Dunno if this was done already, but I think it is worth leaving it here in case someone didn't pay attention.
This is the Anima Animusphere chant.
>1 Starsスターズ
>2 Cosmosコスモス
>3 Godsゴッズ
>4 Animusアニムス
>5 Antrum?アントルム
>6 Unverse?Universe?アンバース
>7 Anima, Animusphereアニマ、アニムスフィア
Which are the furigana respectively to
>1 星の形。
>2 宙の形。
>3 神の形。
>4 我の形。
>5 天体は空洞なり。
>6 空洞は虚空なり。
>7 虚空には、神ありき
First three are the words for star星, space宙 and god神. The addition would be the 形 which doesn't add much, as it just means "form, shape, figure". Therefore, the four first lines are always "form of X".
On the fourth something changes, as the equivalent for animus is 我(われware) which is either 'I' or 'myself' depending on the syntax.
Then we have sentences that brings 3 new terms which are 天体tentai celestial body, 空洞cavity, 虚空kokuu empty space. It is important to notice that all these words are nouns.
So, assuming such information, the translation should be:
>5 Celestial Bodies are located in a cavity
>6 Cavity is located in the empty space
>7 At the empty space, God resides.
Also, the seventh line has as its furigana the "Anima Animusphere" compound. That is, when you pronounce this two words, you're declaring that 'God resides at the empty space'.

Did you notice that this is a description of a layered structure? And not only that, that it has a hierarchy? First we have stars, then we have the heavens, then we have gods, then we have the individual spirit/mind, then we have celestial bodies, then the empty space, then the emptyness itself and finally, God.
When Kirschtaria uses tha Meteor Shower magic he starts another chant, to which I prefer calling a prayer because it has a vocative:虚空の神よ that is 'Oh God of the Void'.
I find this rather interesting considering what we know about the root, how it is the equivalent of the throne of God, how it holds the source to omniscience, a godly trait, and so on.

What do you think? Is there anything on what you read on older works that might link to it?
