… hast climbed into the bed of Juno! Surely thou art bound unto, and broken upon, the wheel; yet hast thou uncovered the nakedness of the Holy One, and the Queen of Heaven is in travail of child, and his name shall be called Vir, and Vis, and Virus, and Virtus, and Viridis, in one name that is all these, and above all these. Desolate, desolate is the Aethyr, for thou must return unto the habitations of the Owl and the Bat, unto the Scor- 140

Movel and Appear! before the covenant of his mouth which he hath shewn unto us in his justice. (‘The Covenant” is the letter Aleph; “His mouth,” pé; “His Justice,” lamed; and these add up again to Aleph, so that it is in the letter Aleph, which is zero, thus symbolizing the circles of the Aethyrs, that he calleth them forth. But men thought that Aleph w…

Let then the Adept extend his Will beyond the Circle in this imagined Shape and let it radiate with the Light proper to the Elément invoked, and let each Word issue along the Shaft with passionate impulse, as if its voice gave command thereto that it shoul…

All this is symbolized in the holy rites which we have recovered from the darkness of history, and now in the fullness of time disclose that the world may be redeemed. For the corruptible shall put on incorruptibility, the mortal shall put on immortality ; my adepts shall walk crowned in the Gardens of the World, enjoying the breeze and the sunlight, plucking the roses and filling their mouths with ripe grapes. They shall dance in the moon…
