AION: A Valentinian Exposition





Theatre of the Abyss : The Book of Hekt - Liber 81

Back to : Temple of the Abyss   |   Introduction

Who hath borne the Light from out of the Darkness of Eternity? Who hath raised the fire of Spirit from the Deeps and brought forth, self to self, our Mother, our guide, three formed, three headed, thrice named, HEKATE, HEKATE, HEKATE .

So the Moon hath waned to Dark and the Night is close about thee. Let Sons of Men cower about the fires of your civilization! For She rideth on the Night and the howling winds thereof, the First and Last, the ALL and the bearer thereof. Daughter of Herself, unbound, unbegotten, unknown, Her name a blessing and a curse.

Awaken, awake, child of Earth, the Night cometh.
You who walk the Moon Roads, what do you seek?
You who pray unto the Heavens, to whom do you pray?

Night has come like a thief and caught thee unaware; behold She standeth forth against everything that is within the four-square universe, for she is the light of the being of all things and thus the instrument and Word of their destruction.

The Prophet of the First, the Fire within, consumed by the All-One, Great NYX, hear my call and cast not thy eyes from me! I call by thy most secret Name:

NYX-******
NYX-******
NYX-******

[Invokation]
In bright Moon and howling wind,
by spilt blood and sea of Night,
by baying wolf and shrieking shrike!

I call and say
To Thee, to Thee, All, to Thee.

Let the Universe tremble
And Darkness descend upon the world,
As a hunter upon the prey

Queen of Demons, Mother of Atrocities,
opener of the Gate of Hell!
To me, to me, for I am purified and made worthy,
my spirit is hardened against the World
and love hath fled, as fire doth die,
in a cold grave of embers.

So it is spoken, and thus written and I, even I, kneel before thy presence and offer to Thee, blood of my blood, unto thee as is thy due. Mother, Night, HEKATE, grant to me the vision, grant unto me the Word. Open the Gates to the Spheres and that of the Underworld, reveal to me the spell by which the guardians thereof are bound. For I am the child come from out of the Fire, the child of thy Force, send forth to me as the breath of KAOS upon thy utterance.

I am He! The Light, the Light!
I am He, son of thine inequity!
Born from thy mouth
From thy heart I become
In Thy word I am
From the House of Death
Unto the Deeps and the Night
That lies upon the Earth
In the midst of the Cosmic Sea

Thus I AM, K.A.B.
Priest of thy Mysteries
Prophet of the Fiery Word
I come forth, I AM in Her
The Son of the Uncreate,
Initiate of Her Mysteries
Keeper of Her light and
The Fire which burns in
the heart of every Living thing
So I say, it is done.

The Vison

Now is seen a door in the Heavens, which bars the worlds from the communion of Her being. And Her sign is the Sign of Death, in the Night, upon the Hilltops, and amidst tombs and charnel grounds of the cities.

And the door is shut up and sealed against the great Demon, whose name is Destruction and whose Word is Dispersion. For the Dragon lieth dead but dreaming and the voice of Fire hath decreed unto the End of Days that the doors of the Pleroma shall remain sealed until the Dragon hath yet awakened and thus, reborn, shall devour the Universe, in each and every star, and thus having gathered the Light shall be transformed. And so is the becoming of the Dragon the sign of the Magician, and the dreams of the Dragon that lieth in the tomb of the Universe the formula of the Sorcerer. And none shall fathom these mysteries save those that are opened by the Spirit of the Unbegotten.

I stood upon the Temple stair and saw the skies round about the Mountain of the Universe burn and there was not found amidst the armies of the Logos, nor amongst the Demon host, one who could overcome the other. And the Seven principal spirits of Evil, the Seven Children of the Dragon made war upon the Host of Heaven and the Logos and his angels came against the Armies of the Spawn, and the Universe groaned and the stars fell from the sky to the earth.


Aleph – the Coming of the Lightbearer

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
Revelation Chapter: 15 - American Standard Version

The One who ever goeth amidst the Caverns of Space, the Lord of the Void place approaches. The demons stand against Him, He who comes as a mighty Lord, arrayed in the Armor of Light and bearing the Sword of Division. And as he goeth forth to engage in combat against the Seven, an angel appeared wreathed in clouds above the Temple mount, crying out:

Take heed, ye sons and daughters of the Earth, for the Hour of Judgement of the Universehath come. Who shall be found worthy to ascend unto the Holy of Holies?

Who shall open the Book of Creation and speak the Spell therein?

And the armies drew back at the word of the Angel, and none came forth to claim the office, for it is written, the One who ascendeth shall come not from the House of the West or the East. And I saw, standing upon the clouds of Heaven, the Daughter of Eternity, whom the Unbegotten hath brought forth from the center of Her being. And the angel that standeth amidst the clouds cried out again:

Behold, the Presence, the Being of the First, the Daughter of Eternity.

And She shines with the Light of the Pleroma, which is the sign of the star and the Moon, and the Demons of the Horde grew afraid, and fled from the Mountain lest the First grant the Daughter of Heaven the power to bind them and cast them into bondage as she had been granted the power to sing the Son of the Dawn from death in the Tomb of the Dragon.

And I heard a voice, like the sound of many thunders:

Whomsoever shall seek the path whereby the Temple is opened and goeth up to the stairstep thereof must be filled with the Light of the Unbegotten which can be found only by the Daughter of Eternity. And the Daughter of Eternity called to the Logos and He went unto Her, being filled with desire, for his completion is in the union of the Light and Darkness and thereby the fulfillment of the Courses of Fate.

The Daughter of the First reached out Her hand and the Logos took it and behold, the Universe shook as if stricken by a great earthquake. Now the vision fades away and I am in darkness. All that I can see is the guiding angel and he spoke, saying:

Thus is the mystery of the Daughter and the Son of the Morning, which is the conjunction of LVX and NOX. So the Light is called the Logos and the Darkness Hekate Triformis, for the formula of her name reveals the mystery of Her being.
Now the stars appear and the Moon grows full and dies, passing through 13 cycles. And the angel speaks again:

Thus it is shown in the formula of the Moon, for the opening of each gate is the conquest of the archon thereof so that the calling down of any power is accomplished by the Moon Gate. So it was that when Hekate bid the Logos to come unto her, there union produced a great Light and the Light became a sphere and upon it was written

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

It is thus, now and forever. If you would seek the blessing of the Daughter of eternity, invoke by the formula:

|
LVX -----> NOX
\/

And the meaning of the rune is this:
The god shall come unto thee and anoint thee as a priest of these mysteries, and He is called first, that the priest may wield the Great Spell of Making, and thus invoking the force of the rune, Hekate shall come unto you.

Again I am wrapped in perfect Darkness, and now the angel’s voice comes as if from a great distance:
Thus the Word, the formula and it meaning are found when the Moon is conjured by the formula. So it shall be, for she is the least of the planets but the greatest among the Powers, for it bears the image of Hekate and the understanding of her Mystery.

I depart in this word : BAVOT

And the formula is the opening of the Gate of the supernal Light, the Logos. In that is the work completed, for the seal shall be broken by one who has not yet ascended unto the Temple and he shall be marked with the sign of the Adepts, for he hath conquered the great Demon CHORONZON. For thee, in Her name, the Word is exhausted.

K.A.B., Priest and prophet of the mysteries of the First.
