Such a word was indeed the lost Tetragrammaton \ It is said that at the utterance of this name the Universe crashes into dis¬ solution. Let the Magician eamestly seek this Lost Word, for its pronunciation is synonymous with the accomplish- ment of the Great Work. 1 2 In this matter of the efficacity of words there are again two formulæ exactly opposite in nature. A word may become potent and terrible by virtue of constant répétition. It is in this way that most religions gain strength. At first the statement “So and so is God” excites no intere…

But now the Word of Me the Beast is this; not only art thou Woman, sworn to a purpose not thine own; thou art thyself a star, and in thyself a purpose to thyself. Not only mother of men art thou, or whore to men; serf to their need of Life and Love, not sharing in their Light and Liberty; nay, thou art Mother and Whore for thine own pleasure; the Word I say to Man I say to thee no less: “Do what thou wilt shall be the who…

And you will have seen this for yourself, that in every act of Love time and space disappear with the creation of the Life by its virtue, as also doth personality itself. For the third time, then, in even subtler sense, “The word of Sin is Restriction.” L…

…then of course you must know if he is "one of the believing J inn." Briefly, is he a friend or an enemy? You accordingly say to him "The word of the Law is Thelema." It turns out that he doesn't understand Greek at all, so you were certainly right in choosing Hebrew. You put it to him, "What is the word of the Law?" and he replies darkly: "The word of the Law is Thora." That means nothing to you; any one might know as much as that , Thora being the ordinary word for the Sacred Law of Israel, and you accordingly ask him to spell it to make sure …

…s destroyed. That which remains has passed through fire; and is therefore, in a sense, of the nature of fire. The Urn is engraved with a word or symbol expressive of the nature of the being whose ash is therein. The Magus is thus, of course, not a person in any ordinary sense; he represents a certain nature or idea. To put it otherwise, we may say, the Magus is a word. He is the Logos of the Aeon which he brings to pass1. The above is obscure. I perceived and deplore the fact. The idea may be more intelligible, examined in the light of history.…

…eparedness in Magick is as important as it is in War. V It should be profitable to make a somewhat detailed study of the strange-looking word AUMGN, for its analysis affords an excellent illustration of the principles on which the Practicus may construct his own Sacred Words. This word has been uttered by the Master Therion himself, as a means of declaring his own personal work as the Beast, the Logos of the Aeon. To understand it, we must make a preliminary considération of the word which it replaces and from which it was developed: the word A…

The answer was “Yes”. He then asked: “Am I to take the Word OHPION alone, or the three words TO META OHPÏON ? ” The answer was to take the word OHPION alone.
