The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

LIBER II THE MESSAGE OF THE MASTER THERION [The quotations in this Message are from Liber Legis—The Book of the Law.—Ep.] “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” “There is no Law beyond Do what thou wilt.” “The word of the law is @ednpa.” 6eXnpa—Thelema—means Will. The Key to this Message is this word—Will. The first obvious meaning of this Law is confirmed by antithesis: “The word of Sin is Restriction.” Again: “Thou hast no right but to do thy will. Do that and no other shall say nay. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered…

Of course it will be understood that anyone thus unfortunately situated cannot understand the Law, but the Law is of such virtue that this is not a fatal disadvantage. See Liber CCC. 54. Behold Migmar (Mars), as in his crimson veils his “Eye” sweeps over slumbering Earth.

Note also, pray thee, this word: “The Law is for all.” Do not therefore ‘se- lect suitable persons’ in thy worldly wisdom; preach openly the Law to all men. In Our experience We have found that the most unlikely means have produced the best results; and indeed it is almost the definition of a true Magical Formula that the means should be unsuited, rationally speaking, to the end proposed.

Formless are the fires , unconfined , Neither obedient to their own desires, Nor serving other mind . They are and are not , neither live nor die ; Nor quicken , nor consume truth or lie : All things reveal them , nothing can illume ." 122

CHAPTER III THE ALTAR THE Altar represents the solid basis of the work, the fixed Wiir of the Magician; and the law under which he works. Within this altar everything is kept, since everything is subject to law. Except the Lamp. According to some authorities the Altar should be made of oak to re- present the stubbornness and rigidity of law; others would make it of Acacia, for Acacia is the symbol of resurrection. The Altar is a double cube, which is a rough way of symbolizing the Great Work; for the doubling of the cube, Hke the squaring of th…
