The
pages of this
Book
are of virgin
vellum,
made
from
the calf
which
was
borne
by Isis-Hathor
the
Great
Mother, to Osiris-Apis
the
Redeemer.
It
is
bound
in blue leather
on which
the word
Thelema
is
written
in gold.
Let
the
pen
with
which
the
writing
is done
be the
feather
of a
young
male
swan — that
swan whose
name
is Aum.
And
let the ink
be made of the gall of a fish, the fish Cannes.
Thus far concerning
the Book.
