The Phoenix hath a Bell for Sound; Fire for
Sight; a Knife for Touch; two cakes, one
for taste, the other for smell.
He standeth before the Altar of the Universe
at Sunset, when Earth-life fades.
He summons the Universe, and crowns it with
MAGICK Light to replace the sun of natural
light.
He prays unto, and gives homage to, Ra-Hoor-
Khuit; to Him be then sacrifices.
The first cake, burnt, illustrates the profit
drawn from the scheme of incarnation.
The second, mixt with his life’s blood and
eaten, illustrates the use of the lower life to
feed the higher life.
He then takes the Oath and becomes free—
unconditioned—the Absolute.
Burning up in the Flame of his Prayer, and
born again—the Phoenix!
