THE LAW OF LIBERTY Here is the Calendar of our Church: “But ye, O my peo- ple, rise up and awake! Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy and beauty!” Remember that all acts of love and pleasure are rituals, must be rituals. “There are rituals of the elements and feasts of the times. A feast for the first night of the Prophet and his Bride! A feast for the three days of the writing of the Book of the Law. A feast for Tahuti and the children of the Prophet—secret, O Prophet! A feast for the Supreme Ritual and a feast for the Equinox of the…
…s accepting the Grade of Magus I had incurred certain responsibilities. Previously, I had taken the attitude that, while The Book of the Law had been given to the world through me, and though I was ineluctably bound thereby, I could stand aloof to some extent. I could consider myself as a Magician pledged to the Law, accepting it and working by its formula: but not identified with its promulgation to the exclusion of all other aims. My formal attainment of the Grade involved my identifying myself with the word Thelema. My personality must be co…

He lowers the Lance, and turns to East. The Priestess takes the Lance in her right hand. With her left hand she offers the Paten. The PRIEST kneels. Tue PRIEST.

…e beauty of the place, hope laughs and says me nay ; In nature’s bosom, in God’s face, I read Decay, Decay. Here in the splendour of the Law that built the eternal sphere, Beauty and majesty and awe, I fail of any cheer. Here, in caprice, in will divine, I see no perfect peace ; Here, in the Law’s impassive shrine, no hope is of release. All things escape me, all repine, all alter, ruin, cease. II But thou, O Lord, O Apollo, Must thou utterly change and pass ? Thy light be lost in the hollow ? Thy face as a maid’s in a glass Go out and be lost …
…fit: let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of Kings: stamp down the wretched and the weak; this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world. That sets up a standard , with a vengeance! (Note "they feel not," twice repeated. There should be something important to the thesis herein concealed.) The passage becomes exalted , but a verse later resumes the the me, setting forth the philosophical basis of these apparently violent and arrogant remarks. "It is a lie, this folly against self." (AL.…

I wish to thank my friend Oliver Marlow Wilkinson, Louis Wilkinson’s son, for his encouragement and support in seeing his father’s work completed.

IMPROVISING A TEMPLE 177 And I shall leave anything else to the next letter. Love is the law, love under will. Yours fraternally, 666 P.S. "Next letter," yes, they are running into one another more than somewhat; it is better so, for Life is like that. And we have the bold bad editor to sort them out.
142 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS What you say about tension and eagerness and haste is very true. See The Book of the Law , Chapter 1:44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose , delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect . This, from a practical point of view, is one of the most important verses in the book . The unusual word unassuaged is very interesting. People generally suppose that 'will' is the slave of purpose, that you cannot will a thing properly unless you are aiming at a definite goal. But this is not the case. Thinking of the go…

Secular is as nothing in His sight. Outside the Church there is not any hope For any man of knowing wrong from right: In Heaven God is the Law , on earth -- the Pope, Moreover learn , O thou vainglorious man , That crimson fires in deepest Hell await All those unfaithful who refuse to scan Him in the mystery immaculate. High on a lofty rock one castle stands , Which , stormed an…
46 Selfishness Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Selfishness? I am glad to find you worrying that bone, for it has plenty of meat on it ; fine juicy meat, none of your Chilled Argentine or Canterbury lamb. It is a pelvis, what's more; for in a way the whole structure of the ethics of Thelema is founded upon it. There is some danger here; for the question is a booby trap for the noble , the generous, the high-minded . 'Selflessness', the great characteristic of the Master of the Temple, the very quintessence of his att…

…axed enough; we see that the "Holy man" is not such a fool as he looks; and we may get on with our excursions into the "morality" of the Law of the New Aeon, which is the Aeon of Horus, the crowned and conquering child; and-"The word of the Law is eEAHMA ." 3. So much of The Book of the Law deals directly or indirectly with morals that to quote relevant passages would be merely bewildering. Not that this state of mind fails to result from the first, second, third and ninety-third perusals! When Duty bellows loud "Thou must!" The youth replies, …
…rsecute Free Women and Free Men. Verbotenism has gone so far in certain slave-communities that the use of wine is actually prohibited by law!! I wish here to emphasize that the Law of Thelema definitely enjoins us, as a necessary act of religion, to “drink sweet wines and wines that foam.” Any free man or woman who resides in any community where this is verboten has a choice between two duties: insurrection and emigration. The furtive disregard of Restriction is not Freedom. It tends to make men slaves and hypocrites, and to destroy respect for…
…s so pat, so natural, so self-justified, so evidently the unique value of the “x” of the equation, that it is impossible to quibble. The law of probabilities excludes all theories but one. The simple Truth is what I have always asserted. There is a Being called Aiwaz, an intelligence discarnate, who wrote this Book of the Law, using my ears and hand. His mind is certainly superior to my own in knowledge and in power, for He has dominated me and taught me ever since. But that apart, the proof of any discarnate intelligence, even of the lowest or…

Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curs…
…ay perhaps be interpreted in a sense slightly dif ferent from that assumed in the above paragraph. We should indeed love all—is not the Law “love under will”? By this I mean that we should make proper contact with all, for love means union; and the proper condition of union is determined by will. Consider the right attitude to adopt in the matter of cholera. One should love it, that is, study it intimately; not otherwise can one be sure of maintaining the right relation with it, which is, not to allow it to interfere with one’s will to live. (…
