FROM THE BOOK OF THE LAW Every man and woman is a star. Every number is infinite : there is no difference. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all. Obey my prophet ! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge ! seek me only !

The word of the Law is Thelema. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he l…

The length of thy longing shall be the strength of its glory. He that lives long and desires death much is ever the King among the Kings.
