Before leaving the subject of Black Magic, one may touch 
lightly on the question of Pacts with the Devil. 
The Devil tloes not exist. It is a false name invenîed by 
tlie Black Brothers to imply a Unity in tlieir ignorant 
muddle of dispersions» A devil who liad unity would be 
a God L. 
It was said by the Sorcerer of the Jura that in order to invoke 
the Devil it is only necessary to caîl him with y our whole 
will. 
This is an universal magical truth, and applies to every other 
being as much as to the Devil. For the whole will of every man 
is in reality the whole will of the Uni verse. 
It is, however, always easy to call up the démons, for they are 
always calling you; and you hâve only to step down to their level 
i. “The Devil” is, historically, the God of any people that one 
personally dislikes. This has led to so much confusion of thought that 
The Beast 666 has preferred to let names stand as they are, and to 
proclaim simply that Aiwaz — the solar-phallic-hermetic “Lucifer” is His 
own Holy Guardian Angel, and “The Devil” Satan or Hadit of our 
particular unit of the Starry Universe. This serpent, Satan, is not the 
enemy of Man, but He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and 
Evil; He bade “Know Thyself!” and taught Initiation. He is “the Devil” 
of the Book of Thoth, and His emblem is Baphomet, the Androgyne who 
is the hieroglyph of arcane perfection. The number of His Atu is xv, which 
is Yod Hé, the Monogram of the Eternal, the Father one with the Mother, 
the Virgin Seed one with all-containing Space. He is therefore Life, and 
Love. But moreover his letter is Ayin, the Eye; he is Light, and his 
Zodiacal image is Capricornus, that leaping goat whose attribute is Liberty. 
(Note that the “Jéhovah” of the Hebrews is etymologically connected with 
these. The classical example of such antinomy, one which has led to such 
disastrous misunderstandings, is that between Nu and HAD,North and South, 
Jésus and John. The subject is too abstruse and complicated to be discussed 
in detail here. The student shouîd consult the writings of Sir R. Payne 
Knight, General Forlong, Gerald Massey, Fabre d’Olivet; etc. etc., for 
the data on which these considérations are ultimately based.)
