a gold  tablet from Thurii, an Orphic text 

but when the sould forsake the light of the sun

take the right ... each step with all due care

Welome! after an ordeal you have never been through before

A god you are and mortal no longer.You are the kid that rushed to milk

Welcome and rejoice! Take the path to the right
