…ofane, for it gives immense power for either good or evil to its possessors. It is recorded in symbol, parable and allegory, requiring a Key for its interpretation. The symbols of Freemasonry were originally derived from the more ancient mysteries, as all who have travelled the burning sands know. The ritual and ceremonies, signs and passwords have been preserved with great fidelity; but the Real Key has been long lost to the crowds who have been initiated, advanced and raised in Masonry. The KEY to this knowledge can, however, be placed within…

…Ah! mouth half-opened to the warm spring air! Ah! eyes that smouldering never burst in flame! Ah! thou unsatisfied, immutable one In the key of blue . . . the threefold destiny, Is not for thee, nor ever shall be thine ! The lust of joy incarnate! Incarnate youth Of the world! Alack! No longer art thou King Of the Underworld; no more thy road is peace, For not by longing nor by wonderment Shalt thou gain the drooping west, the starless place, The sun-shot centre of the folden stars, The palace of the cloudy Underworld.

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES being, or the collection of beings, the intellectual infinite in a word, is so difficult to imagine! Besides, every imagination makes its creator an idolater; he is obliged to believe in it, and worship it. Our spirit should be silent before Him, and our heart alone has the right to give Him a name: Our Father!

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES hieroglyphic emblems compose the twenty-one trumps of our Tarot. In the centre of the ring may be perceived the double triangle forming the Star or Seal of Solomon. It is the religious and metaphysical triad analogous to the natural triad of universal generation in the equilibrated substance. Around the triangle is the cross which divides the circle into four equal parts, and thus the symbols of religion are united to the signs of geometry; faith completes science, and science acknowledges faith. By the aid of this key …

Work, then, and seek, O Science, but respect the oracles of Faith! When your doubt leaves a gap in universal enlightenment, allow Faith to fill it!

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES another when one wishes to take hold of that other and dominate him. The astral ascendant has been divined by other magi, who gave it the name of ¢ourdi/lon (vortex). It is, say they, a current of specialized light, representing always the same circle of images, and consequently determined and determining impressions. These vortices exist for men as for stars. ‘The stars,” said Paracelsus, “ breathe out their luminous soul, and attract each other's radiation. The soul of the earth, prisoner of the fatal laws of gravitat…

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES called the Berashith, and the Mercavah, the luminous tree of the Sephiroth, and the key of the Shemhamphorash. We have spoken at some length in our book entitled Dogme et vituel dela haute magie of a hieroglyphic monu- ment (preserved up to our own time under a futile pretext) which alone explains all the mysterious writings of high initiation. This monument is that Tarot of the Bohemians which gave rise to our games of cards. It is composed of twenty-two allegorical letters, and of four series of ten hiero- glyphs each…

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES passive; the woman sympathizes with death, and draws Adam with her in her fall. They are then driven out from the sanctuary of truth, and a kerub (a bull-headed sphinx, vide the hieroglyphs of Assyria, of India and of Egypt) is placed at the gate of the garden of truth in order to prevent the pro- fane from destroying the tree of life. Here we have mysterious dogma, with all its allegories and its terrors, replacing the simplicity of truth. The idol has replaced God, and fallen humanity will not delay to give itself up …

There exists a dogma, there exists a key, there exists a sublime tradition; and this dogma, this key, this tradition is transcendental magic. There only are found the absolute of knowledge and the eternal bases of law, guardian against all madness, all superstition and all error, the Eden of the intelligence, the ease of the heart, and the peace of the soul. We do not say this in the hope of convincing the scoffer, but only to guide the seeker. C…

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES CHAPTER IV ARCANUM ARCANORUM THE great arcanum—that is to say, the unutterable and inexplicable secret—is the absolute knowledge of good and of evil. “When you have eaten the fruit of this tree, you will be as the gods,” said the Serpent. ABSURDITE “Tf you eat of it, you will die,” replied Divine Wisdom. Thus good and evil bear fruit on one same tree, and from one same root. Good personified is God. Evil personified is the Devil. To know the secret or the formula of God is to be God. To know the secret or the formula of…
