THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Such is the first part of the Ritual of Initiation. In the second part the Master is made to understand what is that Abyss which he has passed. In the 11th Athyr he comes to the fortress upon the frontier of the Abyss, and is there prepared for the crossing of the Abyss. Every drop of his blood is taken for the cup of BABALON.

His motto, “Fides, spes, caritas sunt virtutes ab omnibus Christianis diligende” had to be shortened for convenience’ sake to “ Fides,” or, more usually, “ Fido”; and it was exc…
