Award of the Elephants Heart

Awarded to Miriam bat Pessah (modernly known as Marilyn Finkelman)

By the Barony of Cynnabar on 2017-08-09

Where is the soul that is strong enough not to be deceived by flaws in the views of philosophers, scientists, astrologers, adepts, magicians, materialists, and other knowledgeable people? Who can know the truth without having first passed through many stages of falsehood?

Life is short, but the labor of learning is long. Only few can detect the points of error in that which is misguided.

Seeing that she is one of those few, We give unto Miriam bat Pessah Our Award of the Elephant’s Heart.

Let none countermand Our words.
