She is a tree of life to them that lay
hold upon her: and happy is every one that retains her.
--- Proverbs 3:18
Darkness has descended round about the Mountain of Heaven and
Silence reigns in the Sanctuary of the Temple of Night. NYX,
Night! Reach forth thy hand and bestow upon this servant of
thy Mysteries thy blessing.
Who hath walked the Moon roads and climbed the ladder of Lights
hath not returned, nor hath any who would speak of these Mysteries
attained unto understanding. For these things are shrouded in
the Deeps of Night, shut up in the Mystery of Her Being and
none may gaze upon the secrets thereof and live. Therefore the
sign; for as you are commanded to will, to dare, to know and
to keep silent it is thus proved that those who speak directly
are not initiates of Her mysteries. Seek you therefore on the
Spiral path that leads down into Hades wrapped in gloom, for
those that are thus found worthy shall go thus before the throne
of the Queen of the Nether regions and be given final Key of
Death and Hell.
So it is, the numbering of the Magus:
By
the Sword, divide
By the Cup create
By the Wand command
By the Pentacle redeem
Four
are the weapons of the Magician
Four-square the Watchtowers of the Universe
One is the Magician, union of Darkness and Light
One is the Mother, NYX, unity of Being and Non-Being
Four and Twenty the Key, Nine and Nine and Nine by Three the
formula, Eight the Sign and Seven the Gates. By this let the
Magician divine by his works of the Art and the Word of his
Angel.
Therefore let the Spirit descend and the Fire thereof fill thee
up, so that thou may be, like the First, filled with the Word
of the Father that flows ever from the Depth as the Breath of
the Uncreated.
In this I give to you and seal with the Words: When the Day
comes that the Demon is roused and the formula of the resurrection
applied by the Adepts of my Arts, then shall the perfect communion
of the Heavenly Light be attained by those that dwell within
the Four-Square Universe be accomplished.
Therefore this mystery is encoded in the Stone, which in turn
is the secret Key unto the Grail and likewise is the rune of
the Grail numbered the Cornerstone to the Great Spell of Creation
and Destruction.
Seek in the works art and force, the spells of the Magician,
the process of the Philosophers and the understanding (gnosis
) of those who have prevailed against the tide of Darkness which
contains no Light. Seek faithfully, for the Way hath no end,
and they shall not pass by toward the Summit, those who have
fallen from the Tree, for these are shut up in smashan of the
14th Aethyr and shall contend against thee, those brothers of
the Black Lodge and seek to bind thee to them and thy light
be bound within matter. And they shall not prevail, neither
shall they find any weakness in thee, for the Light of NYX and
the Seal of HEKATE is upon you.
Let the Great Work thus be reckoned as the conquest of Time.
For you shall find that the leads not to the sunlit roads of
Day, but always unto the Night and the mysteries secreted away
there.
Now a voice is heard from the out of the Abyss:
Prepare and make ready the path of the Daughter of the First,
for the Day can hold no longer, and so She shall grant the Word
and the numbering thereof, and by this the Key to the Temple
and its formula, the priesthood of the Anointed and the altars
whereby they serve.
For a proof, only this:
The Moon is least and thus the Key that shall unlock this Mystery
that shall reveal thus all. And in serving before the Altar
of the Moon, the Day shall be concealed and Lucifer shall be
seen as the Midnight Sun. These words, unto thee I commit.
KAB
AUM.HA.
