1. Had! The manifestation of Nuit.
10 ! 405 321 76 75.
2. The unveiling of the company of heaven.
405 170 76 405 271 76 72.
3. Every man and every woman is a star.
226 91 55 226 167 70 1 270.
4. Every number is infinite; there is no difference.
226 303 70 150 ; 610 70 120 351.
5. Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the
120 45, 70 687 304 76 472 , 60 50 170 28 405
Children of men!
307 76 95 !
6. Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my heart & my tongue!
7 476 29 , 50 299 329 , 50 220 & 50 143 !
7. Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat.
116 ! 19 70 256 12 138 405 384 76 858.
8. The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs.
405 88 70 60 405 31 , 129 405 31 60 405 88 .
9. Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you!
666 455 405 88 , 55 116 50 57 309 281 86 !
10. Let my servants be few & secret: they shall rule the many
44 50 412 7 17 & 299 : 420 361 241 405 101
& the known.
& 405 196 .
11. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men
470 206 236 410 95 280 ; 472 615 137 & 615 95
are fools.
206 236 .
12. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill
135 675 , 70 307 , 265 405 330 , & 35 286 76
of love!
76 111 !
13. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours.
10 41 84 86 55 60 86 . 50 165 70 60 346.
My joy is to see your joy.
50 90 70 79 70 286 90 .
14. Above, the gemmed azure is
84 , 405 97 219 70
The naked splendour of Nuit;
405 80 485 76 75 ;
She bends in ecstasy to kiss
305 121 60 165 79 150
The secret ardours of Hadit.
405 299 541 76 29 .
The winged globe, the starry blue,
405 78 110 , 405 480 43 ,
Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
206 105 , 70 345!
15. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite
126 15 361 146 410 405 193 364 & 255 76 150
space is the prince-priest the Beast;
206 70 405 769 405 77 ;
and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given.
55 60 75 167 90 405 325 167 70 61 361 74.
They shall gather my children into their fold:
415 361 609 50 307 139 615 110 :
they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men.
415 361 265 405 313 76 405 330 139 405 301 76 95.
16. For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged
276 15 70 216 1 116, 55 305 1 230 . 17 79 55 70 405 78
secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight.
299 82 , 55 70 210 405 352 327.
17. But ye are not so chosen.
17 15 206 129 130 193.
18. Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!
258 206 675 338 , 70 485 409 !
19. O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them!
70 276 167 , 61 206 445 !
20. The key of the rituals is in the secret word which I have given
405 35 76 405 316 70 60 405 299 280 29 10 17 74
unto him.
135 55 .
21. With the God & the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me.
416 405 77 & 405 480 10 41 583: 415 74 129 70 45.
They are as upon the earth; I am Heaven,
415 206 61 206 405 606 ; 10 41 72 ,
and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit.
55 610 70 120 675 77 451 45, 55 60 304 29.
22. Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by
126, 891 , 10 41 196 70 15 12 50 96 75 , 55 79 55 12
a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me.
1 299 96 29 10 76 24 55 66 10 100 10 551 45.
Since I am Infinite Space,and the Infinite Stars thereof,do ye
185 10 41 150 206 ,55 405 150 330 686 , 74 15
also thus.
161 466 .
Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between
66 583 ! 43 610 7 120 351 50 164 86 82
any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.
61 125 463 & 61 675 463 ; 276 622 610 535 220.
23. But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all!
17 211 453 60 470 , 43 55 7 405 29 76 61!
24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty.
10 41 75 , 55 60 280 70 150 55 41.
25. Divide, add, multiply, and understand.
39 , 9 , 215 , 55 389.
26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I,
455 471 405 449 55 102 76 405 169 125: 81 41 10,
and what shall be the sign? So she answered him,
55 21 361 7 405 123 ? 130 305 331 55 ,
bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all-penetrant,
124 130 , 1 137 82 76 43 , 217 , 470 ,
her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched
210 151 120 206 405 73 606 , & 210 445 86 218
for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers:
276 111 , 55 210 145 25 129 283 405 93 377 :
Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the
476 220 ! 55 405 123 361 7 50 165 , 405
consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence
581 76 405 244 76 284 , 405 635
of my body.
76 50 86 .
27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space,
451 405 364 331 & 75 135 405 166 76 206 ,
kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light
213 210 151 338 , 55 405 15 76 210 57
bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat:
466 75 116 86 60 1 313 342 76 81 ;
O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus;
70 75 , 351 125 76 72 , 44 19 7 216 466 ;
that men speak not of Thee as One but as None;
410 95 166 129 76 410 61 125 17 61 175 ;
and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!
55 44 450 166 129 76 410 10 61 , 185 476 210 351 !
28. None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, and two.
175 , 617 405 57 , 76 & 222 , 76 405 330 , 55 85.
29. For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
276 10 41 43 276 171 86 , 276 405 124 76 186 .
30. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as
470 70 405 365 76 405 310 , 410 405 141 76 220 70 61
nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.
583 , 55 405 90 76 379 61 .
31. For these fools of men and their woes care not thou at all!
276 470 236 76 95 55 675 141 226 129 476 10 61 !
They feel little; what is, is balanced by weak joys;
415 46 93 ; 21 70, 70 153 12 32 150 :
but ye are my chosen ones.
17 15 206 50 193 185 .
32. Obey my prophet! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge! seek
87 50 449 ! 212 85 405 370 76 50 193 ! 90
me only! Then the joys of my love will redeem ye from all pain.
45 160 ! 455 405 150 76 50 111 76 259 15 316 61 141 .
This is so: I swear it by the vault of my body;
470 70 130: 10 272 19 12 405 52 76 50 86 ;
by my sacred heart and tongue; by all I can give,
12 50 290 220 55 143 ; 12 61 10 71 24 ,
by all I desire of ye all.
12 61 10 284 76 15 61.
33. Then the priest fell into a deep trance or swoon, & said
455 405 364 71 139 1 94 325 270 256 , & 75
unto the Queen of Heaven; Write unto us the ordeals;
135 405 166 76 72 ; 230 135 76 405 370 ;
write unto us the rituals; write unto us the law!
230 135 76 405 316 ; 230 135 76 405 37 !
34. But she said: the ordeals I write not: the rituals
17 305 75 : 405 370 10 230 129: 405 316
shall be half known and half concealed: the Law is for all.
361 7 42 196 55 42 245 : 405 37 70 276 61 .
35. This that thou writest is the threefold book of Law.
470 410 476 299 70 405 720 162 76 37 .
36. My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the priest of the princes, shall
50 297 345 , 405 364 76 405 465 , 361
not in one letter change this book; but lest there be folly,
129 60 125 258 67 470 162 ; 17 104 610 7 145 ,
he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
10 361 234 816 12 405 190 76 596 .
37. Also the mantras and spells; the obeah and the wanga; the work of
161 405 361 55 265 ; 405 83 55 405 61 ; 405 296 76
the wand and the work of the sword; these he shall learn and teach.
405 61 55 405 296 76 405 340 ; 470 10 361 286 55 23 .
38. He must teach; but he may make severe the ordeals.
10 115 23 ; 17 10 51 66 281 405 370 .
39. The word of the Law is QELHMA.
405 280 76 405 37 70 481 .
40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close
81 141 76 564 76 74 120 329 , 16 10 190 17 185
into the word.
139 405 280
For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover,
276 610 206 670 610 273 405 269 55 405 311
and the man of Earth.
55 405 91 76 606 .
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
76 21 476 55 361 7 405 116 76 405 37 .
41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife,
405 280 76 120 70 643 . 70 91! 282 129 410 27 ,
if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart!
16 305 75 ! 70 311 , 16 476 55 , 299 !
There is no bond that can unite the divided but love:
610 70 120 126 410 71 80 405 43 17 111 :
all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the aeons! Hell.
61 100 70 1 291 . 316 ! 316 7 19 79 405 186 ! 70 .
42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing.
44 19 7 410 84 76 250 132 55 564 .
So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
130 416 410 61 ; 476 75 120 227 17 79 74 410 76 .
43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
74 410 , 55 120 675 361 71 61 .
44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from
276 291 76 , 196 76 501 , 269 316
the lust of result, is every way perfect.
405 105 76 310 , 70 226 17 325 .
45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two;
405 325 55 405 325 206 125 325 55 129 85 ;
nay, are none!
61 , 206 175 !
46. Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews
583 70 1 299 35 76 470 37 . 294 405 81
call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen.
81 19; 10 81 19 32 , 42 , 282 274 & 92 .
47. But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.
17 415 17 405 42 : 80 12 465 210 130 410 61 441 .
48. My prophet is a fool with his one, one, one; are not they the Ox ,
50 449 70 1 176 416 75 125, 125, 125; 206 129 415 405 150,
and none by the Book?
55 175 12 405 192 ?
49. Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs.
291 206 61 316 , 61 370 , 61 340 55 183 .
Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the
596 406 85 75 75 60 405 75 10 405
Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa,
321 76 405 137 ; 55 44 262 7 416 71 ,
who also are one. But they are not of me.
81 161 206 125. 17 415 206 129 76 45.
Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his
44 262 7 405 335 , 71 405 488 ; 345 60 75
secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating.
299 96 55 485 70 405 304 162 .
50. There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold!
610 70 1 280 79 71 88 405 465 90 . 116 !
there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given
610 206 610 370 60 125, 55 19 51 7 74
in three ways. The gross must pass through fire;
60 610 77 . 405 393 115 201 684 221 ;
let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen
44 405 71 7 228 60 168 55 405 125 193
ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star,
185 60 405 97 . 465 15 17 270 & 270 ,
system & system; let not one know well the other!
184 & 184 ; 44 129 125 146 71 405 675 !
51. There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace
610 206 282 78 79 125 177 ; 405 376 76 410 177
is of silver and gold; lapis lazuli & jasper are there;
70 76 311 55 107 ; 181 84 & 356 206 610 ;
and all rare scents; jasmine & rose, and the emblems of death.
55 61 406 244 ; 176 & 335 , 55 405 182 76 410 .
Let him enter in turn or at once the four gates; let him stand
44 55 269 60 265 270 10 185 405 282 78 ; 44 55 124
on the floor of the palace. Will he not sink? Amn. Ho! warrior,
120 405 376 76 405 177 . 76 15 129 140 ? 91 . 75! 687 ,
if thy servant sink? But there are means and means.
16 410 331 140 ? 17 610 206 156 55 156 .
Be goodly therefore: dress ye all in fine apparel;
7 187 891 : 329 15 61 60 71 397 ;
eat rich foods and drink sweet wines and wines that foam!
15 218 210 55 284 85 131 55 131 410 117 !
Also, take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where
161 , 35 286 76 55 76 76 111 61 15 76 , 66 , 221
and with whom ye will! But always unto me.
55 416 121 15 76 ! 17 108 135 45.
52. If this be not aright; if ye confound the space-marks, saying:
16 470 17 129 228 ; 16 15 276 405 527 , 134 :
They are one; or saying, They are many;
415 206 129; 270 134 , 415 206 101 ;
if the ritual be not ever unto me: then expect the direful
16 405 256 7 129 216 135 45: 455 199 405 261
judgements of Ra Hoor Khuit!
208 76 201 345 50 !
53. This shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister,
470 361 483 405 310 , 405 93 310 50 344 ,
my heart & my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss.
50 220 & 50 143 , 135 121 10 119 470 150 .
Also, o scribe and prophet, though thou be of the princes,
161 , 70 297 55 449 , 484 476 7 76 405 465 ,
it shall not assuage thee nor absolve thee.
19 361 129 136 410 320 174 410 .
But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me!
17 165 7 465 55 90 76 606 : 216 79 45! 79 45!
54. Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou,
67 129 61 58 61 405 114 76 1 258 ; 276 116 ! 476 ,
o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein.
70 449 , 340 129 116 61 470 399 78 670.
55. The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them.
405 52 76 410 172 , 15 361 116 445 .
56. Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for from no
199 55 129 316 405 75 , 320 316 405 76 ; 276 316 120
expected house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred
208 146 535 410 52 . 47 ! 61 340 206 290
and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little;
55 61 530 220 ; 72 160 410 415 389 1 93 ;
solve the first half of the equation, leave the second unattacked.
171 405 285 42 76 405 251 , 47 405 209 125 .
But thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though not all,
17 476 75 61 60 405 256 57 55 175 484 129 61
in the dark.
60 40 225 .
57. Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will.
161 45 265 50 330 ! 111 60 405 37 , 111 265 76 .
Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love.
320 44 405 236 145 111 ; 276 610 211 111 55 111 .
There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well!
610 70 405 85 , 55 610 70 405 409 . 213 15 71 !
He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress,
15, 50 449 , 406 193 , 209 405 37 76 405 610 ,
and the great mystery of the House of God. All these old letters
55 405 218 334 76 405 146 76 77 . 61 470 104 318
of my Book are aright; but (Tzaddi) is not the Star. This also
76 50 162 206 228 ; 17 90 70 129 405 270 . 470 161
is secret; my prophet shall reveal it to the wise.
70 299 ; 50 449 361 247 19 79 405 81 .
58. I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while
10 24 208 150 120 606 : 354 , 129 417 56
in life, upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy;
60 51 , 206 410 ; 151 323 , 274 , 165 ;
nor do I demand aught in sacrifice.
320 74 10 104 24 60 372 .
59. My incense is of resinous woods & gums; and there is no blood
50 240 70 76 461 210 & 109 ; 55 610 70 120 176
therein: because of my hair the trees of Eternity.
670 : 99 76 50 216 405 279 76 298 .
60. My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us.
50 303 70 11, 61 61 615 363 81 206 76 66.
The Five Pointed Star, with a Circle in the Middle, & the circle
405 27 228 270 , 416 1 325 60 405 93 , & 405 325
is Red. My colour is black to the blind, but the blue & gold are
70 209. 50 396 70 73 79 405 96 , 17 405 43 & 107 206
seen of the seeing. Also I have a secret glory for them that
120 76 405 133 . 161 10 17 1 299 313 276 445 410
love me.
111 45 .
61. But to love me is better than all things: if under the night stars
17 79 111 45 70 230 451 61 523 : 16 265 405 77 330
in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me,
60 405 283 476 449 332 105 240 288 45,
invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein,
219 45 416 1 291 220 , 55 405 409 82 670 ,
thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss wilt
476 340 131 1 93 79 45 60 50 242 . 276 125 150 55
thou then be willing to give all; but whoso gives one particle of
476 455 7 139 79 24 61 ; 17 211 84 125 355 76
dust shall lose all in that hour. Ye shall gather goods and store
79 361 165 61 60 410 281 . 15 361 609 207 55 344
of women and spices;
76 171 55 275 ;
ye shall wear rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of the earth
15 361 212 218 116 ; 15 361 159 405 250 76 405 606
in splendour & pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall
60 485 & 299 ; 17 108 60 405 111 76 45, 55 130 361
ye come to my joy. I charge you earnestly to come before me
15 135 79 50 90 . 10 217 86 370 79 135 288 45
in a single robe, and covered with a rich headdress.
60 1 158 277 , 55 310 416 1 218 344 .
I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous,
10 111 86 ! 10 266 79 86 ! 116 270 401 , 60 270 343 ,
I who am all pleasure and purple,
10 81 41 61 387 55 401 ,
and drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the
55 510 76 405 494 180 , 284 86. 95 120 405
wings , and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me!
129 , 55 342 405 139 485 476 86 : 135 135 45!
62. At all my meetings with you shall the priestess say --
10 61 50 182 416 86 361 405 489 71 --
and her eyes shall burn with desire as
55 210 80 361 258 416 284 61
she stands bare and rejoicing in my secret temple --
305 184 208 55 418 60 50 299 169 --
To me! To me! calling forth the flame of
79 45! 79 45! 144 676 405 82 76
the hearts of all in her love-chant.
405 301 76 61 60 210 179.
63. Sing the rapturous love-song unto me! Burn to me perfumes!
123 405 632 294 135 45! 258 79 45 402 !
Wear to me jewels! Drink to me, for I love you! I love you!
212 79 45 116 ! 284 79 45, 276 10 111 86 ! 10 111 86 !
64. I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked
10 41 405 100 232 76 190 ; 10 41 405 80
brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
398 76 405 343 167 .
65. To me! To me!
79 45! 79 45!
66. The Manifestation of Nuit is at an end.
405 321 76 75 60 10 51 59 .
1. Nu! the hiding of Hadit.
56! 405 82 76 29.
2. Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been
135 ! 61 15, 55 286 405 299 410 406 129 24 62
revealed. I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am not
256. 10, 29 , 41 405 349 76 56, 50 221 . 10 41 129
extended, and Khabs is the name of my House.
162, 55 88 70 405 96 76 50 146 .
3. In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the
60 405 355 10 41 447 405 329 , 61 305, 405
circumference, is nowhere found.
667, 70 341 136 .
4. Yet she shall be known & I never.
24 305 361 7 196 & 10 266 .
5. Behold! the rituals of the old time are black. Let the evil
116! 405 316 76 405 104 64 206 73. 45 405 51
ones be cast away; let the good ones be purged by the prophet!
185 7 90 18 ; 44 405 146 185 7 298 12 405 449 !
Then shall this Knowledge go aright.
455 361 470 193 73 228 .
6. I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the
10 41 405 82 410 318 60 226 220 76 91 , 55 60 405
core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet
295 76 226 270 . 10 41 51 , 55 405 224 76 51 , 24
therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death.
891 60 405 193 76 45 405 193 76 410 .
7. I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel,
10 41 405 175 55 405 494 . 10 41 405 116 76 405 51 ,
and the cube in the circle. "Come unto me" is a foolish word:
55 405 33 60 405 325 . "135 135 45" 70 1 486 280 :
for it is I that go.
276 19 70 10 410 76.
8. Who worshipped Heru-pa-kraath have worshipped me; ill, for I am
81 755 919 17 755 45; 70 , 276 10 41
the worshipper.
405 951 .
9. Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the
497 61 15 410 284 70 291 90 ; 410 61 405
sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is
666 206 17 61 441 ; 420 201 & 206 129 ; 17 610 70
that which remains.
410 29 366 .
10. O prophet! thou hast ill will to learn this writing.
70 449 ! 476 75 70 76 79 286 470 288 .
11. I see thee hate the hand & the pen; but I am stronger.
10 70 410 20 405 60 & 405 135: 17 10 41 597 .
12. Because of me in Thee which thou knewest not.
99 76 45 60 410 29 476 155 129.
13. for why? Because thou wast the knower, and me.
276 21 ? 99 476 76 405 351 , 55 45.
14. Now let there be a veiling of this shrine: now let the light
126 44 610 7 1 114 76 470 565 : 126 44 405 57
devour men and eat them up with blindness!
291 95 55 15 445 86 416 271 !
15. For I am perfect, being Not; and my number is nine by the
276 10 41 325 , 70 129: 55 50 303 70 115 12 405
fools; but with the just I am eight, and one in eight: Which is
236 ; 17 416 405 85 10 41 32 , 55 125 60 32 : 29 70
vital, for I am none indeed. The Empress and the King are not
56 ,276 10 41 125 78 . 405 450 55 405 83 206 129
of me; for there is a further secret.
76 45; 276 610 70 1 817 299 .
16. I am The Empress & the Hierophant. Thus eleven, as my bride is
10 41 405 450 & 405 435 . 466 101 , 61 50 221 70
eleven.
101 .
17. Hear me, ye people of sighing!
211 45, 15 270 76 141 !
The sorrows of pain and regret
405 666 76 141 55 422
Are left to the dead and the dying,
206 50 79 405 14 55 405 77 ,
The folk that not know me as yet.
405 126 410 129 146 45 61 24 .
18. These are dead, these fellows; they feel not. We are not for
470 215 14 , 610 207 ; 415 46 129. 11 206 129 276
the poor and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk.
405 420 55 65 : 405 364 76 405 606 206 276 266 .
19. Is a God to live in a dog? No! but the highest are of us. They
70 1 77 79 51 60 1 77 ? 120! 17 405 97 206 76 66. 415
shall rejoice, our chosen: who sorroweth is not of us.
361 360 , 276 193 : 81 1011 70 129 76 66.
20. Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor,
33 55 727 , 179 259 55 255 360
force and fire, are of us.
341 55 221 , 206 76 66.
21. We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in
11 17 583 416 405 175 55 405 81 : 44 445 19 60
their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of
615 325 . 276 415 46 129. 461 70 415 81 76
kings: stamp down the wretched & the weak: this is the law of
143 : 190 130 405 237 & 405 32 : 470 70 405 37 76
the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world. Think
405 392 : 470 60 276 37 55 405 90 76 405 310 . 480
not, o king, upon that lie: That Thou Must Die: verily thou
129, 70 83 , 206 410 45 : 410 476 115 17 : 261 476
shalt not die, but live. Now let it be understood: If the body
340 129 17 , 17 51 . 126 44 19 7 478 : 16 405 86
of the King dissolve, he shall remain in pure ecstasy for ever.
76 405 83 245 , 10 361 306 60 291 165 276 216 .
Nuit! Hadit! Ra-Hoor-Khuit! The Sun, Strength & Sight, Light;
75 ! 29 ! 596 ! 405 126, 727 & 87 , 57 ;
these are for the servants of the Star & the Snake.
470 206 276 405 391 76 405 270 & 405 136 .
22. I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge & Delight and bright
10 41 405 136 410 424 193 & 66 55 229
glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship
313 , 55 279 405 280 76 95 416 510 . 79 666
me take wine and strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet,
45 35 71 55 328 273 297 10 76 74 50 449 ,
& be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie,
& 7 280 686 ! 415 361 129 246 15 10 61 . 19 70 1 45 ,
this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be
470 146 134 101 . 405 506 76 360 70 1 45 . 7
strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture:
392 , 70 91! 105 , 145 61 523 76 180 55 501 :
fear not that any God shall deny thee for this.
212 129 410 61 77 361 69 410 376 470 .
23. I am alone: there is no God where I am.
10 41 156 : 610 70 129 77 221 10 41.
24. Behold! these be grave mysteries; for there are also of my
116 ! 470 7 215 399 ; 276 610 206 161 76 50
friends who be hermits. Now think not to find them in the
335 81 7 329 . 126 480 129 79 70 445 60 405
forest or on the mountain; but in beds of purple, caressed by
350 270 120 405 236 ; 17 60 71 76 401 , 355 12
magnificent beasts of women with large limbs, and fire and
244 137 76 171 416 239 142 , 55 221 55
light in their eyes, and masses of flaming hair about them;
57 60 615 80 , 55 226 76 140 216 88 445 ;
there shall ye find them. Ye shall see them at rule, at
610 361 15 70 445 . 15 361 70 445 19 241 , 10
victorious armies, at all the joy; and there shall be in them a
461 316 , 19 61 405 90 ; 55 610 361 7 60 445 1
joy a million times greater than this. Beware lest any force
90 1 240 124 423 451 470 . 219 104 61 341
another, King against King! Love one another with burning
726 , 83 134 83 ! 101 125 726 416 321
hearts; on the low men trample in the fierce lust of your
280 ; 120 405 106 95 365 60 405 286 105 76 286
pride, in the day of your wrath.
299 , 60 405 15 76 286 607 .
25. Ye are against the people, O my chosen!
15 206 134 405 270 , 70 50 193 !
26. I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling
10 41 405 299 409 139 88 79 403 : 60 50 193
there is joy. If I lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one. If I
610 70 90 . 16 10 55 86 50 15 , 10 55 50 76 206 125. 16 10
droop down mine head, and shoot forth venom, then is rapture of
424 130 105 15 , 55 449 676 171 , 455 70 501 76
the earth, and I and the earth are one.
405 606 , 55 10 55 405 606 206 125.
27. There is great danger in me; for who doth not understand these
610 70 218 263 60 45; 276 81 474 129 389 470
runes shall make a great miss. He shall fall down into the pit
321 361 66 1 218 170 . 10 361 67 130 139 405 99
called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of
90 99 , 55 610 10 361 595 416 405 137 76
Reason.
386 .
28. Now a curse upon Because and his kin!
126 1 291 206 99 55 75 80 !
29. May Because be accursed for ever!
51 99 7 316 276 216 !
30. If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops
16 76 279 55 295 21 , 219 99 , 455 76 279
& does nought.
& 139 143 .
31. If Power asks why, then is Power weakness.
16 361 141 21 , 455 70 361 207 .
32. Also reason is a lie; for there is a factor infinite & unknown;
161 386 70 1 45 ; 276 619 70 1 306 150 & 252 ;
& all their words are skew-wise.
& 61 615 340 206 172 .
33. Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog!
139 76 99 ! 7 10 104 276 1 77 !
34. But ye, o my people, rise up & awake!
17 15,70 50 270 , 275 86 & 33 !
35. Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy & beauty!
44 405 316 7 267 610 416 90 & 33 !
36. There are rituals of the elements and feasts of the times.
610 206 316 76 405 204 55 141 76 405 124 .
37. A feast for the first night of the Prophet and his Bride!
1 81 276 405 285 77 76 405 449 55 75 221 !
38. A feast for the three days of the writing of the Book of the
1 81 276 405 610 75 76 405 288 76 405 162 76 405
Law.
37 .
39. A feast for Tahuti and the child of the Prophet--secret, O
1 81 276 40 55 405 52 76 405 449 -- 299 , 70
Prophet!
449 !
40. A feast for the Supreme Ritual, and a feast for the Equinox of
1 81 276 405 396 256 , 55 1 81 276 405 321 76
the Gods.
405 137 .
41. A feast for fire and a feast for water; a feast for life and a
1 81 276 221 55 1 81 276 221 ; 1 81 276 51 55 1
greater feast for death!
423 81 276 410 !
42. A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture!
1 81 226 15 60 286 280 60 405 90 76 50 501 !
43. A feast every night unto Nu, and the pleasure of uttermost
1 81 226 77 135 56, 55 405 387 76 408
delight!
66 !
44. Aye! feast! rejoice! there is no dread hereafter. There is the
16 ! 81 ! 360 ! 610 70 120 214 436 . 610 70 405
dissolution, and eternal ecstasy in the kisses of Nu.
379 , 55 300 165 60 405 215 76 56.
45. There is death for the dogs.
610 70 410 276 405 137 .
46. Dost thou fail? Art thou sorry? Is fear in thine heart?
143 476 47 ? 210 476 540 ? 70 212 60 465 220 ?
47. Where I am these are not.
221 10 41 470 206 129.
48. Pity not the fallen! I never knew them. I am not for them. I
109 129 405 122 ! 10 266 81 445 . 10 41 129 276 445 . 10
console not: I hate the consoled & the consoler.
305 129:10 20 405 309 & 405 505 .
49. I am unique & conqueror. I am not of the slaves that perish. Be
10 41 177 & 721 . 10 41 129 76 405 162 410 595 . 7
they damned & dead! Amen. (This is of the 4: there is a fifth
415 104 & 14 ! 96 . (470 70 76 405 4: 610 70 1 422
who is invisible, & therein am I as a babe in an egg.)
81 70 183 , & 670 41 10 61 1 10 60 51 11 .)
50. Blue am I and gold in the light of my bride: but the red gleam
43 41 10 55 107 60 405 57 76 50 221 : 17 405 209 79
is in my eyes; & my spangles are purple & green.
70 60 50 80 ; & 50 289 206 401 & 263 .
51. Purple beyond purple: it is the light higher than eyesight.
401 131 401 :19 70 405 57 228 451 107 .
52. There is a veil: that veil is black. It is the veil of the
610 70 1 51 : 410 51 70 73 . 19 70 405 51 76 405
modest woman; it is the veil of sorrow, & the pall of death:
188 167 : 19 70 405 51 76 606 , & 405 141 76 410 :
this is none of me. Tear down that lying spectre of the
470 70 175 76 45. 215 130 410 103 379 76 405
centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices
405 : 51 129 286 141 60 367 340 : 470 141
are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and
206 50 346 ; 15 74 71 , & 10 76 416 86 215 55
hereafter.
436 .
53. Fear not, o prophet, when these words are said, thou shalt not
212 129,70 449 , 66 470 340 206 75 , 476 340 129
be sorry. Thou art emphatically my chosen; and blessed are the
7 540 . 476 210 241 50 193 ; 55 166 206 405
eyes that thou shalt look upon with gladness. But I will hide
80 410 476 340 190 206 416 213 . 17 10 76 24
thee in a mask of sorrow: they that see thee shall fear thou
410 60 1 121 76 606 : 415 410 70 410 361 212 476
art fallen: but I lift thee up.
210 122 : 17 10 55 410 86.
54. Nor shall they who cry aloud their folly that thou meanest
320 361 415 81 230 111 615 146 410 476 170
nought avail; thou shall reveal it: thou availest: they are the
143 48 ; 476 361 247 19: 476 122 : 415 206 405
slaves of because: They are not of me. The stops as thou wilt;
162 76 99 : 415 206 129 76 45. 405 279 61 476 55 ;
the letters? change them not in style or value!
405 318 ? 67 445 129 60 114 270 48 !
55. Thou shalt obtain the order & value of the English Alphabet;
476 340 142 405 479 & 48 76 405 398 133 ;
thou shalt find new symbols to attribute them unto.
476 340 70 61 272 79 251 445 135 .
56. Begone! ye mockers; even though ye laugh in my honour ye shall
135 ! 15 415 ; 66 484 15 45 60 50 401 15 361
laugh not long: then when ye are sad know that I have forsaken
45 129 153 : 455 66 15 206 65 146 410 10 17 412
you.
86 .
57. He that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is
10 410 70 368 361 7 368 139 ; 10 410 70
filthy shall be filthy still.
456 361 7 456 139 .
58. Yea! deem not of change: ye shall be as ye are, & not other.
16 ! 54 129 76 67 : 15 361 7 61 15 206, & 129 675 .
Therefore the kings of the earth shall be Kings for ever: the
891 405 143 76 405 606 361 7 143 276 216 : 405
slaves shall serve. There is none that shall be cast down or
162 361 276 . 610 70 175 410 361 7 90 130 270
lifted up: all is ever as it was. Yet there are masked ones my
64 86: 61 70 216 61 19 67 . 24 610 206 130 185 50
servants: it may be that yonder beggar is a King. A King may
391 : 19 51 7 410 339 214 70 1 83 . 1 83 51
choose his garment as he will: there is no certain test: but a
213 75 308 61 10 76 : 610 70 120 335 83 : 17 1
beggar cannot hide his poverty.
214 200 24 75 380 .
59. Beware therefore! Love all, lest perchance is a King concealed!
219 891 ! 111 61 , 104 409 70 1 83 245 !
Say you so? Fool! If he be a King, thou canst not hurt him.
71 86 130? 176! 16 10 7 1 83 , 476 140 129 220 55 .
60. Therefore strike hard & low, and to hell with them, master!
891 304 210 & 106, 55 79 70 416 445 , 315 !
61. There is a light before thine eyes, o prophet, a light
610 70 1 57 288 465 80 ' 70 449 , 1 57
undesired, most desirable.
344 , 179 317 .
62. I am uplifted in thine heart; and the kisses of the stars rain
10 41 150 60 465 220 ; 55 405 215 76 405 330 261
hard upon thy body.
210 206 410 86 .
63. Thou art exhaust in the voluptuous fullness of the inspiration;
476 210 166 60 405 343 247 76 405 550 ;
the expiration is sweeter than death, more rapid and
405 515 70 290 451 410 , 315 295 55
laughterful than a caress of Hell's own worm.
301 451 1 346 76 130 126 316 .
64. Oh! thou art overcome: we are upon thee; our delight is all
75! 476 210 416 : 11 206 206 410 ; 276 66 70 61
over thee: hail! hail: prophet of Nu! prophet of Had! prophet
281 410 : 46 ! 46 : 449 76 56! 449 76 10 ! 449
of Ra-Hoor-Khu! Now rejoice! now come in our splendour &
76 577 ! 126 360 ! 126 135 60 276 485 &
rapture! Come in our passionate peace, & write sweet words for
501 ! 135 60 276 346 151 , & 230 85 340 276
the Kings.
405 143 .
65. I am the Master: thou art the Holy Chosen One.
10 41 405 315 : 476 210 405 115 193 125.
66. Write, & find ecstasy in writing! Work, & be our bed in
230 , & 70 165 60 288 ! 296 , & 7 276 11 60
working! Thrill with the joy of life & death! Ah! thy death
359 ! 670 416 405 90 76 51 & 410 ! 6 ! 410 410
shall be lovely: whoso seeth it shall be glad. Thy death shall
361 7 151 : 211 470 19 361 7 38 . 410 410 361
be the seal of the promise of our agelong love. Come! lift up
7 405 96 76 405 465 76 276 162 111 . 135 ! 55 86
thine heart & rejoice! We are one; we are none.
465 220 & 360 ! 11 206 125; 11 206 175 .
67. Hold! Hold! Bear up in thy rapture; fall not in swoon of the
109 ! 109 ! 208 86 60 410 501; 67 129 60 256 76 405
excellent kisses!
274 215 !
68. Harder! Hold up thyself! Lift thine head! breathe not so deep
415 ! 109 86 511 ! 55 465 15 ! 613 129 130 94
-- die!
-- 19 !
69. Ah! Ah! What do I feel? Is the word exhausted?
6 ! 6 ! 21 74 10 46 ? 70 405 280 175 ?
70. There is help & hope in other spells. Wisdom says: be strong!
610 70 120 & 160 60 675 265 . 190 131 : 7 392 !
Then canst thou bear more joy. Be not animal; refine thy
455 140 476 210 315 90 . 7 129 132 ; 276 410
rapture! If thou drink, drink by the eight and ninety rules of
501 ! 16 476 284 , 284 12 405 32 55 134 301 76
art: if thou love, exceed by delicacy; and if thou do aught
210: 16 476 111 , 159 12 140 ; 55 16 476 74 24
joyous, let there be subtlety therein!
226 , 44 610 7 131 670 !
71. But exceed! exceed!
17 159 ! 159 !
72. Strive ever to more! and if thou art truly mine -- and doubt it
290 216 79 315 ! 55 16 476 219 255 105 -- 55 91 19
not, an if thou art ever joyous! -- death is the crown of all.
129, 51 16 476 210 216 226 ! -- 410 70 405 346 76 61 .
73. Ah! Ah! Death! Death! thou shalt long for death. Death is
6 ! 6 ! 410 ! 410 ! 476 340 153 276 410 . 410 70
forbidden, o man, unto thee.
351 , 70 91, 135 410 .
74. The length of thy longing shall be the strength of its glory.
405 488 76 410 216 361 7 405 727 76 79 313 .
He that lives long & desires death much is ever the King among
10 410 111 153 & 344 410 54 70 216 405 83 164
the Kings.
405 143 .
75. Aye! listen to the numbers & the words:
16 ! 164 79 405 363 & 405 340 :
76. 4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L. What
4 6 3 8 . 21
meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know
501 479 , 70 449 ? 476 220 129; 320 340 476 146
ever. There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it. But
216 . 610 535 125 79 212 410 : 10 361 295 19. 17
remember, o chosen one, to be me; to follow the love of Nu in
497 ,70 193 125, 79 7 45; 79 212 405 111 76 56 60
the star-lit heaven; to look forth upon men, to tell them this
405 319 72 ; 79 190 676 206 95 , 79 74 445 470
glad word.
38 280 .
77. O be thou proud and mighty among men!
70 7 476 360 55 77 164 95 !
78. Lift up thyself! for there is none like unto thee among men or
55 86 511 ! 276 610 70 175 65 135 410 164 95 270
among Gods! Lift up thyself, o my prophet, thy stature shall
164 137 ! 55 86 511 , 70 50 449 , 410 290 361
surpass the stars. They shall worship thy name, foursquare,
467 405 330 . 415 361 666 410 96 , 654 ,
mystic, wonderful, the number of the man; and the name of thy
149 , 377 , 405 303 76 405 91 ; 55 405 96 76 410
house 418.
146 418.
79. The end of the hiding of Hadit; and blessing & worship to the
405 59 76 405 82 76 29 ; 55 220 & 666 79 405
prophet of the lovely Star!
449 76 405 151 270 !
1. Abrahadabra; the reward of Ra Hoor Khut.
418 ; 405 416 76 201 345 40 .
2. There is division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling
610 70 220 620 331 ; 610 70 1 280 129 196 . 268
is defunct; all is not aught. Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of
70 100 ; 61 70 129 24 . 219 ! 109 ! 276 405 205 76
Ra-Hoor-Khuit!
596 !
3. Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance.
126 44 19 7 285 478 410 10 41 1 77 76 207 55 76 185 .
I shall deal hardly with them.
10 361 40 250 416 445 .
4. Choose ye an island!
213 15 51 155 !
5. Fortify it!
311 19!
6. Dung it about with enginery of war!
63 19 88 416 333 76 207!
7. I will give you a war-engine.
10 76 24 86 1 330 .
8. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you.
416 19 15 361 124 405 330 ; 55 175 361 124 288 86 .
9. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this is the Law of the Battle of Conquest:
256 ! 627 ! 206 445 ! 470 70 405 37 76 405 56 76 320 :
thus shall my worship be about my secret house.
466 361 50 666 7 88 50 299 146 .
10. Get the stele of revealing itself; set it in thy secret temple -- and
17 405 109 76 310 120 ; 74 19 60 410 299 169 -- 55
that temple is already aright disposed -- & it shall be your Kiblah
410 169 70 251 228 293 -- & 19 361 7 286 68
for ever. It shall not fade, but miraculous colour shall come back to
276 216 . 19 361 129 16 , 17 443 396 361 135 43 79
it day after day. Close it in locked glass for a proof to the world.
19 15 221 15 . 185 19 60 149 154 276 1 426 79 405 310 .
11. This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument. Conquer! That is
470 361 7 286 160 426 . 10 292 314 . 451 ! 410 70
enough. I will make easy to you the abstruction from the ill-ordered
139 . 10 76 66 76 79 86 405 437 316 405 558
house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt thyself convey it with
146 60 405 461 89 . 476 340 511 161 19 416
worship, o prophet, though thou likest it not. Thou shalt have danger
666 , 70 449 , 484 476 134 19 129. 476 340 17 263
& trouble. Ra-Hoor-Khu is with thee. Worship me with fire & blood;
& 322 . 577 70 416 410 . 666 45 416 221 & 176 ;
worship me with swords & with spears. Let the woman be girt with a
666 45 416 400 & 416 406 . 44 405 167 7 222 417 1
sword before me: let blood flow to my name. Trample down the Heathen;
340 288 45: 44 177 112 79 50 96 . 365 130 405 466 ;
be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!
7 206 445 , 70 687 , 10 76 23 86 76 615 341 79 15 !
12. Sacrifice cattle, little and big: after a child.
372 74 , 93 55 17 : 221 1 52 .
13. But not now.
17 129 126.
14. Ye shall see that hour, o blessed Beast, and thou the Scarlet
15 361 70 410 281 ,70 166 77 , 55 476 405 325
Concubine of his desire!
233 76 75 284 !
15. Ye shall be sad thereof.
15 361 7 65 686 .
16. Deem not too eagerly to catch the promises; fear not to undergo the
54 129 149 254 79 38 405 525 ; 212 129 79 338 405
curses. Ye, even ye, know not this meaning all.
351 . 15, 66 15, 146 129 470 159 61 .
17. Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything.
212 129 10 61 ; 212 670 95 320 81 , 320 137 , 320 524 .
Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power
175 212 129, 320 259 76 405 126 146 , 320 61 675 361
in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as
60 72 270 206 405 606 270 265 405 606 . 56 70 286 225 61
Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms.
29 286 57 ; 55 10 41 405 727 , 341 , 295 , 76 286 3 01 .
18. Mercy let be off; damn them who pity! Kill and torture; spare not; be
315 44 7 82 ; 95 445 81 109 ! 90 55 499 ; 346 129; 7
upon them!
206 445 !
19. That stele they shall call the Abomination of Desolation; count well
410 109 415 361 81 495 313 76 309 ; 155 71
its name, & it shall be to you as 718.
79 96 , & 19 361 7 79 86 61 718.
20. Why? Because of the fall of Because, that he is not there again.
21 ? 99 76 405 67 76 99 , 410 10 70 129 610 65 .
21. Set up my image in the East: thou shalt buy thee an image which I
74 86 50 59 60 405 75 : 476 340 18 410 51 59 29 10
will show thee, especial, not unlike the one thou knowest. And it
76 376 410 , 251 , 129 121 405 125 476 220 . 55 19
shall be suddenly easy for thee to do this.
361 7 169 76 276 410 79 74 470 .
22. The other images group around me to support me: let all be
405 675 119 359 331 45 79 505 45: 44 61 7
worshipped for they shall cluster to exalt me. I am the visible
755 276 415 361 330 79 125 45. 10 41 405 123
object of worship; the others are secret; for the Beast & his Bride
116 76 666 ; 405 735 206 299 ; 276 405 77 & 75 221
are they: and for the winners of the Ordeal x. What is this? Thou
206 415 : 55 276 405 381 76 405 310 80. 21 70 470 ? 476
shalt know.
340 146 .
23. For perfume mix meal & honey & thick leavings of red wine: then oil
276 342 130 76 & 140 & 450 165 76 209 71 : 455 110
of Abramelin and olive oil, and afterward soften & smooth down with
76 339 55 121 110, 55 432 200 640 130 416
rich fresh blood.
218 511 176 .
24. The best blood is of the moon, monthly: then the fresh blood of a
405 76 176 70 76 405 230 , 600 : 455 405 511 176 76 1
child, or dropping from the host of heaven: then of enemies; then of
52 ,270 497 316 405 144 76 72 : 455 76 175 ; 455 76
the priest or of the worshippers: last of some beast, no matter what.
405 364 270 76 405 1011 : 100 76 175 77 ,120 264 21 .
25. This burn: of this make cakes & eat unto me. This hath also another
470 258 : 76 470 66 106 & 15 135 45. 470 406 161 726
use; let it be laid before me, and kept thick with perfumes of your
71 ; 44 19 7 45 288 45, 55 114 450 416 402 76 286
orison: it shall become full of beetles as it were and creeping
460 : 19 351 142 72 76 116 61 19 216 55 373
things sacred unto me.
523 290 135 45.
26. These slay, naming your enemies; & they shall fall before you.
470 101 , 154 286 175 ; & 415 361 67 288 86 .
27. Also these shall breed lust & power of lust in you at the eating
161 470 361 216 105 & 361 76 105 60 86 10 405 78
thereof.
686 .
28. Also ye shall be strong in war.
161 15 361 7 392 60 207.
29. Moreover, be they long kept, it is better; for they swell with my
596 , 7 415 153 114 , 19 70 230 ; 276 415 131 416 50
force. All before me.
341 . 61 288 45.
30. My altar is of open brass work: burn thereon in silver or gold!
50 241 70 76 205 323 296 : 258 670 60 311 270 107 !
31. There cometh a rich man from the West who shall pour his gold upon
610 535 1 218 91 316 405 80 81 361 356 75 107 206
thee.
410 .
32. From gold forge steel!
316 107 284 109 !
33. Be ready to fly or to smite!
7 220 79 46 270 79 124 !
34. But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries:
17 286 115 176 361 7 158 769 405 405 :
though with fire and sword it be burnt down & shattered, yet an
484 416 221 55 340 19 7 267 130 & 533 , 24 51
invisible house there standeth, and shall stand until the fall of
183 146 610 529 , 55 361 124 105 405 67 76
the Great Equinox; when Hrumachis shall arise and the double-wanded
405 218 321 ; 66 330 361 276 55 405 187
one assume my throne and place. Another prophet shall arise, and
125 172 50 725 55 176 . 726 449 361 276 , 55
bring fresh fever from the skies; another woman shall awake the lust
265 511 222 316 405 155 ; 726 167 361 33 405 105
& worship of the Snake; another soul of God and beast shall mingle
& 666 76 405 136 ; 726 166 76 77 55 77 361 138
in the globed priest; another sacrifice shall stain the tomb; another
60 405 114 364 ; 726 372 361 130 405 121 ; 726
king shall reign; and blessing no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed
83 361 268 ; 55 220 120 358 7 365 79 405 66
mystical Lord!
180 304 !
35. The half of the word of Heru-ra-ha, called Hoor-pa-kraat and
405 42 76 405 280 76 423 , 90 858 55
Ra-Hoor-Khut.
586 .
36. Then said the prophet unto the God:
455 75 405 449 135 405 77 :
37. I adore thee in the song --
10 280 410 60 405 183 --
I am the Lord of Thebes, and I
10 41 405 304 76 472 , 55 10
The inspired forth-speaker of Mentu;
405 419 1047 76 110 ;
For me unveils the veiled sky,
276 45 167 405 60 90 ,
The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu
405 252 345
Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greet
146 340 206 615 . 10 161 , 10 222
Thy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit!
410 465 , 70 596
Unity uttermost showed!
85 408 385 !
I adore the might of Thy breath,
10 280 405 67 76 410 608 ,
Supreme and terrible God,
396 55 461 77 ,
Who makest the gods and death
81 135 405 137 55 410
To tremble before Thee: --
79 291 288 410 : --
I, I adore thee!
10,10 280 410 !
Appear on the throne of Ra!
367 120 405 725 76 201!
Open the ways of the Khu!
205 405 77 76 405 31 !
Lighten the ways of the Ka!
112 405 77 76 405 21!
The ways of the Khabs run through
405 77 76 405 88 256 684
To stir me or still me!
79 279 45 270 139 45!
Aum! let it fill me!
47 ! 44 19 76 45!
38. So that thy light is in me; & its red flame is as a sword in my hand
130 410 410 57 70 60 45; & 79 205 82 70 61 1 340 60 50 60
to push thy order. There is a secret door that I shall make to
79 386 410 479 . 610 70 1 299 344 410 10 361 66 79
establish thy way in all the quarters, (these are the adorations, as
417 410 17 60 61 405 581 , (470 206 405 475 , 61
thou hast written), as it is said:
476 75 289 ), 61 19 70 75 :
The light is mine; its rays consume
405 57 70 105 ; 79 271 251
Me: I have made a secret door
45: 10 17 50 1 299 344
Into the House of Ra and Tum,
139 405 146 76 201 55 55 ,
Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
76 316 55 76 747 .
I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
10 41 410 458 ,70 110 ,
The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
405 449 345 !
By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat;
12 174 50 277 10 17 ;
By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell.
12 81 73 10 23 50 205 .
Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit!
376 410 755 ,70 75 !
Bid me within thine House to dwell,
16 45 476 465 146 79 75 ,
O winged snake of light, Hadit!
70 78 136 76 57 , 29 !
Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit!
22 416 45, 596 !
39. All this and a book to say how thou didst come hither and a
61 470 55 1 162 79 71 81 476 87 135 620 55 1
reproduction of this ink and paper for ever -- for in it is the word
724 76 470 80 55 366 276 216 -- 276 60 19 70 405 280
secret & not only in the English -- and thy comment upon this the
299 & 129 160 60 405 398 -- 55 410 234 206 470 405
Book of the Law shall be printed beautifully in red ink and black
162 76 405 37 361 7 358 115 60 205 80 55 73
upon beautiful paper made by hand; and to each man and woman that
206 75 366 50 12 60 ; 55 79 14 91 55 167 410
thou meetest, were it but to dine or to drink at them, it is the Law
476 133 , 216 19 17 79 69 270 79 284 10 445 , 19 70 405 37
to give. Then they shall chance to abide in this bliss or no; it is
79 24 . 455 415 361 124 79 22 60 470 162 270 120;19 70
no odds. Do this quickly!
120 138 . 74 470 196 !
40. But the work of the comment? That is easy; and Hadit burning in thy
17 405 296 76 405 234 ? 410 70 76 ; 55 29 321 60 410
heart shall make swift and secure thy pen.
220 361 66 91 55 296 410 135.
41. Establish at thy Kaaba a clerk-house: all must be done well and with
417 10 410 25 1 421 : 61 115 7 129 71 55 416
business way.
253 17 .
42. The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones.
405 370 476 349 351 511 , 72 160 405 96 185 .
Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am
282 175 , 17 476 340 146 & 358 405 559 .10 41
Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is
596; 55 10 41 403 79 393 50 331 . 271 70
thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not overmuch! Them that
410 426 : 215 129; 360 129; 60 129 335 ! 445 410
seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or
90 79 345 410 , 79 957 410 , 445 60 501 100 270
quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and
521 ; & 358 445 269 . 91 61 1 342 409 265 55
strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful
304 ! 7 476 24 259 451 10! 208 130 615 226 79 49
torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon them!
383 : 45 10 615 212 : 159 206 445 !
43. Let the Scarlet Woman beware! If pity and compassion and tenderness
44 405 325 167 219 ! 16 109 55 461 55 448
visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with old sweetnesses;
95 210 220 ; 16 305 47 50 296 79 89 416 104 325 ;
then shall my vengeance be known. I will slay me her child: I will
455 361 50 185 7 196 .10 76 101 45 210 52 :10 76
alienate her heart: I will cast her out from men: as a shrinking and
111 210 220 : 10 76 90 210 85 316 95 : 61 1 643 55
despised harlot shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and die
228 315 361 305 257 684 90 21 348 , 55 19
cold and an-hungered.
124 55 329 .
44. But let her raise herself in pride! Let her follow me in my way! Let
17 44 210 276 311 60 299 ! 44 210 212 45 60 50 17 ! 44
her work the work of wickedness! Let her kill her heart! Let her be
210 296 405 296 76 240 ! 44 210 90 210 220 ! 44 210 7
loud and adulterous! Let her be covered with jewels, and rich
110 55 391 ! 44 210 7 310 416 116 , 55 218
garments, and let her be shameless before all men!
368 , 55 44 210 7 501 288 61 95 !
45. Then will I lift her to pinnacles of power: then will I breed from
455 76 10 55 210 70 306 76 361 : 455 76 10 216 316
her a child mightier than all the kings of the earth. I will fill
210 1 52 282 451 61 405 143 76 405 606 . 10 76 76
her with joy: with my force shall she see & strike at the worship of
210 416 90 : 416 50 341 361 305 70 & 304 10 405 666 76
Nu: she shall achieve Hadit.
56: 305 361 35 29 .
46. I am the warrior Lord of the Forties: the Eighties cower before me,
10 41 405 687 304 76 405 360 : 405 107 301 288 45,
& are abased. I will bring you to victory & joy: I will be at your
& 206 73 .10 76 265 86 79 325 & 90 :10 76 7 10 286
arms in battle & ye shall delight to slay. Success is your proof;
301 60 56 & 15 361 66 79 101 . 271 70 286 426 ;
courage is your armour; go on, go on, in my strength; & ye shall
305 70 286 517 ; 73 120, 73 120, 60 50 727 ; & 15 361
turn not back for any!
265 129 43 276 61 !
47. This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the
470 162 361 7 369 139 61 203 : 17 108 416 405
original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the
374 60 405 288 76 405 77 ; 276 60 405 67 386 76 405
letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries
318 55 615 359 79 125 726 : 60 470 206 399
that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh
410 120 77 361 85 . 44 55 129 90 79 219: 17 125 535
after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all.
221 55 , 131 10 71 129, 81 361 375 405 35 76 19 61 .
Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure
455 470 95 261 70 1 35 : 455 470 325 376 60 79 258
is a key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child & that strangely.
70 1 35 161 . 55 418 . 19 361 7 75 52 & 410 368 .
Let him not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it.
44 45 129 90 221 470 ; 276 622 156 71 10 67 316 19.
48. Now this mystery of the letters is done, and I want to go on to the
126 470 334 76 405 318 70 129 , 55 10 66 79 73 120 79 405
holier place.
320 176 .
49. I am in a secret fourfold word, the blasphemy against all gods of men.
10 41 60 1 299 392 280 , 405 233 134 61 137 76 95 .
50. Curse them! Curse them! Curse them!
291 445 ! 291 445 ! 291 445 !
51. With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the
416 50 92 15 10 125 10 405 80 76 141 61 10 119 206 405
cross.
410 .
52. I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed & blind him.
10 117 50 129 60 405 72 76 205 & 96 55 .
53. With my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist,
416 50 117 10 215 85 405 341 76 405 125 55 405 100 ,
Mongol and Din.
263 55 64 .
54. Bahlasti! Ompehda! I spit on your crapulous creeds.
118 ! 205 !10 159 120 286 473 294 .
55. Let Mary inviolate be torn upon wheels: for her sake let all chaste
44 251 191 7 329 206 111 : 276 210 86 44 61 83
women be utterly despised among you!
171 7 269 228 164 86 !
56. Also for beauty's sake and love's!
161 276 93 86 55 171 !
57. Despise also all cowards; professional soldiers who dare not fight,
224 161 61 361 ; 642 439 81 210 129 33 ,
but play; all fools despise!
17 121 ; 61 236 224 !
58. But the keen and the proud, the royal and the lofty; ye are brothers!
17 405 80 55 405 360 , 405 311 55 405 125 ; 15 206 937 !
59. As brothers fight ye!
61 937 33 15!
60. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
610 70 120 37 131 74 21 476 55 .
61. There is an end of the word of the God enthroned in Ra's seat,
610 70 51 59 76 405 280 76 405 77 784 60 261 75 ,
lightening the girders of the soul.
175 405 482 76 405 166 .
62. To Me do ye reverence! to me come ye through tribulation of ordeal,
79 45 74 15 536 ! 79 45 135 15 684 397 76 310 ,
which is bliss.
29 70 162 .
63. The fool readeth this Book of the Law, and its comment; & he
405 176 615 470 162 76 405 37 , 55 79 234 ; & 10
understandeth it not.
794 19 129.
64. Let him come through the first ordeal, & it will be to him as silver.
44 55 135 684 405 285 310 , & 19 76 7 79 55 61 311 .
65. Through the second, gold.
684 405 209 , 107 .
66. Through the third, stones of precious water.
684 405 614 , 254 76 491 221 .
67. Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the intimate fire.
684 405 682 , 110 421 76 405 134 221 .
68. Yet to all it shall seem beautiful. Its enemies who say not so, are
24 79 61 19 361 110 75 . 79 175 81 71 129 130, 206
mere liars.
250 301 .
69. There is success.
610 70 271 .
70. I am the Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence & of Strength; my nemyss shrouds
10 41 405 56 304 76 220 & 76 727 ; 50 225 640
the night-blue sky.
405 120 90 .
71. Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time
46 ! 15 75 747 88 405 411 76 405 310 ! 276 286 64
is nigh at hand.
70 68 10 60 .
72. I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of
10 41 405 304 76 405 117 61 76 361 ; 405 61 76 405 341 76
Coph Nia -- but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe;
175 61 -- 17 50 50 60 70 144 ,276 10 17 535 51 342 ;
& nought remains.
& 143 366 .
73. Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to bottom: then
155 405 379 316 227 79 50 55 316 159 79 200 : 455
behold!
116 !
74. There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of
610 70 1 485 60 50 96 78 55 449 , 61 405 116 76
midnight is ever the son.
121 70 216 405 180.
75. The ending of the words is the Word Abrahadabra.
405 122 76 405 340 70 405 280 418 .
The Book of the Law is Written
405 162 76 405 37 70 289
and Concealed.
55 245 .
Aum. Ha.
47 . 6 .
