without keeping back the least imaginable Thing. So then I made swift Strides along the Path.
Liber Aleph - 35
But in the Dhyanas that were granted unto me in Kandy, in the Island of Lanka, I used up my
whole Charge of Magical Energy; and for two Years I fell away from the Work.
79. DE MANU QUAE MAGUM SUSTINET.
(On the Hand that Upholds the Magus)
Now it may be well that such Periods of Recuperation are necessary to such souls as mine; and
so no Ill. But I fell from my Will, and sought other Ends in Life; and so the Hand came upon me,
and tore away that which I desired, as thou knowest; also it is written in the Temple of Solomon
the King. Yet consider also these two Years as a necessary Preparation for that greatest of all
Events which befell me in El-Kahira, in the Land of Khem, the Choice of me as the Word of the
Aeon. Now then for a while I worked with my Will, though not wholly; and again the Hand
reached forth and smote me. This, albeit my Slackness was but as a Boy playing Truant, not a
revolt against my Self. Wherefore, despite all, I made much Progress in short Time.
80. DE SUO PECCATO. (On His Sin)
Now then, well schooled, I strove no more against my Nature, and worked with all my Will.
Thou knowest well how greatly I was rewarded. Yet in this last Initiation to the Grade of Magus,
wherein three-and-seventy Days, as Men count Days, is but One Day, the Ordeal grew so fierce
and intolerable that I gave back a Step. I did not utterly renounce the Work, but I swore not to
continue unless mine Agony were abated. But after fifteen Days, I came to myself in a certain
Ordeal, wherein I knew myself finally, that I could do no other than take up that fearful Burden
that had broken my Spirit. And for these fifteen Days have I not suffered infinite Things? Was
not the Tree of my Work frozen, one Branch withered, and on blasted? Look no more, o my son,
upon thy Father's Shame!
81. DE SUA VICTORIA PER NOMEN BABALON.
(On His Victory Through the Name Babalon)
And after? This Dawn (for I have toiled through the Night in my great Love and Care of thee)
how is it with me? it is well. For I have found myself; I have found my Will; the Obstacles that
daunted me are seen to be by the Shadows of Shadows. Grace be unto Lady BABALON.
Thus it is written in "The Book of the Law": "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." Learn
then that it is in the contemplation of Division that Sorrow is, for Division is the Formula of
Choronzon. It is herefore discreet for thee to unite each element of Sorrow with its Opposite; in
whose Triumph of Hymen is Ecstacy, until by Apprehension of the new great Opposite the Idea
is again seen as Sorrow. This then is the Issue from Sorrow; and thou mayst understand that I
now also am confident in the Necessity of this my Fall to prepare the formula of my Exaltation.
Therefore, my Son, thus Hail Me: Blessing and worship to the Beast, the Prophet of the Lovely
Star.

82. DE ARCANO NEFANDO. (On the Forbidden Secret)
O my Son, learn this concerning Magick, that the Yang moveth, and thus giveth itself up
Eternally; but the Yin moveth not, seeking ever to enclose or restrict, reproducing in its own
likeness what Impressions soever it made thereon, yet without Surrender. Now the Tao absorbeth
all without Reproduction; so then let the Yang turn thereto, and not unto he Yin. And that thou
mayst understand this, I say: It is a Mystery of O.T.O. For the Sun ariseth not and entereth to
strike upon the High Altar of the Minister by the Great Western Gates, but by the Rose Oriel
doth he make Way and Progress in His Pageant. O my Son, the Doors of Silver are wide open,
and hey tempt thee with their Beauty: but by the narrow Portal of Pure Gold shalt thou come
nobly to thy Sanctuary. Behold! Thou knowest not how perfect is this Magick; it is the dearest-
bought and holiest of our Arcana. What then is like unto my Love toward Thee, that bestoweth
upon thee this Treasure of my Wisdom? My Son, neglect it not; for it is the Exorcism of
Exorcisms, and the Enchantment of Enchantments.
83. DE ARCANO, PER QUOD SPIRITUS QUIDAM IN CORPORE RECIPIATUR.
(On the Secret through which any Spirit is Received in the Body)
Here now is another Formula of Power, good to invoke any Being to manifest in thyself. First,
invoke him by the Power of all thy Spells and conjurations, with Mind concentrated and Will
vehement, toward him, as I have written in many Books. But because thou are NEMO, thou
mayst safely invoke him, no matter of what Nature, within thy Circle. Now then do thou confer
on him as a Guerdon of his Obedience the Dignity of a Soul seeking Incarnation, and so precede
to consecrate thine Act by performing the Mass of the Holy Ghost. Then shall that Spirit make
himself Body from those Elements, and thou partaking thereof makest thine own Body his
Machinery of Manifestation, and thus mayst thou work with any Spirit soever; yet this shall
serve thee most in common Life. Also he Qualities are well defined in the Cards of the Tarot, so
hat thou hast a clear-cut Means of developing thy Powers according to the Needs of the Time.
But learn also this, to work constantly under the Guidance of thine Holy Guardian Angel, so that
thy Workings be alway in Harmony and Accord with thy true Will.
84. DE CLAVE KABBALISTICA HUJUS ARTIS.
(On the Qabalistic Key of this Art)
Now then to thee who art long since Master of High Magick, it will be easy to shew how the
Mass of the Holy Ghost, sung even in Ignorance, may work many a Wonder by Virtue of the
Force generated being compelled to manifest on other than its own Plane. Here then is a Theory
of the Mystery of the Aeon, that I, being the Logos appointed thereunto, did create an Image of
my little Universe in the Mind of the Woman of Scarlet; that is, I manifested my whole Magical
Self in her Mind. Thus then in Her, as in a Mirror, have I been able to interpret myself to myself.
Thou also in thine own Way hast he Power to create such an Image; but be thou sure and alert,
testing constantly the Persons in that Image by the Holy Qabalah and by the true Signs of
