LIBER XXV THE STAR RUBY. Facing East, in the centre, draw deep deep deep thy breath clos- ing thy mouth with thy right forefinger prest against thy lower lip. Then dashing down the hand with a great sweep back and out, expelling forcibly thy breath, cry AIIO ÏÏANTOS KAKOAAIMO NOS. With the same forefinger touch thy forehead, and say SOI, thy member, and say Q <I>AAAE 1, thy right shoulder, and say IS" XTPOS, thy left shoulder, and say ETXAPISTOS ; then clasp thine hands, locking the Angers, and cry IAQ. Advance to the East. Imagine strongly a Pentagram, aright, in thy forehead. Drawing the hands to the eyes, fling it forth, making the sign of Horus and roar 0HPION. Retire thine hand in the sign of Hoor- paar-Kraat. Go round to the North and repeatj but say NUIT. Go round to the West and repeatj but whisper BABALON. Go round to the South and repeatj but bellow HADIT. Completing the circle widdershins, retire to the centre and raise thy voice in the Paian, with these words Iü IIAN, with the signs of N.O.X. Extend the arms in the form of a Tau and say low but clear: npo mot ixrrES omxû mot teaetapxai eiii aesia XTNOXES EüAPISTEPA AAIMONOS $Er El TAP IIEPI MOT 0 ASTHP TON IIENTE KAI EN THI STHAHI ü ASTHP TON ES ESTHXE. Repeat the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin. I. The secret sense of these words is to be sought in the numération thereof. — 327
