material plane. It is the Medicine of Metals, the Stone of the 
Wise, the Potable Gold, the Elixir of Life that is consumed 
therein. The altar is the hosom of Isis, the eteraal motlier ; 
the chalice is in effect the Cnp of our Lady Bah al on 
lier self ; the Wand is that which Was and Is and Is To 
Corne. 
The Eucharist of two éléments has its matter of the passives, 
The wafer (pantacle) is of corn, typical of earth; the wine (cup) 
represents water. (There are certain other attributions. The 
Wafer is the Sun, for instance : and the wine is appropriate to 
Bacchus). 
The wafer may, however, be more complex, the “Cake of 
Light” described in Liber Legis. 
This is used in the exoteric Mass of the Phoenix (Liber 333, 
Cap:44) mixed with the bloocl of the Magus. This mass should 
be performed daiJy at snnset by every magician. 
Corn and wine are équivalent to flesh and blood; but it is 
casier to couvert live substances into the body and blood of God, 
than to perform this miracle upon dead matter. 
The Eucharist of three éléments has for basis the symbols of the 
three Gunas. For Tamas (darkness) take opium or nightshade or 
some sleepy medicine ; for Rajas (activity) take strychnine or ocher 
excitant; for Sattvas (calm) the cakes of Light may again be 
suitable. 1 
The Eucharist of jour éléments consists of fire, air, water, and 
earth. These are represented by a flame for fire, by incense or 
roses for air, by wine for water, and by bread and sait for earth. 
The Eucharist of five éléments has for basis wine for taste, a 
rose for smell, a flame for sight, a bell for sound, and a dagger for 
touch. This sacrament is implied in the Mass of the Phoenix in 
a slightly different form. 
I. The Cakes of Light are universally applicable; they contain meal, 
honey, and oil (carbohydrates, fats, and proteids, the three necessaries of 
human nutrition) : also perfume of the three essential types of magical 
and curative virtue; the subtle principle of animal life itself is hxed in them 
by the introduction of fresh living blood.
