ontradiction with the absolute right of every person to do his own true will. but any true will is of necessity in harmony with the facts of existence; and to refuse to accept the book of the law is to create a conflict within nature, as if a physicist insisted on using an incorrect formula of mechanics as the basis of an experiment> they must acknowledge the authority of the beast 666 and of the scarlet woman as 240 in the book it is defined, and accept their will<"their will- not, of course, their wishes as individual human beings, but their will as officers of the new aeon> as concentrating the will of our whole order. they must accept the crowned and conquering child as the lord of the aeon, and exert themselves to establish his reign upon earth. they must acknowledge that "the word of

s two, but as naught. in the consciousness of the adept, this is called samadhi. he has united himself with, and lost himself in, nuit. when the "child" appears as two, it is magick, as the other is mysticism. this is the essential difference between these arts. al i,15 "now ye shall know that the chosen priest& apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the beast; and in 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" the old comment 15. the authority of the beast rests upon this verse; but it is to be taken in conjunction with certain later verses which i shall leave to the research of students to interpret. i am inclined, however, to believe that "the beast" and "the

carlet 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" the old comment 15. the authority of the beast rests upon this verse; but it is to be taken in conjunction with certain later verses which i shall leave to the research of students to interpret. i am inclined, however, to believe that "the beast" and "the scarlet woman" do not denote persons, but are titles of office, that of hierophant and high priestess( vau and gimel, else it would be difficult to understand the next verse. the new comment the definition of "infinite space" offered in the comment on verse 13 is useful here. my work is in great part to insist upon the infinite possibilities of human development. man has too slavishly acquiesced i

previous verse may say more about the defensive insecurity of crowley the man than the verses of liber al. in chapter i comment, remember that all this is a male mind trying to contemplate the revelations of a goddess. square peg and round hole problems may arise. i feel a certain necessity to explain that an 'avatar' implies rather a release from the limits of personality than anything else. the scarlet woman and i are peculiarly representative of nuit and hadit by virtue of our attainments in making our consciousness omniform as they re. it must not be supposed that our original individualities can claim any special prerogatives as such. al i,18 "burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent" the old comment 18. the serpent is the symbol of divinity and royalty. it is also a symbol of hadi

the uraeus, with the powers of life and death, wise, ecstatic, immortal; winged and hooded, that he may go as a god swiftly and silently. it refers in this place especially to hadit. al i,19 "o azure-lidded woman, bend upon them" the old comment 19. nuit herself will overshadow them. the new comment these two verses 18, 19, seem to be interpolated by aiwaz, invoking the gods to the beast and the scarlet woman, perhaps as a formal consecration. al i,20: the key of the rituals is in the secret word which i have given unto him. the old comment 20. this word is perhaps abrahadabra, the sacred word of 11 letters. the new comment for this word see appendix weh note: the appendix has not yet been recovered. kenneth grant, in his "magical and philosophical commentaries" pp. 105-108 has a lengthy

st features of crowley is his absent-minded bigotry. no chance that any intelligent person would accept his opinions without repeated trial! in some versions of "liber aleph" the passage "never marry a nigger" appears after crowley was seriously "paved" by his quadroon wife of the time. for the european whites, it is a matter of record that crowley was sent a notice of expulsion from beastship by scarlet woman alostrael. and it is to be taken that 'the woman' is to take arms in his honour. this woman might be the scarlet woman, or perhaps woman generally. remember that in the scarlet woman 'is all power given; and i expect a new semiramis. al iii,12 "sacrifice cattle, little and big: after a child" al iii,13 "but not now" al iii,14 "ye shall see that hour, o blessed beast, and thou the sca

symbols and darkside objects which stir your imagination. the first step would be to set a single red candle upon an altar. the altar can have any significant symbols on it, but above the altar, framed if possible, should be displayed the varcolaci sigil. incense should be billowing in the chamber, frankincense, jasmine, and rose are preferred. each is a fragrance of our coven and of babalon, the scarlet woman. in my personal experience dream is a form of astral projection. if i create a sigil for dreaming and traveling/meeting with another, then this can be done through an induced trance and then sleep. many actually are able to lie down and astrally project, while i have developed this ability, my own preference and greatest experiences are obtained from the dream/astral travel, from whi

l apparent points of inspiration, from thence the fulfillment of the will occurs. to those seeking guidance, the goddess- once invoked under one of her many forms- offers an abundance of inspiration and focus through the dreaming state. babalon is represented as both beautiful and ugly, of night black and fire red. she gives the flame essence of the great goddess, her vehicle upon earth being the scarlet woman, the divine manifestation of lust and strength. there is a well known saying 'behind every great man there is a woman, indeed, the all pervading woman. such a sentence can denote any particular aspect of woman, meaning mother, wife, lover, daughter or any female identity as she defines herself. a point within this phrase is that the feminine or lunar side of each individual should be

ge at will. i felt my form becoming that of a bat, i could float now in this chamber. opening an astral eye i could understand through sight what i had become, what beauty it was to view the self from a seemingly external eye. i decided to go forth into the great night, to that which awaited me. the varcolaci sigil was still burning in my mind, a collage of black and blood red. reminiscent of the scarlet woman who had manifested some time before and vanished. i knew what was out there, at the same time not knowing what awaited me. it was that pleasure and excitement which called to my very essence. the wind was gusty and chilly that evening. it was not unpleasantly cold, just the kind of weather where you would normally need a light jacket or such. astral form tends to not lay restrictions

the astral form can prove extremely stimulating on physical levels. activity is based on the uninterrupted 92 92 coagulation of lunar energy, mainly manifested through the female. through this male energy may be harnessed and redirected into the inherent dream, which the witches' sabbat is based upon. much blood flows, an image of the menstrual cycle of the witch, translated into the form of the scarlet woman. the sabbath concludes with a spiral of whirlwind activity and then awakening in the physical body. the participant generally feels much stronger and revitalized. nachtfahr- astral gatherings of wooded dreams so gathered with moss, and a silent watcher clothed in the ebony of twilight past. as the mist drapes our fragile sight a new form approaches, from which all is distilled, formi

r. it is obvious that it is a temptation for an aspirant's vanity to fancy himself as "the next beast' or herself as "the scarlet woman. there has been, in the last 65 years, a painful abundance of self- deluded disciples who fancied themselves as such. it must be stated here that either office is neither easy nor pleasing to anyone's ego, and that those who seriously aspire to become "beast" or "scarlet woman" are more to be laughed at than envied. robert heinlein has an amusing story about how the devil finally managed to dethrone god, and then, upon perceiving the responsibilities of ruler of the universe, cried in panic "but i don't want your job "so sorry, old boy, now you're stuck with it" god replied gleefully, and presumably went vacationing on the riviera. 17. but ye are not so ch
