… none like unto thee among men or among Gods! Lift up thyself, o my prophet, thy stature shall surpass the stars. They shall worship thy name, foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the number of the man; and the name of thy house 418. 79. The end of the hiding of Hadit; and blessing & worship to the prophet of the lovely Star!
…Abyss of my Being; and I wrote in my Magical Record the Triumph for which I have warred for over seventeen years 718 XTHAH 666 NO FITTER NAME COULD BE FOUND, THAT WAS SURE... And then came a flash to confirm me, to chase the last cloud of criticism: the actual name of the Stèle, its ordinary name, the only name it ever had until it was called the “stélé of revealing”, in The Book of the Law itself, “its name” in the Catalogue of the Museum at Bülâq, was just this: “Stèle 666.” I have described this discovery at length because I wish to emphasiz…
…Cephalœdium of Trinacria. These verses are very subtly worded. How should I under stand this allusion to the Stèle; how “count well its name” without knowing it? I tried to count “Abomination of Desolation”, but that is what “they shall call” it, not its proper name. It seemed that this name, when found, ought to add to 718, or to be identical with some other word or phrase that did so. More, this name when found must somehow express “the fall of Because”. For many years these two verses, despite elaborate research, yielded no meaning soever. …

…hey are as upon the earth; I am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit. 22. Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt. 23. But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all! 24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty. 25. Divide, ad…

…The Law is for All “Mary inviolate” is to be “torn upon wheels” because tearing is the only treatment for her; and rv, “a wheel,” is the name of the feminine principle.1 It is her own sisters who are to punish her for the crime of denying Her nature, not men who are to redeem her, since, as above remarked, it is man’s own false sense of guilt, his selfishness, and his cowardice, which originally forced her to blaspheme against herself, and so degraded her in her own eyes, and in his. Let him attend to his own particular business, to redeem hims…

…nd “Justice”3 in the Tarot. This title should probably be AL, “El,” as the “L” was heard of the Voice of Aiwaz, not seen. AL is the true name of the Book, for these letters, and their number 31, form the Master Key to its Mysteries. 1 [“Liber L vel Legis sub figura CCXX,” in OEAHMA [London: pri vately printed for initiates of A.'.A.'., 1909], vol. 3, and The Equinox 1(10) (1913), p. 9.] 2 [Crowley, Liber XXX /Erum ...

… involving the formula shT = ©. 93 is the numeration of thelema (Grk. deXrjgia, “will”) and agape (Grk. ayairr], “love”), as well as the name Aiwaz in Hebrew (FTP). See Crowley, Book 4, Parts I-IV, rev. ed., passim.] One of the first and most important points to be noted is that the whole Book of the Law rests upon a mathematical basis. It makes no partial appeal; it does not depend upon religious theory or racial tradition. One who knows far more than I do both of mathematics and of mysticism has thrown a clearer light than I could upon the ev…
…e satisfied with so crude an invention. 1 [The ST has the numeration 6.] Then came XAPATH, 713, an “engraved character.” That was a true name for the Stèle; if I suffixed AA, 5, it might read “The Mark of Hadit.” But I did not feel inwardly that thrill of ecstasy that springs in the heart or that dawn of amaze ment that kindles the mind, when Truth’s sheer simplicity takes form. There is a definite psychological phenomenon which accompanies any important discovery. It is like First Love, at First Sight, to the one; like the recognition of a La…
… loses its sense of separateness by dissolution in Her. There has been much difficulty in the orthography (in sacred languages) of these names. Nu is clearly stated to be 56, 1]; but Had is only hinted obscurely. This matter is discussed later more fully; verses 15 and 16. 2. Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been revealed. I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am not extended, and Khabs is the name of my House. Commentary: Khabs—“a star”—is an unit of Nuit, and therefore Nuit Herself. This doctrine is enormously dif…

Wilkinson wrote under the pen-name Louis Marlow, and like Crowley, was a member of the small English expatriate community in New York during the First World War. Wilkinson was an English man of letters in the best sense; he not only wrote, and wrote well, but lived a literary life 7

… judge the value of his own commentaries, and entrusted the task to his best friend, Louis Wilkinson. Wilkinson (who wrote under the pen-name Louis Marlow) possessed impressive literary qualifications and had the advantages of knowing Crowley well and being a layman in esoteric matters. The result of his work is this long- awaited authorized popular edition of Crowley’s “new commentary” on The Book of the Law, and its first appearance as Crowley wished it. Louis Wilkinson’s editorial work was posthumously completed and augmented by Frater Super…

But the name of this polity is Choronzon,1 mob rule, unless every individ ual is absolutely disciplined to serve his own, and the common, purpose without friction. 1 [See Liber 418, Tenth Aithyr.] 2 [Matthew 18:9, Mark 9:47.] It is of course better to expel or destroy an irreconcilable. “If thine eye offend thee, cut it out.”1 2 The error in the interpreta tion of this doctrine has been that it has not been taken as…
