I am the Heart and the Snake is entwined About the invisible core of the mind. Rise, O my snake It is now is the hour Of the hooded and holy ineffable flower. Rise, O my snake, into brilliance of bloom On the corpse of Osiris afloat in the tomb O heart of my mother, my sister, mine own, Thou art given to Nile, to the terror Typhon!

The following day it was discovered that the tresses were missing, though what really happened to them was not recorded. Conon of Samosa mathematician and astronomer who worked at Alexandria, asserted that a group of stars near the tail of the lion (Leo, was indeed, the hair of Berenice that had gone onto the heavens to join the constellations. The hint here is the Alchemy of physical transference the turning of the physical cells to spiritual cells (the Aehthyr) as discussed by Crowley in MITP and also by the Supramental Yoga of Mother and Sri Aurobindo.
