Liber Al vel Legis

…s. 9. Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you! 10. Let my servants be few and secret: they shall rule the many and the known. II. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods and their men are fools. 3

Liber Al vel Legis

I. Abrahadabra! the reward of Ra-Hoor- Khut. 2. There is a division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling is de- funct; all is not aught. Before! Hold! Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit! 3. Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them. 4. Choose ye an island! 5. Fortify it! 6. Dung it about with enginery of war! 7. I will give you a war-engine. 8. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you. 9. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them-! this is the Law of the Battle …

Liber Al vel Legis

…s is the name of my House. 3. In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found. 4. Yet she shall be known and I never. 5. Behold! the rituals of the old time are black. Let the evil ones be cast away; let the good ones be purged by the prophet! Then shall this knowledge go aright. 6. I am the flame that burns in every'heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life; yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death. 7. I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle o…

Liber Al vel Legis

…o us the ordeals; write unto us the rituals; write unto us the law! 34. But she said: The ordeals I write not: the rituals shall be half known and half con- cealed: the Law is for all. 35. This that thou writest is the threefold book of Law. 36. My scribe Ankh-af—na-khonsu,the priest of the princes, shall not in one letter change his book; but lest there be folly, he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit. 37.

Liber Al vel Legis

…are! If pity and compassion and tenderness visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with old sweetnesses; then shall my vengeance be known. I will slay me her child: I will alienate her heart: I will cast her out from men: as a shrinking and despised harlot shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and die cold and an-hungered. 44.

Liber Al vel Legis

…they do not see me. They are upon the earth; Ι 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!
