0. These are the adorations to be performed by aspirants to the A∴A∴.

1. Let him greet the Sun at dawn, facing East, giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice:

Hail unto Thee who art Ra in Thy rising, even unto Thee who art Ra in Thy strength, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Uprising of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Night!

2. Also at Noon, let him greet the Sun, facing South, giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice:

Hail unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy triumphing, even unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy beauty, who travellest over the heavens in thy bark at the Mid-course of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Morning!

3. Also, at Sunset, let him greet the Sun, facing West, giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice:

Hail unto Thee who art Tum in Thy setting, even unto Thee who art Tum in Thy joy, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Down-going of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Day!

4. Lastly, at Midnight, let him greet the Sun, facing North, giving the sign of his grade, and let him say in a loud voice:

Hail unto thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy silence, who travellest over the heavens in Thy bark at the Midnight Hour of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Evening.

5. And after each of these invocations thou shalt give the sign of silence, and afterward thou shalt perform the adoration that is taught thee by thy Superior. And then do thou compose Thyself to holy meditation.

6. Also it is better if in these adorations thou assume the God-form of Whom thou adorest, as if thou didst unite with Him in the adoration of That which is beyond Him.

7. Thus shalt thou ever be mindful of the Great Work which thou hast undertaken to perform, and thus shalt thou be strengthened to pursue it unto the attainment of the Stone of the Wise, the Summum Bonum, True Wisdom and Perfect Happiness.





Energy, Hierarchy and Relationship

Written by David Bersson

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

Now consider of this; it is practical to know when energy is being wasted. I have a will in a certain direction; and goals for that will to be accomplished. I know that Initiation is a magical operation that is going take energy; and that my very sex act will waste that energy unless it too is a magical operation unto Nuit.

Now consider of this; when my students are having an affair; even if that relationship is with another member of the Order; I will try to point out to them that they only have a certain amount of energy to expend; and they must be careful that the relationship does not degenerate into a situation where either party involved is becoming a vampire to either party.

Now consider of this; I have actually seen the situation become so demonic with two students that I have ordered them to cut the relationship short or I would cut with them. I have only seen the need to do this a handful of times; and a simple warning is usually enough for them to adjust the relationship where each party is "aware" of each other. If I have given a hint to one party showing real spiritual aspiration; and the other one is simply oblivious to the others will; I will then warn the one who is simply using the other that I do not like the relationship.

Now consider of this; if the person I warned uses proper introspection and backs away from the relationship; the relationship will naturally adjust itself. Each party will go away from each other with the experience that their attempt to create a Thelemic Relationship did not work. The person who backed away now knows that she or he was a vampire in that union; and should seriously consider mounting the horse again to ride again forth to another relationship.

Having considered the above; consider my first paragraph yet again where I touched upon energy that is wasted in a relationship. I must also touch upon people in authority under me working under the magical strain of a nation. Until the Hierarchy is built properly where the energy suffers no major leak; the person in authority cannot engage a serious relationship without serious damage to his growth. The expenditure of energy will be too much for even the strongest man; and the person will fail miserably to build a movement on a national level. In such a case; the problem is resolved in two ways; firstly by having a casual relationship instead of a serious relationship until the magick is sufficiently strong for the magical strain to be relaxed; and second by having more than one authority building a Hierarchy in that particular nation. From the Supreme Authority's point of view these two guidelines have a very special bonus; for one of the delegated authorities can now be promoted who does the best job building one of the parallel Hierarchies.

Well, I must close this tract by stating that a magical Hierarchy has its rules; and when you adhere to them; it is a very efficient talisman to compensate, direct and naturally balance pure energy.

Verily, so many are there "secrets" to its success that occult fraternities have kept them "sub rosa" and bound by threatening oaths. Although, I am the exception this rule; having no real oaths to keep it all secret; I will still point out that this essay is a mere outer circle hint of wonders written by someone who knows that it would be useless to elaborate further without the hands on experience that will be necessary to manifest and make sensible decisions on the real solutions to energy, Hierarchy and relationship.

Love is the law, love under will
