LIBER III vel JUGORUM. O. O. Behold the Yoke upon the neck of the Oxen ! Is it not thereby that the Field shali be ploughed ? The Yoke is heavy, but ioineth together them that are separate—Glory to Nuit and to Hadit, and to Him that hath given us the Symbol of the Rosy Cross ! Glory unto the Lord of the Word Abrahadabra, and Glory unto Him that hath given us the Symbol of the Ankh, and of the Cross within the Circle ! 1. Three are the Beasts wherewith thou must plough the Field; the Unicom, the Horse, and the Ox. And these shalt thou yoke in a triple yoke that is governed by One Whip. 2.

(a) Avoid using some common Word, such as “and” or “the” or “but”; use a paraphrase. (b) Avoid using some letter of the alphabet, such as “t”, or “s”, or “m”; use a paraphrase. (c) Avoid using the pronouns and adjectives of the first per- son; use a paraphrase. Of thine own ingenium devise others. I. (i.e. the matter of Cerberus). 427 —
