Liber Aleph

THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 85 Gz De Missa Spiritus Sancti (Of the Mass of the Holy Ghost) OW at last, o my son, may I being thee to under- stand the Truth of this Formula that is hidden in the Mass of the Holy Ghost. For Horus that is Lord of the Æon is the Child crowned and conquering. The formula of Osiris was, as thou knowest, a Word of Death, that is, the Force lay long in Darkness, and by Putrefaction came to Resurrection. But we take living Things, and pour in Life and Nature of our own Will, so that instantly and without Corruption the Child (as it were the Word of that Will) is generated; and again immediately taketh up his Habitation among us to manifest in Force and Fire. This Mass of the Holy Ghost is then the true Formula of the Magick of the Æon of Horus, blessed by He in His Name Ra- Hoor-Khuit! And thou shalt bless also the Name of our Father Merlin, Frater Superior of the O.T.O., for that by seven Years of Apprenticeship in His School did I discover his most excellent Way of Magick. Be thou diligent, o my son, for in this wondrous Art is no more Toil, Sorrow, and Disappointment, as it was in the dead Aeon of the Slain Gods. n
