…f thee, crying aloud; Ay me, an such be the Fruit of thy Magick, o my Master, then let me, me also, even me, give myself utterly to this Holy Art! Then did I, becoming heavy in Spirit, make Question of her, saying: To what End? And at this was she confounded and brought into Bewilderment; but after a great While, fumbling in her Mind, made Answer, like a Scarecrow in a Field, so was it for Rags and Tatters of Thought. Thus yet more Atrabilious and Sluggard was this Liver of thy Father, so that I fell into a Gloom night unto Weeping. Then she be…

… away! For the seal of His loving-kindness is made sure. And let there be praise and blessing unspeakable unto him that sitteth upon the Holy Throne, for he casteth down mercies as a spendthrift that scattereth gold. And he hath shut up judgment and hidden it away as a miser that hoardeth coins of little worth. All this while the Angel hath been pushing me backwards, and now he is turned into a golden cross with a rose at its heart, and that is the red cross wherein is set the golden shew- stone. Bou-SAapa.

CHAPTER VII The Formula of the Holy Graal: of Abrahadabra: and of certain other Words. Also : The Magicai. Memory. The Hieroglyph shewn in the Seventh Key of the Tarot (des- cribed in the I2th Aethyr, Liber 418, Equinox I, V) is the Charioteer of Our Lady Babalon, whose Cup or Graal he bears. Now this is an important formula. It is the First of the Formulæ, in a sense, for it is the formula of Renunciation. 1 2 It is also the Last ! This Cup is said to be full of the Blood of the Saints ; that is, every “sainC’ or magician must give the last dr…

…n is performed by water, and banishing by air, whose weapon is the sword. Consécra¬ tion is performed by fire, usually symbolised by the holy oil.1 In most extant magical rituals the two operations are per¬ formed at once; or (at least) the banishing has the more important place, and greater pains seem to be taken with it; but as the student advances to Adeptship the banishing will diminish in importance, for it will no longer be so necessary. The Circle of the Magician will hâve been perfected by his habit of Magical work. In the truest sense …

…hath hidden Himself in The Book of the Law. This Substance is the Father, the Instrument is the Son, and the Metaphysical Ekstacy is the Holy Ghost, whose Name is HRILIU. These are then the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, whose sacred letters are R (r), B (b), and D (d). But the last of the Diverse Letters is H (h), which in the Tarot is the Star whose Eidolon is D (d); and herein is that Arcanum concerning the Tao of which I have already written. Of this will I not write more plainly. But mark this, that our Trinity is our Path inwards in the Solar S…

… In one, the best, system of Magick, the Absolute is called the Crown, God is called the Father, the Pure Soul is called the Mother, the Holy Guardian Angel is called the Son, and the Natural Soul is called the Daughter. The Son purifies the Daughter by wedding her; she thus becomes the Mother, the uniting of whom with the Father absorbs all into the Crown. See Liber CDXVIII.

The horror of this mental struggle is well depicted in “ Jephthah ” when Jared says : Those eyes upon me, torturing my soul And threatening reven…

Also I was given to enjoy the subtle Presence of my Lord interiorly during the whole of this twelfth day. Then Ι besought the Lord that He would take me into His presence eternally even now.

…As was said at the opening of the second chapter, the Single Suprême Ritual is the attainment of the Knowledge and Conver¬ sation of the Holy Guardian Angel. It is the raisin g of the complété man in a vertical straight line. Any déviation from tliis line tends to become black magic. Any otlier operation is black magic. In the True Operation the Exaltation is equilibrated by an expansion in the other three arms of the Cross. Hence the Angel immediately gives the Adept power over the Four Great Princes and their servitors. 1 If the magician need…

He wears a crown to affirm his lordship, his divinity; a robe to symbolize silence, and a lamen to declare his work. The book of spells or conjurations is his magical record, his Karma.
