MORALS OF LIBER AL 
303 
It is the system natural to anyone who has psycho-analysed 
away all his complexes, repressions, fixations, and phobias. 
4. As matriarchy reflected the Formula of the Aeon of 
Isis, and patriarchy that of Osiris, so does the rule of the 
"Crowned and Conquering Child" express that of Horus. The 
family, the clan, the state count for nothing; the Individual is 
the Autarch. 
5. The Book announces a new dichotomy in human 
society; there is the master and there is the slave; the noble 
and the serf; the "lone wolf' and the herd. 1 
(Nietzsche may be regarded as one of our prophets; to a 
much less extent, de Gobineau.) Hitler's 'Herrenvolk' is a not 
too dissimilar idea; but there is no volk about it; and if there 
were, it would 
certainly

of '25 to date. The venerable lady (S.H. Soror I.W.E. go = 3°) 
who, on the death of S.H. Frater go = 3°, Otto Gebhardi, 
succeeded him as my representative in Germany (note that all 
this pertains to the A:. A:. ; the O.T.O. is not directly 
concerned) attained 
the Grade of Hermit (AL, I: 40). 
Watching the situation in Europe, she became constantly 
more convinced that Adolf Hitler was her "Magical Child"; 
and she conceived it to be her duty to devote her life (for the 
Hermit "gives only of his Light unto men") to his Magical 
Education. Knowing that the hegemony of the world would 
fall to the nation that first accepted the Law of Thelema, she 
made haste to put The Book of the Law in the hands of her 
"child." Upon him it most undoubtedly made the deepest 
1. The 'Master' roughly denotes the able, the adventurous, 
welcoming 
responsibility. The 'slave': his motto is "Safety fust," with all that this implies. 
Race, birth, breeding, etc. are important but not absolutely essential factors.
