… this Book is called L.1 L is the sacred letter in the Holy Twelve-fold Table which forms the triangle that stabilizes the Universe. See Liber 418.1 2 L is the letter of Libra, Balance, and “Justice”3 in the Tarot. This title should probably be AL, “El,” as the “L” was heard of the Voice of Aiwaz, not seen. AL is the true name of the Book, for these letters, and their number 31, form the Master Key to its Mysteries. 1 [“Liber L vel Legis sub figura CCXX,” in OEAHMA [London: pri vately printed for initiates of A.'.A.'., 1909], vol. 3, and The E…

Note Mordred as the traitor villain in Morte d’Arthur.3 In Liber Legis we have “Mary” who is to be “torn upon wheels” apparently because she is “inviolate”. Liber 418 has some explanation of this: “because she hath shut herself up,” I seem to remember is the phrase.4 1 [In Buddhism Mara is a devaputta or superhuman entity, usually char acterized as evil; he has other technical synonyms, including death and killing (Skt. marana).

One is not to do Yoga, etc., in order to get samadhi, like a schoolboy or a shopkeeper; but for its own sake, like an artist. 1 [For “Liber LXV” with Crowley’s commentary, and his translation of the Tao Te Ching, see Works Cited.] 2 [These are definitions of “assuaged,” not “unassuaged.”] “unassuaged” mean…

Liber Aleph has detailed instruction on numerous points involved in these questions. Why “eight and ninety rules of art”? I am totally unable to suggest a reason satisfactory to myself; but 90 is tzaddi, “The Emperor,” and 8, cheth, “The Charioteer” or Cup-Bearer; the phrase might then conceivably mean “with majesty.” Alterna tively, 98 = 2 x 49; now Two is the number of the Will, and Seven of the passive sen…
