The Lore of Orpheus of the Veil

1 In the beginning Orpheus created the heavens and the Runiverse.

2 Now the Runiverse was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Orpheus was hovering over the waters.

**3 **And Orpheus said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

**4 **Orpheus saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

**5 **Orpheus called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

**6 **And Orpheus said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”

**7 **So Orpheus made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.

**8 **Orpheus called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

**9 **And Orpheus said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.

**10 **Orpheus called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And Orpheus saw that it was good.

**11 **Then Orpheus said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.

**12 **The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And Orpheus saw that it was good.

**13 **And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

**14 **And Orpheus said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,

15 And let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light in the Runiverse.” And it was so.

**16 **Orpheus made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

**17 **Orpheus set them in the vault of the sky to give light in the Runiverse,

18 To govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And Orpheus saw that it was good.

**19 **And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

**20 **And Orpheus said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly in the Runiverse across the vault of the sky.”

**21 **So Orpheus created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And Orpheus saw that it was good.

**22 **Orpheus blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase in the Runiverse.”

**23 **And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

**24 **And Orpheus said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.

**25 **Orpheus made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And Orpheus saw that it was good.

**26 **Then Orpheus said, “Let us make Wizards in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

**27 **So Orpheus created Wizards in his own image, in the image of Orpheus he created them; male and female he created them.

**28 **Orpheus blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

**29 **Then Orpheus said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole Runiverse and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

**30 **And to all the beasts of the Runiverse and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

**31 **Orpheus saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

**32 **Thus the heavens and the Runiverse were completed in all their vast array.

**33 **By the seventh day Orpheus had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

**34 **Then Orpheus blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
