81 {Gamma }{eta } DE FORMULA TOTA.

Here then is the Schedule for all the Operations of Magick.
First, thou shalt discover thy true Will, as I have already
taught thee, and that Bud thereof which is the Purpose of this
Operation.
      
Next, formulate this Bud-Will as a Person, seeking or
constructing it, and naming it according to thine Holy
Qabalah, and its infallible Rule of Truth.  Third, purify and
consecrate this Person, concentrating upon him and against all
else.  This Preparation shall continue in all thy daily Life.
Mark well, make ready a new Child immediately after every
Birth.  Fourth, make an especial and direct Invocation at thy
Mass, before the Introit, formulating a visible Image of this
Child, and offering the Right of Incarnation.  Fifth, perform
the Mass, not omitting the Epiklesis, and let there be a
Golden Wedding Ring at the Marriage of thy Lion with thine
Eagle.  Sixth, at the Consumption of the Eucharist accept this
Child, losing thy Consciousness in him, until he be well
assimilated with thee.  Now then do this continuously, for by
Repetition cometh forth both Strength and Skill, and the
Effect is cumulative, if thou allow no Time to dissipate
itself.


82 {Gamma }{theta } DE HAC FORMULA CONSIDERATIONES KABBALISTICAE.

Behold moreover, my Son, the Oeconomy of this Way, how it
is according to the Tao, fulfilling itself wholly within thine
own Sphere.  And it is utterly in Tune with thine own Will on
every Plane, so that every Part of thy Nature rejoiceth with
every other Part, communicating Praise.  Now then learn also
how this Formula is that of the Word ABRAHADABRA.  First, HAD
is the Triangle erect upon twin Squares.  Of Hadit need I not
to write, for He 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 ({HB:Resh }), B ({HB:Bet }), and D 
({HB:Dalet }).  But the last of the Diverse Letters is H 
({HB:Heh }), which in the Tarot is the Star whose Eidolon is D 
({HB:Dalet }); 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 System, and that
H being of our Lady Nuith starry, is an Anchor to this Magick
which else were apt to deny our wholeness of Relation to the
Outer as to the Inner.  My son, ponder these Words, and profit
by them; for I have wrought cunningly to conceal or to reveal,
according to thine Intelligence, o my Son!

            
83 {Gamma }{iota } DE QUIBUSDAM ARTIBUS MAGICIS.

Now of those Operations of Magick by which thou seekest to
display unto some other Person the Righteousness of thy Will I
make haste to instruct thee.  First, if thou have a reasonable
Link with him by Word or Letter, it is most natural simply to
create in thyself, as I have taught, a Child or Bud-Will, and
let that radiate from thee through the Channels aforesaid.
But if thou have no Link, the Case is otherwise and is not
easy.  Here thou mayst make Communication through others, as
it were by Relays; or thou mayst act directly upon his Aura by
Magical Means, such as the Projection of the Scin-Laeca.  But
unless he be sensitive and well-attuned, thou mayst fare but
ill.  Yet even in this Case thou mayst attain much Skill by
Practice with Intelligence.  In the End it is better
altogether to work wholly within thine own Universe, slowly
and with firm Steps advancing from the Centre, and dealing,
one by one, with those unharmonized Parts of the Not-Self
which lie close to thee.  This therefore closeth the Circle of
my Speech, for now I am returned to that which I spake
aforetime concerning the general Method of love, and thy
Development by that Way.


84 {Gamma }{kappa } DE MAGNO OPERE.

But now give Ear most eagerly, thou Son of my Loins, for I
will now discourse unto thee of thine Own Attainment, without
which all is but Idleness.  Know first that conscious Thought
is but phenomenal, the Noise of thy Machine.  Now Chemistry,
or Al-Chem-y meaneth the Egyptian Science, and the true Magick
of Egypt hath this for its Foundation.  We have in our House
many Substances which act directly upon the Blood, and many
Practices of Virtue similar, to simulate, compose, purify,
analyse, direct, or concentrate the Thought.  Confer "CCXX". II,
22.  But this Action is subtle and of man Modes, and dependeth
heavily on the Conditions of the Experiment, whereof the first
is thine own Will therein.  Therefore I say unto thee that
this is thy Work immediate and necessary, to discover openly
thy Will unto thyself, and to fortify and enkindle it by all
One-Pointedness of Thought and Action, so that thou mayst
direct it inwards unto its Core, that is Thyself in thy Name
HADIT.  For thereby is thy Will made white with Heat, so that
no Dross may cling to it.  But this Work is the Great Work,
and standeth alone.


85 {Gamma }{lambda } DE GRADIBUS AD MAGNUM OPUS.

This Great Work is the Attainment of the Knowledge and
Conversation of thine Holy Guardian Angel.  In the Eighth
Aethyr is the Way thereof revealed.  But I say: prepare
thyself most heartily and well for that Battle of Love by all
means of Magick.  Make thyself puissant, wise, radiant in
every System, and balance thyself well in thine Universe.
Then with a pure Will tempered in the thousand Furnaces of thy
Trials, burn up thyself within thy Self.  In the Preparation
thou shalt have learnt how thou mayst still all Thoughts, and
reach Ekstacy of Trance in many Modes.  But in these Marriages
thy conscious Self is Bridegroom, and the not-Self Bride,
while in this Great Work thou givest up that conscious Self as
Bride to thy true Self.  This Operation is then radically
alien from all others.  And it is hard, because it is a total
Reversal of the Current of the Will, and a Transmutation of
its Formula and Nature.  Here, o my son, is the One Secret of
Success in this Great Work:  Invoke often.


86 {Gamma }{mu } DE FORMULA LUNAE.

Thus then concerning Operations of the Tao with the Yang
and the Yin is there enough; for thine own Art of Beauty shall
divine for thee, and devise new Heavens.  But in all these is
the Formula of the Serpent with the Head of the Lion, and all
this Magick is wrought by the Radiance and Creative Force
thereof.  And this Force leapeth continually from Plane to
Plane, and breaketh forth from his Bonds, so that Constraint
is Labour.  Now then learn that the Yin hath also a Formula of
Force.  And the Nature of the Yin is to be still, and to
encircle of limit, and it is as a Mirror, reflecting diverse
Images without Change in its own Kind.  So then it seeketh
never to overlap the Barriers of its Plane; for this Reason it
is well to use it in Operations of a very definite and
restricted Type.  But although it be inert, yet is it most
subject to Change; for its Number is four Score and one, which
is the Moon; and these are A L O , the Gods elemental before
H descending in their midst made them Creative.  So then thou
mayst use constantly this Formula to rearrange Things in their
own Planes; and this is a most pragmatic Consideration.


87 {Gamma }{nu } DE AQUILAE SUMKNDA.

Take in this Work the Eagle all undefiled and virginal for
thy Sacrament.  And thy Technick is the Magick of Water, so
that thine Act is of Nourishment, and not of Generation.
Therefore the Prime Use of this Art is to build up thine own
Nature.  But if thou hast Skill to control the Mood of the
Eagle, then mayst thou work many an admirable Effect upon
thine Environment.  Thou knowest how great is the Fame of
Witch-Women (old and without Man) to cause Events, although
they create nothing.  It is this Straitness of the Channel
which giveth Force to the Stream.  Beware, o my Son, lest thou
cling overmuch to this Mode of Magick; for it is lesser than
that Other, and if thou neglect That Other, then is thy Danger
fearful and imminent, for it is the Edge of the Abyss of
Choronzon, where are the lonely Towers of the Black Brothers.
Also the Formulation of the Object in the Eagle is by a
Species of Intoxication, so that His Nature is of Dream or
Delirium, and thus there may be Illusion.  For this Cause I
deem it not wholly unwise if thou use this Way of Magick
chiefly as a Cordial; that is for the Fortifying of thine own
Nature.


88 {Gamma }{chi } DE MEDICINIS SECUNDUM QUATTUOR ELEMENTA.

Concerning the Use of chemical Agents, and be mindful that
thou abuse them not, learn that the Sacrament itself relateth
to Spirit, and the Four Elements balanced thereunder in its
Perfection.  So also thy Lion himself hath a fourfold
Menstruum for his Serpents.  Now to Fire belong Cocaine, which
fortifieth the Will, loosing him from bodily Fatigue,
Morphine, which purifieth the Mind, making the Thought safe,
and slow, and single, Heroin which partaketh as it seemeth, of
the Nature of these twain aforesaid albeit in Degree less
notable than either of them, and Alcohol, which is Food, that
is, Fuel, for the whole Man.  To Water, attribute Hashish and
Mescal, for they make Images, and they open the hidden Springs
of Pleasure and of Beauty.  Morphine, for its Ease, hath also
part in Water.  Air ruleth Ethyl Oxide, for it is as a Sword,
dividing asunder ever Part of thee, making easy the Way of
Analysis, so that thou comest to learn thyself of what
Elements thou art compact.  Lastly, of the Nature of Earth are
the direct Hypnotics, which operate by Repose, and restore thy
Strength by laying thee as a Child in the Arms of the Great
Mother, I say rather of Her material and physiological
Vicegerent.


89 {Gamma }{omicron } DE VIRTUTE EXPERIMENTIAE IN HOC ARTE.

Not Sleep, not Rest, not Contentment are of the Will of the
Hero, but these Things he hateth, and consenteth to enjoy them
only with Same of his weak Nature.  But he will analyse
himself without Pity, and he will do all Things soever that
may free and fortify his Mind and Will.  Know that the
Technick of the Right Use of this Magick with Poisons is
subtle; and since the Nature of every Man differeth from that
of his Fellow, there entereth Idiosyncrasy, and thine
Experience shall be thy Master in this Art.  Heed also this
Word following:  The Right Use of these Agents is to gain a
Knowledge preliminary of thine own Powers, and of High States,
so that thou goest not altogether blindly and without Aim in
thy Quest, ignorant of the Ways of thine own inner Being.
Also, thou must work always for a definite End, never for
Pleasure or for Relaxation, except thy wilt, as a good Knight
is sworn to do.  And thou being Hero and Magician art in Peril
of abusing the fiery Agents only, not those of Earth, Air or
Water; because these do really work with thee in Purity,
making thee wholly what thou wouldst be, an Engine
indefatigable, a Mind clear, calm, and concentrated, and a
Heart fierce aglow.


90 {Gamma }{pi } DE SACRAMENTO VERO.

But in the Sacrament of the Gnosis, which is of the Spirit,
is there naught hurtful, for its Elements are not only Food,
but a true Incarnation and Quintessence of Life, Love, and
Liberty, and at its Manifestation thy Lion is consecrated by
pure Light of Ekstacy.  Also, as this is the strongest so also
it is the most sensitive of all Things soever, and both proper
and ready to take Impress of Will, not as a Seal passively but
with true Recreation in a Microcosm thereof.  And this is a
God alive and puissant to create, and He is a Word of Magick
wherein thou mayst read Thyself with all thine History and all
thy Possibility.  Also as to thine Eagle, is not this chosen
by Nature Herself by Her Way of Attraction, without which
harmony Aesthetic and Magnetic thy Lion is silent, and inert,
even as Achilles before his Rage in his Tent.  Now also
therefore I charge thee, o my Son, to partake constantly of
this Sacrament for it is proper to all Virtue, and as thou
dost learn to use it in Perfection, thou wilt surpass all other
Modes of Magick.  Yea, in good Sooth, no Herb or Potion is
like unto this, supreme in every Case, for it is the True
Stone of Philosophers, and the Elixir and Medicine of all
Things, the Universal Tincture or Menstruum of thine own Will.


91 {Gamma }{koppa } DE DISCIPULIS REGENDIS.

I will have thee to know, moreover, my dear Son, the right
Art of Conduct with them whom I shall give thee for
Initiation.  And the Rule thereof is one Rule; Do that thou
wilt shall be the whole of the Law.  See thou constantly to it
that this be not broken; especially in the Section thereof (if
I dare say so) which readeth Mind thine own Business.  This is
of Application equally to all, and the most dangerous Man (or
Woman, as has occurred, or I err) is the Busy-body.  Oh how
ashamed are we, and moved to Indignation, seeing the Sins and
Follies of our Neighbours!  Of all the Occasions of this
Grievance the most common is the Desire of Sex unsatisfied;
and thou knowest already, even in thy young Experience, how in
that Delirium the Weal of the Whole Universe appeareth of no
Account.  Do thou wean thy Babes from that Simplicity, and
instil the Sense of true Proportion.  For verily this is a Way
of Madness, Love, unless it be under Will.  And the Cure of
this Madness is not so good as its Prevention, so that thou
shouldst be beforehand with these Children, shewing them the
right Importance of Love, how it should be a sacred Rite,
exalted above Personality, and a Fire to enlighten and serve
Man, not to devour him.


92 {Gamma }{rho } DE QUIBUSDAM MORBIS DISCIPULORUM.

And thus, if any Babe of thine be ill at ease, look closely
first whether this Love be not the Root of his Distemper.
Watch also Idleness, for whoso presseth eagerly forward in
Will heedeth little the Affairs of this Fellows.  O my Son, if
every Man doth his own Will, there is no more to Say!  But the
Busy-body nor mindeth his own Business, nor leaveth others to
mind theirs.  Be thou instant therefore with such an one, to
cure him by enlightening his Will, and speeding him therein.
Remember also that if one speak ill of another, the Fault is
first of all in himself, for we know naught but that which is
within us.  Did not the great Witch-Finder end by confessing
that he also was a Sorcerer?  We become that which obsesseth
us, either through extreme Hate or Extreme Love.  Knowest thou
not how the one is a Symbol of the other?  For this Reason,
since Love is the Formula of Life, we are under Bond to
assimilate (in the End) that which we fear or hate.  So then
we shall be wise to mould all Things within ourselves in
Quietness and Modulation.  But above all must we use all to
our own End, adapting with Adroitness even our Weakness to the
Work.


93 {Gamma }{sigma } DE CULPIS DOMI PETENDIS.

Therefore, watch heedfully the Fault of another, that thou
mayst correct it in thyself.  For if it were not in thee, thou
couldst not perceive it or understand it.  Lo, in thine
Ekstacy of Love, thou callest upon the Universe to bear
Witness that to this End alone was it created; it is
unthinkable that thou shouldst love another, and
incomprehensible that any Man should grieve.  Yet ere the Moon
change her Quarter, thou art free of thy Lunes, and lovest
another, and it may be grievest in thyself while he that
amazed thee hath joined the Company of the Rejoicing.  Watch
then, and heed thyself; and pay no Heed to thy Fellows,
insofar as they impede thee not.  And let this be the Rule.
For every Will is pure and every Orbit free; but Error
bringeth Confusion.  See therefore that none leave his Path,
lest he foul that of his Brother; and remember also that with
Speed cometh Ease of Control.  Let each Man therefore urge
briskly his Chariot in a right Line toward the Centre; for two
Radii cannot cross.  And beware most of this Love, because it
lieth so close to Will that Dis-ease thereof easily imparteth
his Error to the Whole Way of the Magician.


94 {Gamma }{tau } DE CORPORE UMBRA HOMINIS.

Concerning the Aeon, o my Son, learn that the Sun and His
Vicegerent are in all Aeons, of Necessity, Father, Centre,
Creator, each in His Sphere of Operation. But the Formula of
the past Aeon was of the Dying god, and was based upon
Ignorance.  For Men thought that the Sun died and was reborn
alike in the Day and in the Year; and so also was the Mystery
of Man.  Now already are we well assured by Science how the
Death of the Sun is in Truth but the Shifting of a Shadow; and
in this Aeon (o my son, I lift up my Voice and I make
Prophecy!) so shall it be proven as to Death.  For the Body of
Man is but his Shadow, it cometh and goeth even as the tides
of Ocean; and he only is in Darkness who is hidden by that
Shadow from the Light of his true Self.  Now therefore
understand thou the Formula of Horus, the Lion God, the Child
crowned and conquering that cometh forth in Force and Fire!

For thy Changes are not Phases of thee, but of the Phantoms
which thou mistakest for thy Self.


95 {Gamma }{upsilon } DE SIRENIS.

Concerning the Love of women, o my Son, it is written in
"The Book of the Law" that all is Freedom, if it be come unto
our Lady Nuit.  Yet also there is this Consideration,that for
every Parsifal there is a Kundry.  Thou mayst eat a thousand
Fruits of the Garden; but there is one Tree whose name for
thee is Poison.  In every great Initiation is an Ordeal,
wherein appeareth a Siren or Vampire appointed to destroy the
Candidate.  I have myself witnessed the Blasting of not less
than ten of my own Flowers, that I tended when I was Nemo, and
that although I saw the Cankerworm, and knew it, and gave
urgent Warning.  How then consider deeply in thyself if I were
rightly governed in this Action, according to the Tao.  For we
that are Magicians work without Fear or Haste, being
omnipotent in Eternity, and each Star must go his Way; and who
am I that should save this People?  "Wilt thou smite me as
thou smotest the Egyptian yesterday?"  Yes, although mine were
the Might to save these Ten, I reached not forth mine Arm
against Iniquity, I spake and I was silent; and that which was
appointed came to pass.  As it is written, the Pregnant
Goddess hath let down Her Burden upon the Earth.


96 {Gamma }{phi } DE FEMINA QUADAM.

Knowest thou for what Cause I am moved to write this unto
thee, my Son only-begotten, Child of Magick and of Mystery?
It is that I thy Father am also in this Ordeal of Initiation
at this Hour.  For the Sun is nigh unto the End of the Sign of
the Fishes in the Thirteenth Year of the Aeon, and the New
Current of High Magick leapeth forth as a Flood from the Womb
of my True Lady B A B A L O N.  And a Word hath come to me by
the Mouth of thee Scarlet Woman, whose Name is E V E, or A H I
T H A, concerning the Temple of Jupiter that is builded for
me.  And therein is a Woman appointed to a certain Office.
Now this Woman appeared to me in a Vision when I was in the
House of the Juggler by the Lake among the Mountains, the Sun
being in Cancer in the Eleventh Year of the Aeon, even in the
Week after thy Birth.  And I think this Woman to be Her whom I
call W E S --- R U N.  But even while with a pure Heart I did
invoke Her, there came unto me another like unto Her, so that
I am confused in my Mind and bewildered.  And this other Woman
stirreth my true Nature in its Depth, so that I will not call
it Love.  For the Voice of Love I know of old; but this other
Woman speaketh in a tongue whereof I have no Understanding.


97 {Gamma }{chi } DE SUA VIRTUTE.

What then shall I do therein?  For the Scarlet Woman
adjureth me by the great Name of God ITHUPHALLOS that I deal
with the Other Woman as with any Woman, according to my Will.
But this I fear for that she is not as any Woman, and I deem
her to be the Vampire of this Ordeal.  Now then?  Shall I
fear?  Said I not long since, when I was called of Men Eliphaz
Levi Zahed, that the Error of Oedipus was that he should have
tamed the Sphinx, and ridden her into Thebes?  Shall I not
take this Vampire, if she be such, and master her and turn her
to the Great End?  "Am I such a Man as should flee?"  Is not
all Fear the Word of Failure?  Shall I distrust my Destiny?
Am I that am the Word of the Aeon of so little avail that even
the whole Powers of Choronzon can disperse me?  Nay, o my Son,
there is Courage of Ignorance and Discretion of Knowledge, and
by no less Virtue will I win through unto mine End.  As it is
written: with Courage conquering Fear will I approach thee.


98 {Lambda }{psi } DE ALIQUIBUS MODIS ORACULI PETENDI.

My Son, in all Judgment and Decision is great Delicacy, but
most in these Matters of the Will.  For thou art Advocate as
well as Judge, and unless thou have well organized thy Mind
thou art Bondslave of Prejudice.  For this Cause it is
adjuvant to thy Wisdom to call Witnesses that are not of thine
own Nature, and to ask Oracles whose Interpretation is bound
by fixed rule.  This is the Use of the Book T A R O T, of the
Divination by Earth, or by the other Elements, or by the Book
"Yi-King", and many another Mode of Truth.  Thou knoest by thine
Experience that these Arts deceive thee not, save insofar as
thou deceivest thyself.  So then to thee that art NEMO is no
Siege Perilous at this Table, but to them that are yet below
the Abyss is very notable Danger of Error.  Yet must they
train themselves constantly in these Modes, for Experience
itself shall teach them how their Bias toward their Desires
reacteth in the End against themselves, and hindereth them in
the Execution of their Wills.  Nevertheless, as thou well
knowest, the best Mode is the Creation of an Intelligible
Image by Virtue of the Mass of the Holy Ghost, declaring the
true Will unto thee in Terms of thy Qabalah!


99 {Gamma }{omega } DE FRATRIBUS NIGRIS?  FILIIS INIQUITATIS.

Of the Black Brothers, o my Son, will I write these Things
following.  I have told thee already concerning Change, how it
is the Law, because every Change is an Act of Love under will.
So then He that is Adept Exempt, whether in our Holy Order or
another, may not remain in the Pillar of Mercy, because it is
not balanced, but is unstable.  Therefore is the Choice given
unto him, whether he will destroy his Temple, and give up his
Life, extending it to Universal Life, or whether he will make
a Fortress about that Temple, and abide therein, in the false
Sphere of Daath, which is in the Abyss.  And to the Adepts of
our Holy Order this Choice is terrible; by Cause that they
must abandon even Him whose Knowledge and Conversation they
have attained.  Yet, o my Son, they have much Help of our
Order in this Aeon, because the general Formula is Love, so
that their habit itself urges them to the Bed of our Lady
BABALON.  Know then the Black Brothers by this true Sign of
their Initiation of iniquity, that that they resist Change,
restrict and deny Love, fear Death.  Percutiantur.


100 {Delta }{alpha } DE VIRTUTE CHIRURGICA.

Know that the Cult of the Slave-Gods is a Device of those
Black Brothers.  All that stagnateth is thereof, and thence
cometh not Stability, but Putrefaction.  Endure not thou the
static Standards either in Thought or in Action Resist not
even the Change that is the Rottenness of Choronzon, but
rather speed it, so that the elements may combine by Love
under Will.  Since the Black Brothers and their Cults set
themselves against Change, do thou break them asunder.  Yea,
though of bad come worse, continue in that Way; for it is as
if thou didst open an Abscess, the first Effect being noisome
exceedingly, but the last Cleanness.  Heed not then, whoso
crieth Anarchy, and Immorality, and Heresy against thee, and
feareth to destroy Abuse lest worse Things come of it.  For
the Will of the Universe in its Wholeness is to Truth, and
thou dost well to purge it from its Constiveness.  For it is
written that there is no bond that can unite the Divided by
Love, so that only those Complexes which are in Truth
Simplicities, being built Cell by Cell unto an Unity by Virtue
