Liber Al vel Legis

Into the House of Ra and Tum, Of Khephra, and of Ahathoor. I am thy Theban, 0 Mentu, The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu! By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat; . By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell. Show thy star-splendour, 0 Nuith ! Bid me within thine House to dwell, 0 winged snake of light, Hadith! Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit! 39. All this and a book to say how thou didst come hither and a reproduction of this ink and paper for ever—for in it is the word secret and not only in the English—and thy comment upon this the Book of the Law shall be printed beautifully in red ink and black upon beautiful paper made by hand; and to each man and woman that thou meetest, were it but to dine or to drink at them, it is the Law to give. Then they shall chance to abide in this bliss or no; it is no odds. Do this quickly! 40. But the work of the comment? That is easy; and Hadit burning in thy heart shall make swift and secure thy pen. 3o
