the Magical Operation of publishing it. When this was done, it 
was done without proper perfection. Its commands as to how the 
work ought to be done were not wholly obeyed. There were doubt 
and répugnance in Frater Perdurabo^ mind, and they hampered 
His work. He was half-hearted. Yet, even so, then intrinsic 
power of the truth of the Law and the impact of the publication 
were sufficient to shake the world so that a critical war broke out, 
and the minds of men were moved in a mysterious manner. The 
second blow was struck by the re-publication of the Book in 
September 1913, and this time the might of this Magick burst out 
and caused a catastrophe to civilization. At this hour, the Master 
Therion is concealed, collecting his forces for a final blow. When 
the Book of the Law and its Comment is published, with the forces 
of His whole Will in perfect obedience to the instructions which 
hâve up to now been misunderstood or neglected, the resuit will 
be incalculably effective. The event will establish the kingdom 
of the Crowned and Conquering Child over the whole earth, and 
ail men shall bow to the Law, which is “love under Will”. 
This is an extreme case; but there is one law only to govern the 
small as the great. The same laws describe and measure the 
motions of the ant and the stars. Their light is no swifter than 
that of a spark. In every operation of Magick the link must be 
properly made. The first requisite is the acquisition of adéquate 
force of the kind required for the purpose. We must hâve 
electricity of a certain potential in sufficient amount if we wish 
to heat food in a furnace. We shall need a more intense current 
and a greater supply to light a city than to charge a téléphoné 
wire. No other kind of force will do. We cannot use the force 
of steam directly to impel an aéroplane, or to get drunk. We 
must apply it in adéquate strength in an appropriate manner. 
It is therefore absurd to invoke the spirit of Venus to procure 
us the love of an Empress, unless we take measures to transmit 
the influence of our work to the lady. We may for example 
consecrate a letter expressing our Will; or, if we know how, we 
may use some object connected with the person whose acts we are 
attempting to control, such as a lock of hair or a handkerchief
