Had! The manifestation of Nuit

The unveiling of the company of heaven

Every man and every woman is a star

Every number is infinite; there is no difference

Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my

unveiling before the Children of men

Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my

heart + my tongue.

Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the

minister of Hoor-paar-kraat

The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in

the Khabs

Worship then the Khabs, and behold my

light shed over you.

2

Let my servants be few + secret: they shall

rule the many + the known.

These are fools that men adore; both their

Gods + their men are fools.

Come forth, o children, under the stars

+ take your fill of love. I am above you

and in you. My ecstasy is in yours My

joy is to see your joy

V. 1 of Spell called the Song.

Now ye shall know that the chosen

priest + apostle of infinite space is

the prince-priest the Beast and in

3

his woman; called the Scarlet Woman, is

all power given. They shall gather my

children into their fold: they shall bring the

glory of the stars into the hearts of men.

For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But

to him is the winged secret flame and to

her the stooping starlight.

But ye are not so chosen

Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!

O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them!

The key of the rituals is in the secret word

which I have given unto him

4

With the God + the Adorer I am nothing: they

do not see me. They are as upon the earth

I am Heaven, and there is no other God

than me, and my lord Hadit.

Now therefore I am known to ye by my

name Nuit, and to him by a secret name

which I will give him when at last he

knoweth me

Since I am Infinite Space and the Infinite

Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind

nothing! let there be no difference made

among you between any one thing + any

5

other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.

But whoso availeth in this let him be

the chief of all!

I am Nuit and my word is six and fifty

Divide, add, multiply and understand.

Then saith the prophet and slave of the

beauteous one. Who am I, and what shall

be the sign. So she answered him, bending

down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching

all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the

black earth + her lithe body arched for love

and her soft feet not hurting the

6

little flowers Thou knowest! And the sign

shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of

the continuity of existence, the ‘The unfragmentary

non-atomic fact of my universality.’

omnipresence of my body.

‘(Write this in whiter words)

‘But go forth on)’

Then the priest answered + said unto

the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows

and the dew of her light bathing his whole

body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat

O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it

7

be ever thus that men speak not of

Thee as One but as None and let

them speak not of thee at all since

thou art continuous.

None, breathed the light, faint + faery, of

the stars, and two. For I am divided

for love’s sake, for the chance of union.

This is the creation of the world that

the pain of division is as nothing and

the joy of dissolution all.

For these fools of men and their

8

woes care not thou at all! They feel

little; what is, is balanced by weak

joys: but ye are my chosen ones.

Obey my prophet! follow out the

ordeals of my knowledge! seek me

only! Then the joys of my love will

redeem ye from all pain. This is

so: I swear it by the vault of my

body; by my sacred heart and tongue;

by all I can give, by all I desire of

ye all.

Then the priest fell into a deep trance or

9

swoon + said unto the Queen of Heaven

Write unto us the ordeals write unto

us the rituals write unto us the law.

But she said the ordeals I write not

the rituals shall be half known and

half concealed: the Law is for all

This that thou writest is the threefold

book of Law.

My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu the

priest of the princes shall not in one

letter change this book; but lest there

be folly, he shall comment thereupon

by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khu-it.

10

Also the mantras and spells; the

obeah and the wanga; the work of

the wand and the work of the

sword: these he shall learn and teach.

He must teach; but he may make severe

the ordeals.

The word of the law is qelhma

Who calls us Thelemites will do no

wrong, if he look but close in to the

word. For there are therein Three

Grades. the Hermit and the Lover and

the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt

11

shall be the whole of the Law.

The word of Sin is restriction. O man!

refuse not thy wife if she will. O

lover, if thou wilt, depart. There is

no bond that can unite the divided but

love: all else is a curse. Accursed!

Accursed! be it to the aeons. Hell.

Let it be that state of manyhood

bound and loathing. So with thy all

thou hast no right but to do thy will

Do that and no other shall say nay.

For pure will, unassuaged of purpose,

12

delivered from the lust of result, is

every way perfect

The Perfect and the Perfect are one

Perfect and not two; nay, are none!

Nothing is a secret key of this law

Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it

eight, eighty, four hundred + eighteen.

But they have the half: unite by thine

art so that all disappear.

My prophet is a fool with his one one

one: are not they the Ox and none

by the Book.

13

Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all

words and signs. Ra-Hoor Khuit hath

taken his seat in the East at the Equinox

of the Gods and let Asar be with Isa

who also are one. But they are not of

me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the

sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and

splendour is the Lord initiating.

There is a word to say about the Hierophantic

task. Behold! there are three ordeals in

one, and it may be given in three ways.

The gross must pass through fire; let the

14

fine be tried in intellect, and the

lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus

ye have star + star system + system

let not one know well the other.

There are four gates to one palace;

the floor of that palace is of silver and

gold, lapis lazuli + jasper are there, and

all rare scents jasmine + rose, and the

emblems of death. Let him enter in turn

or at once the four gates; let him stand

on the floor of the palace. Will he

not sink? Amn. Ho! warrior, if thy

servant sink? But there are means

15

and means. Be goodly therefore: dress ye

all in fine apparel eat rich foods and

drink sweet wines and wines that foam.

Also, take your fill and will of

love as ye will, when, where, and with

whom ye will. But always unto me.

If this be not aright; if ye confound

the space-marks, saying: They are one

or saying They are many; if the ritual

be not ever unto me: then expect

the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit.

This shall regenerate the world, the little

16

world my sister, my heart + my tongue,

unto whom I send this kiss. Also, o

scribe and prophet though thou be of the

princes it shall not assuage thee nor

absolve thee. But ecstasy be thine and

joy of earth: ever To me To me

Change not as much as the style

of a letter; for behold thou o prophet

shalt not behold all these mysteries

hidden therein.

The child of thy bowels, he shall behold

them.

Expect him not from the East nor from

17

the West, for from no expected house

cometh that child. Aum! All words are

sacred and all prophets true; save only that

they understand a little; solve the first

half of the equation, leave the second

unattacked But thou hast all in the

clear light, and some though not all in the

dark.

Invoke me under my stars. Love is the

law, love under will. Nor let the fools

mistake love; for there are love and love.

There is the dove and there is the serpent.

Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath

18

chosen, knowing the law of the fortress

and the great mystery of the House of God

All these old letters of my Book are

aright; but * is not the Star. This

also is secret: my prophet shall reveal

it to the wise.

I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty,

not faith, while in life, upon death; peace

unutterable, rest, ecstasy: nor do I demand

aught in sacrifice.

My incense is of resinous woods + gums

and there is no blood therein: because of

my hair the trees of Eternity.

19

My number is 11, as all their numbers

who are of us. My colour is black to the

‘The shape of my star is -’

‘The Five Pointed Star, with a

Circle in the Middle, + the circle is Red’

blind, but the blue + gold are seen of the

seeing. Also I have a secret glory for

them that love me.

But to love me is better than all things: if

under the night-stars in the desert thou

presently burnest mine incense before me

invoking me with a pure heart and the

Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come

a little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss

wilt thou then be willing to give all:

20

but whoso gives one particle of dust

shall lose all in that hour. Ye shall

gather goods and store of women and

spices; ye shall wear rich jewels; ye

shall exceed the nations of the earth

in splendour + pride; but always in the

love of me, and so shall ye come to

my joy. I charge you earnestly to come

before me in a single robe and covered

with a rich headdress. I love you I yearn to

you. Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous I

who am all pleasure and purple

21

and drunkenness of the innermost sense

desire you. Put on the wings and arouse

the coiled splendour within you: come unto me

At all my meetings with you shall the

priestess say - and her eyes shall burn

with desire as she stands bare and rejoicing

in my Secret Temple - To me! To me!

calling forth the flame of the hearts of all in her

love-chant.

Sing the rapturous love-song unto me!

Burn to me perfumes! Wear to me jewels!

Drink to me, for I love you! I love you!

22

I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am

the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-

sky.

To me! To me!

The Manifestation of Nuit is at an

end.

1

1 Nu! the hiding of Hadit.

2 Come! all ye and learn the secret that

hath not yet been revealed. I Hadit am

the complement of Nu my bride. I am not

extended, and Khabs is the name of my House

3 In the sphere I am everywhere, the centre as

she the circumference is nowhere found.

4 yet she shall be known + I never.

5 Behold! the rituals of the old time are black

Let the evil ones be cast away let the

good ones be purged by the prophet. Then shall

this Knowledge go aright.

6 I am the flame that burns in every heart of

man and in the core of every star. I am

2

Life, and the giver of Life yet therefore is

the knowledge of me the knowledge of death

7 I am the Magician and the Exorcist I am the

axle of the wheel and the cube in the circle

Come unto me is a foolish word for it is I that

go.

8 Who worshipped Heru-pa-kraath have

worshipped me; ill, for I am the worshipper.

9 Remember all ye that existence is pure joy

that all the sorrows are but as shadows they

pass + are done but there is that which

remains

10 O prophet! thou hast ill will to learn this

writing.

11 I see thee hate the hand + the pen but I am

3

stronger.

12 Because of me in Thee which thou knewest not

13 for why? Because thou wast the knower,

and me.

14 Now let there be a veiling of this shrine; now

let the light devour men and eat them

up with blindness!

15 For I am perfect, being Not; and my number

is nine by the fools but with the just I am

eight and one in eight: Which is vital, for

I am none indeed The Empress and the King

are not of me for there is a further secret

16 I am The Empress + the Hierophant. Thus

eleven as my bride is eleven.

4

17 Hear me, ye people of sighing

The sorrows of pain and regret

Are left to the dead and the dying

The folk that not know me as yet.

18 These are dead, these fellows: they feel not. We

are not for the poor and sad; the lords of the

earth are our kinsfolk.

19 Is a God to live in a dog? No! but the

highest are of us. They shall rejoice, our chosen:

who sorroweth is not of us.

20 Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and

delicious languor, force and fire, are of us.

5

21 We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit:

let them die in their misery: For they feel

not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp

down the wretched + the weak: this is the

law of the strong; this is our law and the

joy of the world. Think not, o king, upon that

lie: That Thou must Die: verily thou shalt

not die, but live! Now let it be understood

if the body of the King dissolve, he shall remain

in pure ecstasy for ever Nuit Hadit Ra-Hoor-

Khuit. The Sun, Strength + Sight, Light these

are for the servants of the Star + the Snake.

6

22 I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge + Delight

and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men

with drunkenness. To worship me take wine

and strange drugs whereof I will tell my

prophet + be drunk thereof! They shall not

harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly

against self. The exposure of innocence

is a lie. Be strong, o man, lust, enjoy

all things of sense and rapture; fear not

that any God shall deny thee for this.

23 I am alone; there is no God where I am.

24 Behold! these be grave mysteries; for there

are also of my friends who be hermits. now

7

think not to find them in the forest or on the

mountain but in beds of purple, caressed by

magnificent beasts of women with large limbs

and fire and light in their eyes and masses

of flaming hair about them; there shall ye

find them. Ye shall see them at rule, at

victorious armies, at all the joy; and there

shall be in them a joy a million times

greater than this. Beware lest any

force another, King against King. Love one

another with burning hearts; on the low men

trample in the fierce lust of your pride

8

in the day of your wrath.

25 Ye are against the people, O my chosen!

26 I am the secret Serpent coiled about to

spring: in my coiling there is joy. If I

lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one

If I droop down mine head and shoot

forth venom, then is rapture of the earth,

and I and the earth are one.

27 There is great danger in me; for who doth

not understand these runes shall make

a great miss. He shall fall down into

the pit called Because, and there he shall

9

perish with the dogs of Reason.

28 Now a curse upon Because and his kin!

29 May Because be accursed for ever!

30 If Will stops and cries Why, invoking

Because, then Will stops + does nought

31 If Power asks why, then is Power weakness.

32 Also reason is a lie for there is a

factor infinite + unknown + all their

words are skew-wise.

33 Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog!

34 But ye, o my people, rise up + awake!

35 Let the rituals be rightly performed with

joy + beauty

10

36 There are rituals of the elements and feasts

of the times.

37 A feast for the first night of the Prophet

and his Bride!

38 A feast for the three days of the writing of

the Book of the Law

39 A feast for Tahuti and the child of the

Prophet - secret, O Prophet!

40 A feast for the Supreme Ritual, and a

feast for the Equinox of the Gods

41 A feast for fire and a feast for water; a

feast for life and a greater feast for death

11

42 A feast every day in your hearts in the

joy of my rapture.

43 A feast every night unto Nu, and the

pleasure of uttermost delight!

44 Aye! feast! rejoice! there is no dread

hereafter. There is the dissolution, and

eternal ecstasy in the kisses of Nu.

45 There is death for the dogs.

46 Dost thou fail? Art thou sorry? is fear

in thine heart?

47 Where I am these are not.

12

48 Pity not the fallen! I never knew them.

I am not for them. I console not: I hate

the consoled + the consoler.

49 I am unique + conqueror. I am not of the

slaves that perish. Be they damned +

dead! Amen. [This is of the 4: there is

a fifth who is invisible, + therein am I

as a babe in an egg.]

50 Blue am I and gold in the light of my

bride: but the red gleam is in my eyes

+ my spangles are purple + green.

51 Purple beyond purple; it is the light higher

13

than eyesight.

52 There is a veil: that veil is black. It is

the veil of the modest woman; it is the veil

of sorrow, + the pall of death; this is none

of me. Tear down that lying spectre of

the centuries; veil not your vices in

virtuous words; these vices are my service;

ye do well, + I will reward you here and

hereafter.

53 Fear not, o prophet, when these words are

said, thou shalt not be sorry. Thou art

emphatically my chosen; and blessed are

14

the eyes that thou shalt look upon with

gladness. But I will hide thee in a

mask of sorrow; they that see thee shall

fear thou art fallen: but I lift thee up.

54 Nor shall they who cry aloud their folly

that thou meanest nought avail; thou

shall reveal it: thou availest: they are

the slaves of because: They are not of

me. The stops as thou wilt the letters

change them not in style or value.

55 Thou shalt obtain the order + value of

the English Alphabet; thou shalt find

15

new symbols to attribute them unto.

56 Begone! ye mockers; even though ye laugh

in my honour ye shall laugh not long; then

when ye are sad know that I have

forsaken you.

57 He that is righteous shall be righteous still

he that is filthy shall be filthy still.

58 Yea! deem not of change; ye shall be as ye

are + not other. Therefore the kings of

the earth shall be kings for ever: the slaves

shall serve. There is none that shall

be cast down or lifted up: all is ever

16

as it was. Yet there are masked ones my

servants; it may be that yonder beggar is

a King. A King may choose his garment as

he will: there is no certain test: but a

beggar cannot hide his poverty.

59 Beware therefore! Love all, lest perchance is a

king concealed! Say you so? Fool! If he

be a King, thou canst not hurt him.

60 Therefore strike hard + low and to hell

with them, master!

61 There is a light before thine eyes o prophet

a light undesired, most desirable.

17

62 I am uplifted in thine heart and the kisses

of the stars rain hard upon thy body.

63 Thou art exhaust in the voluptuous fullness

of the inspiration; the expiration is sweeter

than death, more rapid and laughterful than

a caress of hell’s own worm.

64 Oh! thou art overcome: we are upon thee

our delight is all over thee: hail! hail!

prophet of Nu prophet of Had prophet of

Ra-Hoor-Khu! Now rejoice! now come in

our splendour + rapture Come in our passionate

peace, + write sweet words for the Kings

18

65 I am the Master; thou art the Holy Chosen One

66 Write, + find ecstasy in writing! Work, +

be our bed in working. Thrill with the

joy of life + death. Ah! thy death shall

be lovely: whoso seeth it shall be glad. Thy

death shall be the seal of the promise of

our agelong love. Come! lift up thine heart

+ rejoice! We are one; we are none

67 Hold! Hold! Bear up in thy rapture

fall not in swoon of the excellent kisses

68 Harder! Hold up thyself! Lift thine head

19

breathe not so deep -- die!

69 Ah! Ah! What do I feel? Is the word

exhausted?

70 There is help + hope in other spells. Wisdom

says; be strong! Then canst thou bear more

joy. Be not animal; refine thy rapture!

If thou drink, drink by the eight and ninety

rules of art: if thou love, exceed by

delicacy and if thou do aught joyous, let

there be subtlety therein.

71 But exceed! exceed!

72 Strive ever to more! and if thou art truly

20

mine - and doubt it not, an if thou art

ever joyous - death is the crown of all

73 Ah! Ah! Death! Death! thou shalt long for

death. Death is forbidden, o man, unto thee.

74 The length of thy longing shall be the strength

of its glory. He that lives long + desires

death much is ever the King among the Kings.

75 Aye! listen to the numbers + the words

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

meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest

not; nor shalt thou know ever. There

cometh one to follow thee: he shall

21

expound it. But remember, o chosen

one, to be me; to follow the love of

Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look forth

upon men, to tell them this glad word.

77 O be thou proud and mighty among men!

78 Lift up thyself for there is none like unto

thee among men or among Gods! Lift up

thyself, o my prophet, thy stature shall

surpass the stars. They shall worship thy

name, foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the

number of the man; and the name of

22

thy house 418.

79 The end of the hiding of Hadit and

blessing + worship to the prophet of

the lovely Star!

1

1 Abrahadabra the reward of Ra Hoor Khut.

2 There is division hither homeward; there is a

word not known. Spelling is defunct all is not

aught Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of

Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

3 Now let it be first understood that I am

a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall

deal hardly with them.

4 Choose ye an island!

5 Fortify it!

6 Dung it about with enginery of war.

7 I will give you a war-engine.

8 With it ye shall smite the peoples; and

2

none shall stand before you.

9 Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this

is the Law of the Battle of Conquest: thus

shall my worship be about my secret house

10 Get the stele of revealing itself; set it

in thy secret temple - and that temple

is already aright disposed - + it shall be your

Kiblah for ever. It shall not fade, but

miraculous colour shall come back to it

day after day. Close it in locked glass for a

proof to the world.

11 This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument.

Conquer! That is enough. I will make easy

3

to you the abstruction from the ill-ordered

house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt

thyself convey it with worship, o prophet,

though thou likest it not. Thou shalt have

danger + trouble. Ra-Hoor- Khu is with

thee. Worship me with fire + blood; worship

me with swords + with spears. Let the woman

be girt with a sword before me: let blood

flow to my name. Trample down the Heathen; be

upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their

flesh to eat

12 Sacrifice cattle, little and big: after a child.

4

13 But not now.

14 Ye shall see that hour, o blessed Beast, and

thou the Scarlet Concubine of his desire!

15 Ye shall be sad thereof.

16 Deem not too eagerly to catch the promises fear

not to undergo the curses. Ye even ye know not

this meaning all.

17 Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates

nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor

laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power

in heaven or upon the earth or under the

earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your

5

light and I am the strength force vigour, of

your arms.

18 mercy let be off: damn them who pity.

Kill and torture; spare not; be upon them!

19 That stele they shall call the Abomination

of Desolation count well its name + it shall

be to you as 718.

20 Why? Because of the fall of Because, that

he is not there again.

21 Set up my image in the East: thou shalt buy

thee an image which I will show thee especial,

not unlike the one thou knowest. And it shall

be suddenly easy for thee to do this.

6

22 The other images group around me to support

me: let all be worshipped, for they shall

cluster to exalt me. I am the visible object

of worship the others are secret for the Beast

+ his bride are they: and for the winners of

the Ordeal x. What is this? Thou shalt know.

23 For perfume mix meal + honey + thick leavings

of red wine: then oil of Abramelin and

olive oil, and afterward soften + smooth

down with rich fresh blood

24 The best blood is of the moon, monthly: then

the fresh blood of a child, or dropping from the

7

host of heaven: then of enemies; then

of the priest or of the worshippers: last of

some beast, no matter what.

25 This burn: of this make cakes + eat unto

me. This hath also another use; let it be

laid before me, and kept thick with perfumes

of your orison: it shall become full of beetles

as it were and creeping things sacred unto me.

26 These slay, naming your enemies; + they shall

fall before you.

27 Also these shall breed lust + power of lust in

you at the eating thereof.

28 Also ye shall be strong in war.

8

29 Moreover, be they long kept, it is better; for

they swell with my force. All before me.

30 My altar is of open brass work: burn thereon

in silver or gold!

31 There cometh a rich man from the West who

shall pour his gold upon thee.

32 From gold forge steel

33 Be ready to fly or to smite.

34 But your holy place shall be untouched

throughout the centuries: though with fire and

sword it be burnt down + shattered, yet

an invisible house there standeth and

shall stand until the fall of the Great

9

Equinox, when Hrumachis shall arise and

the double-wanded one assume my throne and

place. Another prophet shall arise, and bring

fresh fever from the skies another woman shall

awake the lust + worship of the snake another

soul of God and beast shall mingle in the

globed priest another sacrifice shall stain

the tomb another king shall reign and blessing

no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed

mystical Lord!

35 The half of the word of Heru-ra-ha, called

Hoor-pa-kraat and Ra-Hoor-Khut.

10

36 Then said the prophet unto the God:

37 I adore thee in the song

“I am the Lord of Thebes” +c from Vellum book

Unity +c

------”fill me”

38 So that thy light is in me + its red flame

is as a sword in my hand to push thy

order. There is a secret door that I shall

make to establish thy way in all the quarters

(these are the adorations, as thou hast written)

as it is said:

The light is mine +c

from vellum book to “Ra-Hoor-Khuit”

11

39 All this and a book to say how thou

didst come hither and a reproduction of

this ink and paper for ever - for in it is

the word secret + not only in the English -

and thy comment upon this the Book of the Law

shall be printed beautifully in red ink and

black upon beautiful paper made by hand

and to each man or woman that thou

meetest, were it but to dine or to drink

at them, it is the law to give. Then they

shall chance to abide in this bliss or no

it is no odds. Do this quickly

40 But the work of the comment? That is easy; and

12

Hadit burning in thy heart shall make swift

and secure thy pen.

41 Establish at thy Kaaba a clerk-house:

all must be done well and with business

way.

42 The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only

the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou

shalt know + destroy the traitors. I am

Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect

my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not;

convert not; talk not overmuch! Them

that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them

attack without pity or quarter; + destroy them

utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn

13

and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he!

Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh

at their fear: spit upon them!

43 Let the Scarlet Woman beware! If pity and

compassion and tenderness visit her heart

if she leave my work to toy with old

sweetnesses then shall my vengeance be

known. I will slay me her child: I will

alienate her heart: I will cast her out

from men: as a shrinking and despised harlot

shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and

die cold and an-hungered.

44 But let her raise herself in pride. Let

her follow me in my way. Let her

work the work of wickedness Let her kill

her heart! Let her be loud and adulterous

let her be covered with jewels and rich

garments and let her be shameless before

all men.

45 Then will I lift her to pinnacles of power:

then will I breed from her a child mightier

than all the kings of the earth. I will fill

her with joy: she shall see

+ strike at the worship of Nu: she shall

achieve Hadit.

15

46 I am the warrior lord of the Forties; the

Eighties cower before me, + are abased.

I will bring you to victory + joy: I will be

at your arms in battle + ye shall

delight to slay. Success is your proof;

courage is your armour; go on, go on, in

my strength; + ye shall turn not back for

any!

47 This book shall be translated into all

tongues: but always with the original in

the writing of the Beast; for in the

16

chance shape of the letters and their

position to one another: in these are mysteries

that no Beast shall divine. Let him

not seek to try: but one cometh after

him, whence I say not, who shall

discover the key of it all. Then

this line drawn is a key: then this

circle squared * in its failure is a

key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall

be his child + that strangely. Let him not

seek after this; for thereby alone can he

fall from it.

17

48 Now this mystery of the letters is done, and

I want to go on to the holier place.

49 I am in a secret fourfold word, the blasphemy against

all gods of men.

50 Curse them! Curse them! Curse them!

51 With my Hawk’s head I peck at the eyes of

Jesus as he hangs upon the cross.

52 I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed +

blind him.

53 With my claws I tear out the flesh of the

Indian and the Buddhist, Mongol and

Din.

54 Bahlasti! Ompehda! I spit on your

18

crapulous creeds.

55 Let Mary inviolate be torn upon wheels:

for her sake let all chaste women be

utterly despised among you.

56 Also for beauty’s sake and love’s!

57 Despise also all cowards; professional soldiers

who dare not fight, but play; all fools despise!

58 But the keen and the proud the royal and

the lofty ye are brothers.

59 As brothers fight ye!

60 There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.

61 There is an end of the word of the God

19

enthroned in Ra’s seat, lightening the girders

of the soul.

62 To Me do ye reverence; to me come ye

through tribulation of ordeal, which is

bliss.

63 The fool readeth this Book of the Law, and

its comment + he understandeth it not.

64 Let him come through the first ordeal, +

it will be to him as silver

65 Through the second, gold

66 Through the third, stones of precious water.

67 Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the

intimate fire.

20

68 Yet to all it shall seem beautiful. its

enemies who say not so, are mere liars.

69 There is success.

70 I am the Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence

+ of Strength; my nemyss shrouds the

night-blue sky.

71 Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of

the world! for your time is nigh at hand.

72 I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power;

the wand of the “Force of Coph Nia” -- but my

left hand is empty, for I have crushed

21

an Universe + nought remains.

73 Paste the sheets from right to left and

from top to bottom: then behold!

74 There is a splendour in my name hidden

and glorious, as the sun of midnight is

ever the son.

75 The ending of the words is the Word

Abrahadabra.

The Book of the Law is Written

and Concealed.

Aum. Ha.
