THE VISION AND THE VOICE
and to the Neophyte the voice of the Zelator is called silence.
And so ever is it.
Sight is fire, and is the first angle of the Tablet; spirit is
hearing, and is the centre thereof; thou, therefore, who art all
spirit and fire, and hast no duller elements in thy star; thou
art come to sight at the end of thy will. And if thou wilt hear
the voice of the Aethyr, do thou invoke it in the night, having
no other light but the light of the half moon. Then mayest
thou hear the voice, though it may be that thou understandeth
it not. Yet shall it be a potent spell, whereby thou mayest
lay bare the womb of thine understanding to the violence of
CHAOS.
Now, therefore, for the last time, let the veil of the Aethyr
be torn.
Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha!

This Aethyr must be left unfinished then until the half
moon.

December 18, 3.10-4.35 p.m.
An olvah nu arenu olvah. Diraeseu adika va paretanu
poliax poliax in vah rah ahum subre fifal. Lerthexanax. Mama
ra-la hum fifala maha.
All this is the melody of a flute, very faint and clear. And
there is a sort of sub-tinkle of a bell.
