		XXXI	CCXX
1	1.	1	1	Had!  The manifestation of Nuit.
	2.	2	2	The unveiling of the company of heaven.
	3.	3	3	Every man and every woman is a star.
	4.	4	4	Every number is infinite;:  there is no difference.
	5.	5	5	Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my
		6	6	unveiling before the Children of men!
	6.	7	7	Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my
		8	8	heart & my tongue.
	7.	9	9	Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the
		10	10	minister of Hoor-paar-kraat.
	8.	11	11	The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in
		12	12	the Khabs.
	9.	13	13	Worship then the Khabs, and behold my
		14	14	light shed over you.!
2	10.	15	15	Let my servants be few & secret:  they shall
		16	16	rule the many & the known.
	11.	17	17	These are fools that men adore; both their
		18	18	Gods & their men are fools.
	12.	19	19	Come forth, o children, under the stars,
	13.	20	20	& take your fill of love.!  I am above you
		21	21	and in you.  My ecstasy is in yours.  My
		22	22	joy is to see your joy.
	14.	23		V.I. of Spell called the Joy.
			23
			24	Above, the gemmèd azure is
			25	The naked splendour of Nuit;
			26	She bends in ecstasy to kiss
			27	The secret ardours of Hadit.
			28	The wingèd globe, the starry blue,
			29	Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
			30
	15.	24	31	Now yet shall know that the chosen
		25	32	priest & apostle of infinite space is
		26	33	the prince-priest the Beast; and in
3		27	34	his woman, called the Scarlet Woman, is
		28	35	all power given.  They shall gather my
		29	36	children into their fold:  they shall bring the
		30	37	glory of the stars into the hearts of men.
	16.	31	38	For he is ever a sun, and she a moon.  But
		32	39	to him is the winged secret flame, and to
		33	40	her the stooping starlight.
	17.	34	41	But ye are not so chosen.
	18.	35	42	Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!
	19.	36	43	O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them!
	20.	37	44	The key of the rituals is in the secret word
		38	45	which I have given unto him.
4	21.	39	46	With the God & the Adorer I am nothing:  they
		40	47	do not see me.  They are as upon the earth;
		41	48	I am Heaven, and there is no other God
		42	49	than me, and my lord Hadit.
	22.	43	50	Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my
		44	51	name Nuit, and to him by a secret name
		45	52	which I will give him when at last he
		46	53	knoweth me.
		47	54	Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite
		48	55	Stars thereof, do ye also thus.  Bind
		49	56	nothing!  Let there be no difference made
		50	57	among you between any one thing & any
5		51	58	other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.
	23.	52	59	But whoso availeth in this, let him be
		53	60	the chief of all!
	24.	54	61	I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty.
	25.	55	62	Divide, add, multiply, and understand.
	26.	56	63	Then saith the prophet and slave of the
		57	64	beauteous one.:  Who am I, and what shall
		58	65	be the sign.?  So she answered him, bending
		59	66	down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching,
		60	67	all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the
		61	68	black earth, & her lithe body arched for love,
		62	69	and her soft feet not hurting the
6		63	70	little flowers:  Thou knowest!  And the sign
		64	71	shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of
		65	72	the continuity of existence,  the non-atomic the unfragmentary
		66
		67	73	omnipresence of my body.
		68		non-atomic fact of my universality.
		69		(Write this in whiter words)  |  Done later as (But go further on) above.
		70
	27.	71	74	Then the priest answered & said unto
		72	75	the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows,
		73	76	and the dew of her light bathing his whole
		74	77	body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat:
		75	78	O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it
7		76	79	be ever thus; that men speak not of
		77	80	Thee as One but as None; and let
		78	81	them speak not of thee at all, since
		79	82	thou art continuous.!
	28.	80	83	None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of
	29.	81	84	the stars, and two.       For I am divided
		82	85	for love's sake, for the chance of union.
	30.	83	86	This is the creation of the world, that
		84	87	the pain of   division distance  is as nothing, and
		85
		86	88	the joy of dissolution all.
	31.	87	89	For these fools of men and their
8		88	90	woes care not thou at all!  They feel
		89	91	little; what is, is balanced by weak
		90	92	joys:;  but ye are my chosen ones.
	32.	91	93	Obey my prophet! follow out the
		92	94	ordeals of my knowledge! seek me
		93	95	only! Then the joys of my love will
		94	96	redeem ye from all pain.  This is
		95	97	so:  I swear it by the vault of my
		96	98	body; by my sacred heart and tongue;
		97	99	by all I can give, by all I desire of
		98	100	ye all.
	33.	99	101	Then the priest fell into a deep trance or
9		100	102	swoon, & said unto the Queen of Heaven;
		101	103	Write unto us the ordeals; write unto
		102	104	us the rituals; write unto us the law.!
	34.	103	105	But she said:  the ordeals I write not:
		104	106	the rituals shall be half known and
		105	107	half concealed:  the Law is for all.
	35.	106	108	This that thou writest is the threefold
		107	109	book of Law.
	36.	108	110	My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the
		109	111	priest of the princes, shall not in one
		110	112	letter change this book; but lest there
		111	113	be folly, he shall comment thereupon
		112	114	by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Ku-it.
10	37.	113	115	Also the mantras and spells; the
		114	116	obeah and the wanga; the work of
		115	117	the wand and the work of the
		116	118	sword:;  these he shall learn and teach.
	38.	117	119	He must teach; but he may make severe
		118	120	the ordeals.
	39.	119	121	The word of the Law is Θελημά.
	40.	120	122	Who calls us Thelemites will do no
		121	123	wrong, if he look but close into the
		122	124	word.  For there are therein Three
		123	125	Grades.,  the Hermit, and the Lover, and
		124	126	the man of Earth.  Do what thou wilt
11		125	127	shall be the whole of the Law.
	41.	126	128	The word of Sin is Restriction.  O man!
		127	129	refuse not thy wife, if she will.!  O
		128	130	lover, if you wilt, depart.!  There is
		129	131	no bond that can unite the divided but
		130	132	love:  all else is a curse.  Accurséd!
		131	133	Accurséd! be it to the aeons!  Hell.
	42.	132	134	Let it be that state of manyhood
		133	135	bound and loathing.  So with thy all;
		134	136	thou hast no right but to do thy will.
	43.	135	137	Do that, and no other shall say nay.
	44.	136	138	For pure will, unnassuaged of purpose,
12		137	139	delivered from the lust of result, is
		138	140	every way perfect.
	45.	139	141	The Perfect and the Perfect are one
		140	142	Perfect and not two; nay, are none!
	46.	141	143	Nothing is a secret key of this law.
		142	144	Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it
		143	145	eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen.
	47.	144	146	But they have the half:  unite by thine
		145	147	art so that all disappear.
	48.	146	148	My prophet is a fool with his one, one,
		147	149	one:;  are not they the Ox, and none
		148	150	by the Book.?
13	49.	149	151	Abrogate  are ^  all rituals, all ordeals, all
		150
		151	152	words and signs.  Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath
		152	153	taken his seat in the East at the Equinox
		153	154	of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa,
		154	155	who also are one.  But they are not of
		155	156	me.  Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the
		156	157	sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and
		157	158	splendour is the Lord initiating.
	50.	158	159	There is a word to say about the Hierophantic
		159	160	task.  Behold! there are three ordeals in
		160	161	one, and it may be given in three ways.
		161	162	The gross must pass through fire; let the
14		162	163	fine be tried in intellect, and the
		163	164	lofty chosen ones in the highest.  Thus
		164	165	ye have star & star, system & system;
		165	166	let not one know well the other.!
	51.	166	167	There are four gates to one palace;
		167	168	the floor of that place is of silver and
		168	169	gold,; lapis lazuli & jasper are there,; and
		169	170	all rare scents; jasmine & rose, and the
		170	171	emblems of death.  Let him enter in turn
		171	172	or at once the four gates; let him stand
		172	173	on the floor of the palace.  Will he
		173	174	not sink?  Amn.  Ho! warrior, if thy
		174	175	servant sink?  But there are means
15		175	176	and means.  Be goodly therefore:  dress ye
		176	177	all in fine apparel; eat rich foods and
		177	178	drink sweet wines and wines that foam.!
		178	179	last Also, take your fill and will of
		179	180	love as ye will, when, where and with
		180	181	whom ye will.!  But always unto me.
	52.	181	182	If this be not aright; if ye confound
		182	183	the space-marks, saying:  They are one;
		183	184	or saying, They are many; if the ritual
		184	185	be not ever unto me:  then expect
		185	186	the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit.!
	53.	186	187	This shall regenerate the world, the little
16		187	188	world my sister, my heart & my tongue,
		188	189	unto whom I send this kiss.  Also, o
		189	190	scribe and prophet, though thou be of the
		190	191	princes, it shall not assuage thee nor
		191	192	absolve thee.  But ecstasy be thine and
		192	193	joy of earth:  ever To me!  To me.!
	54.	193	194	Change not as so much as the style
		194	195	of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet,
		195	196	shalt not behold all these mysteries
		196	197	hidden therein.
	55.	197	198	The child of thy bowels, he shall behold
		198	199	them.
	56.	199	200	Expect him not from the East, nor from
17		200	201	the West,; for from no expected house
		201	202	cometh that child.  Aum!  All words are
		202	203	sacred and all prophets true; save only that
		203	204	they understand a little; solve the first
		204	205	half of the equation, leave the second
		205	206	unattacked.  But thou hast all in the
		206	207	clear light, and some, though not all, in the
		207	208	dark.
	57.	208	209	Invoke me under my stars.!  Love is the
		209	210	law, love under will.  Nor let the fools
		210	211	mistake love; for there are love and love.
		211	212	There is the dove, and there is the serpent.
		212	213	Choose ye well!  He, my prophet, hath
18		213	214	chosen, knowing the law of the fortress,
		214	215	and the great mystery of the House of God.
		215	216	All these old letters of my Book are
		216	217	aright; but is not the Star.  This
		217	218	also is secret:  my prophet shall reveal
		218	219	it to the wise.
	58.	219	220	I give unimaginable joys on earth:  certainty,
		220	221	not faith, while in life, upon death; peace
		221	222	unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand
		222	223	aught in sacrifice.
	59.	223	224	My incense is of resinous woods & gums;
		224	225	and there is no blood therein:  because of
		225	226	my hair the trees of Eternity.
19	60.	226	227	My number is 11, as all their numbers
		227	228	( Lost 1 phrase ^ )   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.

		233	231	blind, but the blue & gold are seen of the
		234	232	seeing.  Also I have a secret glory for
		235	233	them that love me.
	61.	236	234	But to love me is better than all things:  if
		237	235	under the night-stars in the desert thou
		238	236	presently burnest mine incense before me,
		239	237	invoking me with a pure heart, and the
		240	238	Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come
		241	239	a little to lie in my bosom.  For one kiss
		242	240	wilt thou then be willing to give all:;
20		243	241	but whoso gives one particle of dust
		244	242	shall lose all in that hour.  Ye shall
		245	243	gather goods and store of women and
		246	244	spices; ye shall wear rich jewels; ye
		247	245	shall exceed the nations of the earth
