…tion. This can take place only at an “Equinox of the Gods” at the end of an “Aeon”; that is, when the secret formula which expresses the Law of its action becomes outworn and useless to its further development. (Thus “Suckling” is the formula of an infant : when teeth appear it marks a new “Aeon”, whose “Word” is “Eating”). A Magus can therefore only appear as such to the world at inter- vais of some centuries ; accounts of historical Magi, and their Words, are given in Liber Aleph. This does not mean that only one man can attain this Grade in …

… be, we thereby do wrong to ourselves. We thwart our own tendencies. To live is to change; and to oppose change is to revoit against the law which we hâve enacted to govern our lives. To resent destiny is thus to abdicate our sovereignty, and to invoke death. Indeed, we hâve decreed the doom of death for every breach of the law of life. And every failure to incorporate any impression starves the particular faculty which stood in need of it. This Section B invokes Air in the East, with a shaft of golden glory.

E. g. “The Word of the Law is 0EAHMA” (Will) ; this Word has the value of 93. “Love is the law, love under will.” Love, Aya-ruy), likeBsXyjua, adds to 93. AIWAZ itself adds to 93.1 This was ail strange to the scribe; yet years later he discovered the “Lest Word” of one of his own Orders; it was 93 also. The Word of His most holy Order proved equally to count up not entirely beyond possibility. This theory is telepathy. One may postulate that the solution of his problem existed in the subconscious minci of the Master Therion or in that of His se…

And Our Lady Nuit is “divided for love s sake, for the chance of union.” These mirror-mirages are therefore not Works of Magick, according to the Law of Thelema. the true Magick of Horus requires the passionate union of opposites.

It is wise to keep silence about those things “unlawful to utter” which one may hâve heard “in the seventh heaven”. This may not apply to the sixth. The Adept must keep himself in hand, however tempted to make a new heaven and a new earth in the next few davs by trumpeting his triumphs. He must give time a chance to redress his balance, sore shaken by the impact of the Infinité. As he becomes adjusted to intercourse with his Angel, he will find his passionate ecstasy develop a quality of peace and intelligi- bility which adds power, while it in…
