… do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? Go! Go! If I keep silence—Or if I speak each word is anguish without hope. And I heard the Aethyr cry aloud “Return! Return! Return! For the work is ended; and the Book is shut; and let the glory be to God the Blessed for ever in the Aeons, Amen.” Thus far is the voice of TEX and no more. Tue Cry OF THE TWENTY AND NINTH AIRE OR AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED RII The sky appears covered with stars of gold; the background is of green. But the impression is also of darkness. 6

THE EQUINOX Therefore do I cry aloud, and my scream is the treble as the bellowing of the bull is the bass. Peace in the highest and peace in the lowest and peace in the midst thereof! Peace in the eight quarters, peace in the ten points of the Penta- gram! Peace in the twelve rays of the seal of Solomon, and peace in the four and thirty whirlings of the hammer of Thor! Behold! I blaze upon thee. (The eagle is gone; it is only a flaming Rosy Cross of white brilliance.) I catch thee up into rapture. FALUTLI, FALUTLI! . . . O it dies, it dies. Bo…

THE VISION AND THE VOICE (There were two voices in all this Cry, one behind the other —or, one was the speech, and the other the meaning. And the voice that was the speech was simply a roaring, one tre- mendous noise, like a mixture of thunder and water-falls and wild beasts and bands and artillery. And yet it was articulate, though I cannot tell you what a single word was. But the meaning of the voice—the second voice—was quite silent, and put the ideas directly into the brain of the Seer, as if by touch. It is not certain whether the mill-sto…

THE VISION AND THE VOICE THE Cry OF THE 4TH AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED PAZ The Stone is translucent and luminous, and no images enter therein. A voice says: Behold the brilliance of the Lord, whose feet are set upon him that pardoneth transgression. Behold the six-fold Star that flameth in the Vault, the seal of the marriage of the great White King and his black slave. So I looked into the Stone, and beheld the six-fold Star: the whole Aethyr is as tawny clouds, like the flame of a furnace. And there is a mighty host of Angels, blue and golden, th…

THE EQUINOX head, and his throat is livid with the pressure of her fingers. Their joint cry is an intolerable anguish, yet it is the cry of their rapture, so that every pain, and every curse, and every bereavement, and every death of everything in the whole universe, is but one little gust of wind in that tempest-scream of ecstasy. The voice thereof is not articulate. It is in vain to seek comparison. It is absolutely continuous, without breaks or beats. If there seem to be vibration therein, it is because of the imperfection of the ears of the…

…T UPON THE NATURES OF THE AETHYRS 30. Without the cube—the material world—is the sphere- system of the spiritual world enfolding it. The Cry seems to be a sort of Exordium, an external showing forth of the coming of the new Aeon, the Aeon of Horus the crowned child. 29. The disturbance of Equilibrium caused by the Coming of the Aeon. 28. Now is a further and clearer shadowing-forth of the Great Mystery of the Aeon which is to be led up to by the Aethyrs. Note however that the King of the New Aeon never appears until the very first Aethyr. 27. H…

THE VISION AND THE VOICE Tue Cry OF THE THIRTIETH OR INMosT AIRE oR AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED TEX I am in a vast crystal cube in the form of the Great God Harpocrates. This cube is surrounded by a sphere. About me are four archangels in black robes, their wings and armour lined out in white. In the North is a book on whose back and front are A.M.B.Z. in Enochian characters. Within it is written: I AM, the surrounding of the four. Lift up your heads, O Houses of Eternity: for my Father goeth forth to judge the World. One Light, let it become a tho…

…it is no more; my soul is no more. My life leaps out into annihilation! Aka dua Tuf ur biu Bi a’a chefu Dudu ner af an nuteru. It is the cry of my body! Save me! I have come too close, I have come too close to that which may not be endured. It must awake, the body; it must assert itself. It must shut out the Aethyr, or else it is dead. Every pulse aches, and beats furiously. Every nerve stings like a serpent. And my skin is icy cold. Neither God nor man can penetrate the Mystery of the Aethyr. (Here the Seer mutters unintelligibly.) And even th…

THE EQUINOX (This cry was obtained on Dec. 6, 1909, between 2 and 4.15 p.m., in a lonely valley of fine sand, in the desert near Bou-Saada. The Aethyr was edited and revised on the following day.) After the conclusion of the Ceremony, a great fire was kindled to purify the place, and the Circle and Triangle were destroyed. NOTE BY SCRIBE. Almost from the beginning of the ceremony was the Scribe overshadowed, and he spoke as it were in spite of himself, remembering afterwards scarcely a word of his speeches, some of which were long and seemingly…

And also there is an Assyrian legend of a woman with a fish, and also there is a legend of Eve and the Serpent, for Cain was the child of Eve and the Serpent, and not of Eve and Adam; and therefore when he had slain his brother, who was the fi…

Into the stone there first cometh the head of a dragon, and then the Angel Madimi. She is not the mere elemental that one would suppose from the account of Casaubon. I enquire why her form is different. She says: Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee. But behold! Thou must pierce deeply into this Aethyr…

…and all is shattered. And I saw above me a Vast Arm reach down, dark and terrible, and a voice cried: I AM ETERNITY. And a great mingled cry arose: “No! no! no! All is changed; all is confounded; naught is ordered: the white is stained with blood: the black is kissed of the Christ! Return! Return! It is a new chaos that thou findest here: chaos for thee: for us it is the skeleton of a New Truth!” I said: Tell me this truth: for I have conjured ye by the Mighty Names of God, the which ye cannot but obey. The voice said: Light is consumed as a ch…

Tue Cry OF THE 28TH AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED BAG There cometh an Angel into the stone with opalescent shining garments like a wheel of fire on every side of him, and in his hand is a long flail of scarlet lightning; his face is black, and his eyes white without any pupil or iris. The face is very terrible indeed to look upon. Now in front of him is a wheel, with many spokes, and many tyres; it is like a fence in fr…

Let none speak of it: let none write it: I, I am troubled, my eyes are moist with dews of terror: surely the Bitterness of Death is past. And I turned me to the South and lo! a great lion as wounded and perplexed. He cried: I have conquered! Let the Sons of Earth keep silence; for my Name is become as That of Death!

(The terrible Curse that is the Call of the Thirty Aethyrs sounds like a song of ecstasy and triumph; every phrase in it has a secret meaning of blessing.)

Unfathomable is their beauty, for they are limpid, and the floor is of gold. Yet the sense thereof is of fruitlessness. And an Angel cometh forth, of pure pale gold, walking upon the water. Above his head is a rainbow, and the water foams beneath his feet. And he saith: Before his face am …

Know thou that there is no Cry in the tenth Aethyr like unto the other Cries, for Choronzon is Dispersion, and cannot fix his mind upon any one thing for any length of time. Thou canst master him in argument, O talkative one; thou wast commanded, wast thou not, to talk toChoronzon? He sought not to enter the circle, or to leave the triangle, yet thou didst prate of all these things. (Here the Scribe threatened the demon with anger and p…
