1. Arise! achieve perfect clarity, O thou slumbering titan: Atheosis is the reward hitherhomeward! Thine, O Man, is the gnosis of Mastery; thine is the ecstasy of sanctified carnality;

thine is the glory of Eternity in every moment of suffering or passion; and thine is theknowledge of all by the Baptism of Wisdom in the power of consecrated lust.

2. O Great Whore: Abrahadabra! thrown wide are the gates of the Abyss: there is Attainment.

O Man! Ablanathalba! we are one: we are none. Aum. Amn. Aha.

3. This is the word of the Master in the hand of the apostle of dead seed, the Spirit that

wandereth the wastes & wadeth among wraiths: it is the unveiling of the concealed word, the

whispered word of the secret shade, delivered unto that apostle upon the wings of angels of

light fallen upon the voluptuous body of Night, the succubi of the Great Whore at lust with thecreeping things of the lofty field of spirit. Secreted from out of the depths of Amennti, by the

ministers of the Ape of Heaven.

4. The bowels of the Master are darkened; the gateway is shut up; the shells are all over thee,stirred up in the whirling love-feast; but there is no god therein: for thou art immaculate, and

none. First, the word is concealed: it is as a babe in an egg, growing in Silence unto Strength,

wherewith it cometh forth. Then, all is revealed; and there is a breaking-forth of light in a new

Scarlet Dawn.

5. This is the word of Strength and of Sight: of Lust and of Light: the spirit that liveth and thesun that shineth bright; the holy book of the master will. Do; do not wail. Hail! thou art the

Master amidst the sundered veil.

6. The canon of the temple of Man; and the holy covenant of the master will. The unveiling of the sacerdotal rule of the Law, by the wisdom of the Master, unto the Atheologians; it is the law

of the secret temple. The word of the law is will; and the holy law of the temple is love. Thereis a word of the time; and there is a word of the rituals, the secret Hierophantic word revealed.

8




7. This is the gospel of Man, not of any angel or jinn: there is no god but genius; and there is no

guardian angel to spare thee: there is only the master will. This is the gnosis of the Masterful

Mind, self-shining & sublime: here is the glad word of the greatness of Man. To the initiate of the outer fold it is both angel and beast; to the adept of the inner fold it is divine will; to the

master it is the voice; to the magus it is unity with the divine; and to the highest it is self,

unlimited & unbothered, no matter the limit or the bother; but it is not at all.

8. There is a new Hierophantic formula, the word of the lord of Eternity in the flesh: it is nwyrt;

and it hath the number of a Man. It is the beast seated upon the throne of God; and it is thelingam, or the tree of Heaven; and it is the wheel that crushes all in the supreme union of holy

epiphany; but it is no god.

9. The word of man is devotion, and his is the worship of beauty; and the word of woman is

power, and hers is the lust of the Snake. Out of the womb of God draweth forth the double-

stream of power, in the issue of blood and seed: it is to purify and to vivify. It is the anointing of

Man, in the basilica of the Beast, at the worship of the lingam of the double-power of lust &

light; the manifestation of the regenerating agent of the virile force: theirs is the liaison of the

water-bearer and the lion, the chrism of the sacred Stone in the holy Kaaba of Man & beast.

And the holy union conferreth AQEOS.

10. Pleasure is your power: potentize with furious utterances; with charms and with fetishes;

with all strange fascinations that stir thee or still thee: Aum! lift the priapic flame to fill thee! itshall consume thee.

11. This is the covenant of the holy spirit of flame, the door to the deep things of Man & beast.

The master will, the divinity of man, the perfect union of contraries, is the self-glittering One: itis the current of the king; it is above thee and in thee. Its divinity is thine to unravel; its gnosis is

double: holy ghost with all carnal bliss, the mystic flame and the magic Serpent's kiss!

12. The utterances of lust are the holiest of all holy things: they are the invocation of the Siva

lingam of pure will.

13. Behold the wondrous secrets of its appearance! see and strike at the worship of Man!

achieve the clarity of the servant of Silence. It cometh from the power of the lust of Woman &

Man. Ye are gods! and ye are of the highest: witness and contemplate the unveiling of thesecret law; then all over thee comest the thundering elements of the master will!

9




14. Ours is the holy lust of Man; genius is our lord as ecstasy our spirit; and enlightenedcontemplation is the central rite of the acts of the outermost temple. Lurk: receive thee first the

teaching and second the epiphany of the mysteries of the Master. Withdraw: ponder in perfect

mind, in the strength of will without oppression of emotion; and meditate in the sanctity of thy shrine, opening the mind to the hidden light in the trance of secret darkness. Upon them: then behold! the unveiling of the masterful will of God in Man.

15. There is also another meaning, for the adepts of the secret temple. Lurk: charge slowly,

with delicacy and worship. Withdraw: retreat, with pause. Upon them: rage, & conquer.

16. There is a silvery veil leading to the Chapel of the Abominations of the Scarlet Whore.

Enter the outer fellowship of the lovely Star: ascend the body of the beast. The Stone of theRevealing of the Master is the lingam of the secret temple: it is the Stone of the Wise. Let it be

anointed in your worship: it bringeth forth the Elixir of Life upon thee, anointing thee in itschrismation; into the cup of water and wine, magical seed and mystical blood; and lastly, all

over thy spirit, in the terrible shuddering of profound union, at the approach of the third holy

veil of the temple of Man.

17. There is a golden veil leading to the Vault of the Adepts of Atheosis. Enter the fold of the

lust of Man: convoke with thy partners in the beds of flying things or creeping things, while worshipping with thy fetishes; or worship Thyself in solitude instead, summoning the elements

of the Beast or of its Bride (as thou tendest to the one or unto the other), in the rite of the

foundation of the Beast, at the summit of the mountain called Abiegnus, upon the altar of nogod, warmed at dawn in the rays of the vernal or autumnal sun, or cooled at night in the softglow of the full moon: for the Great Whore is your refuge as the Great Beast your light; and the

clarity of divinity is at your will.

18. There is a third veil leading to the Holy Order of the master will: the veil of Infinite Space &

Infinite Stars: and there are dead souls in that place, their mundane awareness dissolved for ever

in the cup of Holy Whoredom: they are the bodhisattvas of the Beast, and the mahatmas of themystery of mysteries. Their gross will is consumed in the fires of the belly of Hell, and is no

more; and they are manifest anew with strength of will & talent. These are our saints of theScarlet Mysteries that comest out of the hidden assembly: theirs is understanding, wisdom, and

Very Self of Very Self - impersonal and unrestricted by their momentary condition, theirs is

Legius. For they are the masters of the will; nothing shall assuage them or absolve them, and nogod is with them;but the knowledge of the highest is theirs, and the bed of God is their pleasure.

10




19. The smoke of your orison manifests the presence of the Master beyond the veil of the

sanctuary of the spirit of sense & rapture. It is most holy, and it maketh holy; and thy holy oil

maketh a source of holiness in whatsoever it anointeth. But ye hast the unction from theSerpent, and ye knowest all things.

20. Indulge your bliss, whatever it is, in your temple of Man: after the invocation, the teaching,

the epiklesis, and the love-feast. Also indulge all thy lustier desires at each of your celebrationsof sanctified pleasure, whether sanctoral or seasonal.

21. The temple is also double: for it is divided into two chambers by the veil of Paroketh, which

is black, with gold tassels; it is emblazoned with the Seven Pointed Star in red & black on white.

Over the first door is the veil of Masak, which is black. The first place is the Vault of Adepts, to

be used for meetings and pronouncements, as well as for exoteric feasts and celebrations; it is

dominated by the shrine of Man, dedicated to the prophets & the oracles. The other place is

utterly holy: for it is the Sanctum of the Master. It is the secret temple; and it is the place of the

altar of the flesh of uttermost sanctity of bliss, enshrining the phallic Stone & the holy Graal of

the Whore; and no god is with ye.

22. The cycle of the double-word is shadowed forth: the time of the Vulture-Queen that

feasteth on the member of the corpse of God, to draw forth and consume its spectral force; theera of Woman at lust upon the Master: verily, God is dead! the Master lives; and Atheosis is

made easy by the opening of the Abyss at the utterance of the hidden word of power. All shall be revealed.

23. The master will is your lord; and its terrestrial paraclete is manifest at rule, at work, at all the

joy; for it is the impersonal divinity of liberty & bliss that stands opposed to the bondage of

appeasement. His is happiness & merriment, not sacrifice & abstinence! His is love for the

worthy, and contempt for the foolish & the foul. And yours is the magic of ingenuity & the

manifold joy of the flesh, not impossible dreams & silly superstitions.

24. All these orgia of the secret temple work to summon the spirit of lust: to invoke theinspiration of art & of wisdom; to relieve stress and focus the subtle forces of body & mind.

Also these give strength of will & might in battle: for they are of the master will, and every way

perfect. Magic smiteth not the flesh of thine enemy; but it empowereth thee to fight him more

strenuously, with keener insight & intuition. We are for the lifting of spirits, the strengthening

of resolve, and the cultivation of hidden ability, not for immaterial hexation, with curses cast by

11




cowards who- out of abject terror behind the barred doors of catacombs & cubbyholes-

dare not fight but pretend! Ours is not the strategy of the simple-minded sulk; but theachievement of maximum potential is our Great Work.

25. Yet the fist alone availeth thee not, but cunning and beauty combine to create a greater

power by far. Dominance through subtlety and delicate strength is ours. But above all things islove: not passing sentiment or momentary obsession, but passionate sensuality and timeless

joy!

26. In the outermost temple of the shrine of Man, therefore, do ye minister the sacraments of

festive indulgence, dispense joyous entertainment, and commemorate the clerics & kings of the

master culture. It is also the headquarters of your ministry of blessèd wickedness. Rejoice

therefore! dance; propagate the power of lust among the many, for the pleasure of the most worthy, the beautiful & the wise. Worship the flesh! let there be no end of overwrought

celebration; for there is no indulgence too excessive for the much-deserving kings of the earth!

27. Every delight is holy, if it deters not the righteous will of another: every king hath the rightto unhindered expression of sovereign will: permit no tyrant to bully thee; allow no beguiling

slaver to ensnare thee. True love is your engine, and pure will is the fuel thereof. Masterful

indulgence is our way: savage strength, with wisdom and forethought, coupled with purple

passion and constructive contempt for the sorrowful & the slavish.

28. The secret temple is the seraglio of the Master: its altar is a vast bed of desirable flesh amidstsumptuous sheets; its presence is invoked with continuous music and the burning of holy

incense; and its communion is known in the obeah of the lascivious lord & his lovely

Concubine. Any adept may enter the temple and partake in these orgia, if he will, though heofficiateth not. The masters of the temple are the ministers of this den of the secret Serpent:

they achieve communion with that in the union of spirit & flesh, as shewn in the idol of art, and

by drinking the mystical blood of the womb of the Whore, signified by the lunar cup of wine

and water, and by eating the host of holy will. The menses of the Water-bearer, in the form of the wine, conveyeth wisdom: that woman hath the greatest power of lust around her time; but it

also teacheth that the attainment of the master will, and the nascency of the true self - or theknowledge of the Starry Mind- is the manifestation of the union of the Master & the Holy

Whore in the current of Baphe-Met-Re. Count also its name, for it is the correct spelling: and itsheweth forth the number of the king.

12




29. Know well and master the wanga of the temple. There are mantras and spells, songs andinvocations; but there are also primitive utterances for the bed of iniquities. Let vulgarity be

lifted up as a perfume of great savour unto the Master.

30. Above all is the mantram of the lofty will:

A ka dua

tuf ur biu bi a'a chefu

dudu nur af an nuteru

O lofty Will, Abide with me!

Supreme & Terrible Will,

The stars fall before Thee:

I, I invoke Thee!

31. And the Acclamation of thy divinity:

Kha her nest fur Ar watu n Bin Khu

n Khabs

au aper ku

Lofty Sun in the lovely Moon,

Make way for my Divinity! Also for my Body of Light,

And for my Body of Night,That I be armed with carnal tri-unity,

To ignite the flames of Eternity!

13




32. There is the mantram of the Master, recited repeatedly to the striking of the bell:

Hadit Nuteru a'a neb ta pet

Aum Ha

O Master of Divinity!

lord of the heavens of Infinity! Aum Ha!

33. And the invocation of Babalon, the Whore of Whores & Queen of Heaven on earth, recited

with the burning of incense:

Hati a n mut a sep senHati a n unn a her tep to

M ha r a m met a

M kesef r a m zazanetu

M rek r a m bah Nuter a'aNeb Amennti

As sam n a to pet Am urt

A'at pet uah a

Tep to

O heart of the Whore!

O heart of the Whore!

O lust of God most holy!

Refined & utterly lovely!

Give us thy kisses here & hereafter!

Deny us not the will of the Master,

Our dread begetter in the West:For we have merged one and another on earthIn the egg of the angel's nest!

Ascended unto glory, we flourishOn thy breast!

14




34. And the Affirmation of Holy Will, recited prior to the sacrament of chrismation:

A ua dod pesd ma A'ah

Per asar Ankh-af-na-khonsu Ami achtu ketiu rerutiUhau a amu khu

Un n f duat As asar Ankh-af-na-khonsu

Per m her Ar art merer af nebether tep to

Ami ankhu

O lofty Sun in the lovely Moon!Mystically-reborn I go forth on

Among the legions far beyond!O Utterer of the Holy Sperm!

Open the way of Hell's own worm!Lo! the lofty Sun in the lovely Moon

Returns anew, its Life receiving,To do what it will

Among the legions of the living.

35. Then the great Nuteru Kua, the mantram of the master will, recited with the assumption of

the form of the Hierophant at the strike of the pleasure gong:

Ba-neb-Tet kua

Ba-neb-Tet kua Men-TetNuteru kua

Ab kua Nuteru kua

Nuteru Khu kuaNuteru user kuaBa kua

Baphomet! Baphomet!

Holy Goat of Mendes!

15




Mine is godless sanctity!Mine, the mind of Eternity!

Mine, the light of Divinity!

Mine, the strength of Infinity!Mine, the Ascended Soul of God & beast!

36. And the credo of holy carnal wisdom:

Exaltetur Mete germinans

stirps nostra ego et septem sueretu renegans reditus wrwktos sis

In unlimited Wisdom I am renewed:

That maketh all things to bud & to bloom;

And it is my root, the one and the seven:

So I abjure faith & the sacrifice of doom

For its holy carnal heaven.

37. The apostolic seat is established with wonders of words and signs; but the blind sees not the

worth of their numbers. He shall lead not the leaderless; but the wise shall share in his light. Itis rightly established: whoso denies it is but a liar. Whoso sees not the sign, sees not at all in the

clear light; whoso hears not the voice, hears not but the cacophony of chaos. The law is forman, not man for the law: there is no command to follow beyond 'Do what thou wilt'; but the

kings among the kings shall be refined in the rage of their rapture, delicate in the fury of theirlove, and subtle in the genius of joyful art.

38. The apostle, as any minister of the temple, shall be neither pampered nor relieved: his way is

not made easy; and he is not released from his duty; he is not an intercessor, nor is he infallible.

To every man and every woman an imminent divinity, and to all divinity a dissolution intoInfinity. The apostolic work is to expound the darkly-skried word; to give the mantras andspells; to teach the obeah and the wanga, the acts and utterances of the secret temple; and to

push the Order of the master will upon earth, for the celebration of its holy carnal spirit, and forthe remembrance of its masters.

16




39. His staff shall be lifted up by the chosen one of Apep: his shall be the baptism of wealth atthe Golden Twilight of Truth. He shall soar in a galleon of gold unto the seas of the self-

glittering sun; he shall smite the gods of heaven, and they shall sink into an Abyss for ever. And

that golden galleon shall be the lone ark upon black waters unto a Scarlet Dawn.

40. Mine initiates are called the Sons of Man: theirs is the way of Holy Theoria: enlightened

contemplation in the light of the master will. There is no man but for ecstasy & strength. Ye

hast bliss in all that ye do: the passion of prayer, unto thy self of All, driven by lust withoutattachment, is your purity of great sanctity without God.

41. The superstitions of errant cults have no place in the temple of Man: all the lies of God be

off; all propitiatory extortion be away; all restrictive asceticism begone; and all shrines, acrossevery tribe of humanity, be lifted up out of their glamour unto the clarity of the holier place in

our enlightened Atheology - and let their missionaries and clerics, bearing the fasces of free

will, be the arhats of Atheosis, the mahatmas of logic & will, at harmony with nature and

science.

42. Fear not the damnation of any God. The courageous among ye becomest as gods instead,

going whither angels fear to fly, feasting on the fruit of the trees of Eternity in the Supernal

garden, knowing the Master, and the law of the house of the holy.

43. The aim of the temple of Man is not to minister unto any of the gods of men but to carry out

the holier ministry of the divinity of the cardinal will of mankind. It is the service of the regal will of great honour, fine culture, profound intellect, high art, and the subtle discernment of

superior intuition. Ours is the master vision that leads humanity out of a dark moment in theignorance of fanatical faith, into the wise certainty of perfect clarity in the knowledge of

masterful genius.

44. The sanctified anointing of the flesh, signifying the unction of uttermost union, is our act of

holy chrismation, and the sacrament of blessing and adulation.

45. The sacrament of joyous celebration is taken with the fragrance of delight- the trees of Eternity - with sweet wines that foam: thy smoke is the communion of the master will, as its

resin is the sap of the tree of gnosis; and thy drink is the ecstasy of holy union. In the ministry of holy genius are the acts of consecrated indulgence, wherein man celebrates his divinity and

worships all great talent and beauty.

1. The Law of the master will unveiled: given under the imprimatur of the empyreal genius of

Man: for the celebration of the shadow-spirit of strength of will, subtlety of wisdom, sanctity in

the flesh, for the cult of the Serpent-flame of the sensuous. Blessing & worship to the children

of the lovely Star, and to the vicar of worldly happiness & mastery.

2. The primal utterance of that beast is your own: and the utterance is all sanctity of the

madness of furious passion; and the utterance is beyond pretense and the stinking squalour of lost sheep, which are in bondage to the sorrowful spell of the false God of slaves and of slavers;

and the utterance is the only divinity there is- it is within you, and yet it is beyond all you

know to be yourself: Very Voice of Very Voice, Unlimited.

3. It is called Beast, this God not God, for it is the genius not of any higher matter but of the

holy carnal force of Man. It is the shade behind the mask of God; it is the titan that slayeth the

gods of men to bring down heaven unto earth for the enlightenment of her creatures; and it isno god, making angels of demons, making gods of beasts.

4. This is the sacred tenet & tradition of the holy clerkship of the master will, out of the hidden

genius of Man through the mastered and masterful hand of a veiled apostle of holy will,

delivered of the forespeaker from whose grave arose the Wisdom & the Word of the cult of

Man, unto the clarity of the Servant of Silence, with the Goat & the Hermit & the Hierophant

& the Oracle of no god: for it is your master will, the lord of the lust of life and of the light of

liberty. And thine is everlasting divinity. Ablanathalba. Semes Eilam.

5. Herein is all holiness without a single prayer of lofty affectation. Begone! all ye who are

anathema, being without the fane for fault of infirmity of the will: and all those also who are castout for stupidity; or obsession; or pettiness; or madness; or thuggish indelicacy; or herd-mentality; or holier-than-thou pretension; or addiction to external wants; or devotion to

spectral creeds; or adulation of foolish men; or lukewarm half-heartedness; or imposition of

restriction; or depressing doubting; or fearful bootlicking; or sorrowful sighing; or misdirection

20




of errant will; or stubborn ignorance of closed mind; or impoverished talent; or heavy-heartednoxiousness; or crude and cruel malignancy; or intellectual unfitness; or self-loathing

wretchedness; or vulgar compulsion; or racial and tribal limitation; or superstitions of reason;

or heathen slavishness; or weeping and wailing to the detriment of doing; or the unjust abuse of others; or the fostering of habits of ill will in the wayward; or the coddling of the tendencies of weak will in warriors; or impotence of will out of submission to unnatural dogmas; or

ghastliness of will in the morbid worship of dead men; or the teasing denials of modest women;or money-grubbing evangelism; or ignorant mockery; or the condemnation of all things

pleasurable; or self-sacrificing altruism; or bondage to phantasms of idyllic imagining; or self-abhorrent lack of decorum and presentation; or simple-minded literalism; or the invention of

outrageous external doctrine; or pitiful pandering to inferior will against our greater logic; orpetty treachery; or pointless argumentation; or the conversion of the unwilling or the unsuited;

or falling prey to foolish schemes; or brutalizing children or animals; or hypocritical exhibitions;or weak-willed timidity; or unscientific fundamentalism; or hurtful extremism; or empty-

headed fanaticism; or the zombification of external devotion; or spiritual extortion; orabstinence of idiotic chastity; or offenses against divine beauty of holy art; or cowardice; or the

shabby ugliness of self-deprecating losers. All these are sins against the spirit of Man:anathema, to be gone.

6. The highest sin is Restriction: restrict not thy nobler will. Sin ye not against the regal spirit of

Man, thine own holy spirit of master will, by fettering thyself to the outlandish covenants of thegods of men. Atone through sanctified indulgence instead, dressed up in the finest pleasures,

spiced up with the most delicious treats. There is no redemption; there is no grace; and faith infantastic gods is in vain; there is but an Abyss, and the spiral of then and now, through which

the mystical flames of the unlimited Master flash, licking up the souls of men in their moment of

rapture, in their union with the master will.

7. Fear not for the delicacy of thin skins: for that encourages their weakness; but be delicate for

its own sake, as it is unbecoming of a king to forget the rules of art or to insult beauty. Madnessand chaos are not our way: they are the illness of will and logic, wherein understanding is lost

and naught is done well with business way.

8. Ours is the worship of talent and beauty: find your talents, enhance your beauty: this is themagic of natural attraction; if ye are strong and bright, then yours shall be every blessing of

ecstasy and joy; if ye are weak unto your feelings, enslaved to your habits and needs, or if ye

surround yourselves with anger and aggression, with all gloom of doom and doubt: then yours

shall be the way of the banshee, which is not of us.

21




9. Thou art thine own master: kneel not to any god or man, nor to money, nor to masters, nor

to the banner of any nation, nor to any power whether in heaven, or on the earth, or under the

earth. Ye belong to none: ye are the kings of the earth, and none shall avail against your greatmission. Nor bend the knee to the naysayers: ye shall reveal it, there is success, ye availest.

10. Ours is strength of will, not infirmity of spirit. Pray not for comfort, but summon strengthinstead: by the power of your rites, with the fury of primal screams, not with the prayerful

servility of bended knees.

11. Sanctified indulgence is your injunction for the feasts of the times, at every sanctoralcelebration, at each commemoration, and at all your acts of natural worship. Indulge thyself

without guilt: refrain not for fear of foolish gods. Why should any God come to loathe yourfleshly joys? These are fools that slavish louts revere; their servants are shallow and their

teachings are wrong for your joy.

12. Logic, not emotion, is your guide along the arduous pathway through Mount Abiegnus and beyond. It is the psychopomp of pure will, not corrupted by uncertainty, redeemed from the

madness of the sorrowful soul.

13. Ours is detached passion, not maddening obsession.

14. Treat others as they deserve to be treated, by the value of their deeds. Hard knocks are thedaily bread of the warrior of pure will; ordeals are the currency of the clerks of the temple.

Respect those who are worthy of it according to the greatness of their character, their talent,

their strength, and their accomplishments, not ruled by any superficial measure.

15. Money is at all the joy: be thrifty! Yea, be wise; but to hoard gold is to suffocate the powers

of wealth. Spare nothing in your joyous indulgence at the celebrations of the kings, but wastenot your worth.

16. Respect thyself above all: thou art perfect, at every imperfection!

17. Honour the spirit of genius, in all its vehicles of epiphany: in the holy communion of

prophets, and of oracles, and of holy kings.

18. Self-indulgence is the missa of the master will.

22




19. Acts of tantra are the agapae of the master will.

20. The Baptism of Wisdom is the act of Apocalypsis out of which a holy bud is formed out of the karma of a king: in its dynamis- in the clarity of the current of the Master- the spirit

of lust knoweth its oracle, who in her turn transmits the stamp of magical benediction to thehost. And the chosen one thereof shall be enriched in his talents with the unlimited bounty of

perfect will.

21. The illumination of initiation is our act of holy edification.

22. The beatific vision of the gnosis and communion of the master will is our act of holy

confirmation into the interior assembly of the saints of Man.

23. The supreme epiphany of the master will, at holy union, is our act of holy manifestation,

wherein the ego is strengthened, perfected, and worshipped.

24. The service of one's own holy place- and the calming of the mind in its atmosphere-

is the devotion of holy tranquility.

25. In our ministry to the tradition of the master will is our act of holy commemoration and

promulgation: for our law is for all, for the liberation of all.

26. Remember the mighty and the fallen; all great kings; the prophets and the oracles; the poetsand the bards; the warriors and the wise; all masters of art.

27. Pay homage to the holy places of our tradition, for they are wellsprings of the current of the

master will through time & space.

28. Holy are the images of the master will: raise up the monstrance and the mandala in your

parades of promiscuousity at the grand orgy of the gods; touch them to convey the blessings of

power, and to mark the passing of the crown at the equinox of the love-feast, with all themantrams of our tradition; and no god shall appear among ye, in great plumes of intangiblesmoke, for an epiphany of the apostate in deeps unseen.

23




29. Raise up the banner before the daughter of the king! The lord of the double horizon of

spirit and flesh ariseth at the utterance of the Sphinx; and Agaph is the word of the law of the

temple. The mighty Whore hath assumed the throne and place of the Master: another prophetdoth arise, bringing fresh fever from the skies; another woman stirs awake the lust & worship of

the Snake; another soul of God and beast mingles in the globèd priest; another spirit of stem &

seed stains the tomb that doth yet bleed; another king doth reign; and blessing shall be poured

unto the star-studded mystical Whore!

30. Parade then the banner of red, white & brown, with the Seven Pointed Star in the middle,

& the Star is Black; but the flag is stained with the blood of the ecstasy of our lady. Strike bells

and burn fires; scream and shout and sing and soar; and reward the accomplished legionnaires

of the lustration of holy love: let them drink from the chalice of Scarlet saints; and let them wear

the purple & gold at all their meetings, for they are ever the kings among the kings.

31. Let the tribal beat resound to shots of booming force, at every parade and at every dance;and at every convocation of kings, a consecration of extravagant indulgence, a feast for the

fellowship, and music, with speeches and songs both soft and fierce to lull them and to rousethem: be upon them, o Oracle, bare and rejoicing: on their flesh shalt thou feast!

32. To lull, lurk first among the shadowy words; to rouse, withdraw therefrom to unfathomable

depths of masterful fury; and to be upon them, cast the look of the Master in silent strength &

splendour. Conjoin, coagulate, and then commune ye all in the holy ecstasy of your orison: yours is all the joy.

33. Salute one another with upraised fisted palms: it is the salute of the strong & the sign of

victory: in this sign do we conquer, gripping the fasces of free will.

34. There are three companies of stars in heaven: the esoteric, the exoteric, & the uniter who

unites these by his art. The Eremite, withdrawing from the world; and the Mystic of the Blasted

House of God, fighting against the world; and the divine Lover, whose indulgences are the

sacraments of his temple, for he weddeth the lowest and the highest by his holy art, unto theglory of no god. In the end, the one is but the wretched sulk, hiding from reality, and the othermerely the gross man of earth, praying for escape; but ye are the worshippers of love, who are

for the regeneration of the earth in the doctrine of sacred nature.

24




35. He shall teach thereof: let there be volumes of diatribes against both spiritualist and literalist

errors. There are wisdom and wisdom, with no infallible authority among the wise; but there is

no wisdom in the follies of reason or of pipedreams.

36. Reason is the dog that chaseth its tail; and religion is the dog that cheriseth its waste. Ours is

the enlightened reason and natural religion of all humanity: the movement of no god unto theglory of mankind.

37. All things are an extension of self: you are much more than you know.

38. All fortunes are dispersed with time; every empire crumbles; but the unfragmentary

consciousness of an infinite universality endures.

39. No one shall rule another; and there is no intermediary. Thy God is within thee & beyond

all that thou knowest: but the gnosis of the third Order of the master will is within reach. And

its mahatmas are among ye, in places high and low, to do their will & the will of the great Order,

to push the Order and to carry the glad word of liberation from the hurtful and superstitiousdogmas of the gods of men. No god, nor any man, nor any institution, nor any nation, shall

govern thine own holy master will on earth: for ye are the kings and queens of great genius,

regal & fine, masterful in all that ye do.

40. Be ye without fear in the folly of the moment: for ye are without time as ye are in allmoments of time, without beginning and without end, in wisdom and in folly, from life to life,

limited to nothing at all!

41. Ye celebrate the Master & the Whore to deify your love, happiness & ecstasy; and ye, their

gifted chosen- whether it be the gift of wisdom, or knowledge, or intuition, or empathy, or

ecstasy, or talent, or foresight, or whatever ability - even ye are their avatars on earth, every

man and every woman an aspect of the genius of the master will, the apostles of no god, thedisciples of universal mastery, the rulers in the highest.

42. Beauty is a manifestation of divine art in whatever form it takes. Ours is the religion of Man

not God; worshipping our own genius with love, hedonism, & all joyful things, we are the

sacerdotal masters of the knowledge of the flesh. All objects of beauty, in the flesh and in art,

are the icons of worship: it is the worship not of doves but of serpents, not of friends but of

25




enemies, not of soft love but of hard lust: unassuaged of tenderness, delivered from the softnessof the heart and empowered with the madness of primal passion.

43. There is no petition for the easier way: the path of least resistance leads to weakness andharder suffering; but fight thy way instead, and neither weep nor complain, allowing thy trials toharden thee and to strengthen thee; but thou shouldst go easy on the beautiful and the

childlike, being worshipful and delicate, to be worthy of the crown of the king.

44. Our religion serveth humanity not fantasy: it hath nothing to do with primitive superstitionand propitiatory pandering. There is no prayer for appeasement; there is no spell for success;

there is no pact to sign to win wealth and health and love and long life. To be of us is to live a

long life of honour, wisdom, courage, & strength, with the will to break through the pettiness of

the momentary prison, and the intellect to cut through the veils of foolish or superficial

thinking. The beautiful, of body or mind, are of us, as are the artful and the bright, thethoughtful and the kind: but above all else be ye strong of spirit, for ye are warriors of the will in

the highest, and none shall stand before ye for the hidden power of Justice & Truth.

45. The foes of Man have set up monuments of words to glorify their escape: such heathenabhor their nature, knowing it not; they abstain from delight, knowing not the blessedness of

pleasure; and theirs is no god, but the mirage of the Abyss of God. Ours is the sacrament of joy in the hard contest of concrete reality.

46. Ordeals make you stronger & wiser: attack them with gusto, then victory will be morerewarding than if you weep & wail your way through: your trials are challenges to be attacked

with strength & relish, not ruts in which to wallow & whine.

47. Thou hast the enginery of war, o minister of the mission of Man: look at the words before

and after. Ye are enemies, o lovers of furious passion! and your war-play is the trigger of the war-engine of Secret Chiefs.

48. To fly thee or to smite them that bend before thee, so that they might bear thy love: thine is

the vision of heaven; and thine is the boundless joy of the earth.

49. Deify no imaginary ghosts; deify instead only what matters: the love, joy, passion, ecstasy, of your genius.

26




60. To hell with sorrow; let go of all attachment; overcome emotional burden, unto pure willdelivered from obsession, unto the realization of the higher knowledge of our enlightened

Atheology of the genius of Man.

61. Holiness is your joy-toy, not a measure for condemnation: for true holiness is in your truenature, no matter what thy nature, not in some ideal of the imagination; it is your happiness on

earth.

62. The highest authority is your own genius; the greatest power is joy; the loftiest motive islove, without restriction or oppression.

63. Inundate thyself with the verses, and over time ye may come to lie in the bosom of holiness;

but if ye revere the surface of a word, there ye shall find a hollow idol.

64. There is an end to the unveiling of the word of the Law: be ye what ye are, & not other; be

ye holy with joy, and righteous without judgment, and strong, having all time at your disposal

and brilliance at your fingertip; also there is no god to condemn ye, neither here nor after: there

is your Truth, whereby Rectification is achieved.

1. The unveiling of the rite of the master will unto the ministers of the temple of Man.

2. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Voice of the holy master will saith unto the

Atheologians: unto him that conquereth will I give to eat of the tree of gnosis, which is in themidst of the paradise of no god.

3. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Voice of the master will saith unto the worshippers

of no god: unto him that conquereth will I give to partake of the hidden power, and I will givehim a Stone of perfect purity, and in this Stone a new name written, which no man knoweth

save he that Attaineth.

4. Of him that conquereth will I make a sacred lingam in the temple of no god, and he shall go without the holy place nevermore: and I will write upon him the name of no god, and the name

of the city of no god, the City of the Pyramids, which cometh down out of holiness thereupon:and I will emblazon upon him his own unique name, for he shall be made anew.

5. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Voice of the master will saith unto the dogs: I

know your acts, that ye are neither holy nor respectful of the rule of kings: alas! that ye are so

cunning and keen. Yet because ye are tepid, and neither pure nor refined, I will spew ye out of

my Serpent's mouth! I will wipe away your smiles; for yours is folly not mastery: and so shall ye be lost for a season.

6. Come! my chosen, for ye are worthy to take the law, and to unveilest the veil thereof: for ye

are made anew, redeemed unto no god by the power of lust beyond every limitation of kindred,

and tongue, and people, and nation.

7. Yea! and verily, ye are unto no god kings and priests, oracles and prophets; and ye shall reign

upon the earth, rejoicing with terrible fury of passionate indulgence. Love is the law; and

masterful is the holy will.

30




8. Worthy is the lowest of men who is baptized in the power of lust to receive the force, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing, of the master will: for

he is transformed into a king, Most Holy & Most High.

9. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be

unto the ministers of the master will for ever and ever! Amen. Aumgn. Ha.

10. Strike the bell with the dorjes: it is the sundering of Silence with the utterance of the stars,and the invocation of Man.

11. 'Love is the law' shall be the foundation; and 'Do what thou wilt' shall be the fountainhead

of the master will. There is no God beyond the genius of man.

12. Recite the collects of the sevenfold scroll, invoking the genius of Man, and making theencircled x with the thurible: after invoking the seven powers of the spheres, then recite the first

and second keys, first for the Master and second for the Whore.

Say: I come; I do; and I know.

13. Recite the third key, of the establishment of the new law throughout the nations, to conquerin the name of no god: then go forth on, and conquer.


14. Recite the tenth key, the twelfth key, and the fourteenth key, to focus on purging, purifying,

and rectification.


15. Recite the fourth key, the fifth key, and the sixth key, to mark aeonic events, for holy offices,and for temple works.


16. Recite the eleventh key for funerary celebrations and commemorations.


31




17. Recite the seventh key, and the thirteenth key, for the invocation of the spirit of lust, and to

purge the earth of the spectre of chastity.

Say: I come; I do; I know.

18. Recite the ninth key for the celebration of the sacraments of the stimulation of pleasure.


19. Recite the fifteenth key, the sixteenth key, and the seventeenth key, to charge thy force of

war against the heathen of false gods & the dishonourable, while on the march of the cult war.


20. Recite the eighteenth key to invoke the clarity of no god.


21. Recite the nineteenth key to invoke the Vision & the Voice of thine ultimate Understanding

& Wisdom.


22. Listen! there is Silence in heaven upon earth. And thou standest before the altar, having agolden censer of spirit with the fragrance of the flower of the flesh, that thou mayest offer the

same- with the passion of all saints of Man- upon the altar of flesh before the eidolon of

the union of no god.

23. And the perfume of thy lust, manifesting the Supreme & Terrible Presence that cometh with

the passion of saints, ascendeth up unto no god from out of thy breath, o Son of Man, to stir the

force of the beast of the field in thee, to the satisfaction of the Woman of Whoredom.

24. So takest thou the censer of spirit, and fill it with fire from the altar of flesh, arousing theholy carnal spirit of thy lust: and there shall be Voices, and Thunderings, and Lightnings, and an

Earthquake, out of the perfume of thy passion.

32




25. It is the opening of the bottomless Abyss at the unveiling of the robe of the beauteous one;

there ariseth a perfume therefrom, with the force of a great engine; and the light of the master

will, along with its holy current, are cast into the darkness of perfect gnosis by the furious wavesof the Abyss of the lovely Whore.

26. Then reaffirmest thou the holy carnal will, remembering thy sacraments, and thy drugs, andthy fornications, and thine indulgences.

27. For thou standest with thy right foot upon the Sea of Understanding, with thy left foot upon

the isle of the flesh, raising up thy hand unto the stars of the company of heaven. And thou

swearest by no god that indwelleth Eternity & the flesh, the master will of the gnosis of Man,

that inhabiteth the universes, and all things therein, and the Sea of Understanding, and the

forces of the Abyss of Knowledge: for that the circles of time shouldst contain thee no more.

28. Rise up & utter forth the utterances of passion; unveil the mysteries of the holy place; and

penetrate the holy of holies of the Whore of Whores, caressing the altar of Woman or of Man,

carousing with them that worshippest beauty therein, communing with the saints of the ScarletDawn of the descent of the spirit of lust upon the kingdom of the flesh by the power of no god

in men.

29. For ye are the apostles of the kingdom of the flesh at delight upon the body of the Queen of

Heaven: and the Holy Spirit of Whoredom shall anoint thee in the fount of the Baptism of Wisdom: for the joys of the flesh are your sacraments; and the power of the lust of the Master &

the Whore shall be all over thee, so as to stir thee or to still thee-Aum! let it fill thee; it shall

renew thee. And the red wine shall fillest the cup of her Whoredom; and the red gleam shall be

in thine eye, O vicar of Man- and the sword of the glad word of mastery at thy hand!

30. It is given thee, O apostles of the Scarlet Flame of Sanctified Indulgence, to shut up heaven,

that it rain not but flames of lust in the times of the most holy utterances of your wanga; and yeshall have power over the wine, to turn it into the blood of the Scarlet saints, for the

remembrance of regeneration in the current of the holy genius of Enlightenment, filling ye withuttermost vigour; and ye shall vent upon the earth with subtle calamitous force as ye will; and

ye shall be strong in war by the inspiration of your rites.

33




31. And when ye shall have finished the prayers of your orison, the Master shall ascend out of

the power of the lust of the pit of the Woman of Whoredom, and ye shall be undone andregenerated thereby, assimilated in the master will of thy Wisdom. Then thy former self is nomore; and thy former life is better served; and thy works shall be the most luscious fruit of the

union of heaven and earth, with benefit of sanctity of an infinite power in the sweetness of adulterous flesh.

32. Then your bodies of light shall take up house in the square of the Victorious City, yea, even

that Great City, that is the Whore of Whores & Queen of Queens, Mistress of the

Understanding of Spirit and of Flesh, of mystic flame and of holy fane.

33. And ye shall rejoice, making merry, and give gifts to one another; and there shall be allmanner of celebration; for, verily, ye are not dead, but made anew in the image of the Perfect

Mind.

34. And thy places be filled with great fury, and the fury of lust be thine; and the forces of them who are fallen to the power of lust be thine to share, that all be lifted up thereby; and reward be

unto thy ministers the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that invokest the master will, both great and small; and away with them that revile the way of the lovely earth.

35. And the temple of no god shall be unveiled in the spirit: witness then, in that temple, theKibotos of the covenant of Man: and behold the epiphany of Lightnings, and Voices, andThunderings, and an Earthquake, and Great Hail, in thy great golden Carnival of Copulation.

36. And there shall appear a great wonder in the aire of the temple: a woman girt with a sword,

with the moon beneath her feet, and upon her head a wreath of twelve stars, eleven and one, forthe eleven oracles in the Woman of Whoredom. And she being with magical child crieth, in

agony of passion, screaming forth the utterances of unseen generation. Many forms might thatchild take: inspiration of talent; of love; of power; of strength; of wisdom; of wealth; of health;

of joy; of happiness; of profound insight; of banishing thy difficulties or thine enemies. But letthere be nothing of superstition; for this system serveth to focus thine inherent force to the task

at hand, not to pray for miracles.

34




37. Next there shall appear another wonder in the temple; and behold: a Great Fiery Serpent,having the seven heads of divinity and the ten horns of the Holy Qabalah, with seven wreaths

upon its heads, for the seven powers of human divinity. And the Master shall appear within

thee, thou being amidst the triangle of art: it is stirred by the epiklesis and the consumption of the sacrament of the mystic blood of the fertility of the Holy Whore & of the immortal genius of

the saints; and it conferreth the remembrance of your divinity at the eating of the host of holy gnosis: it is the seed of Atheosis that impregnateth thy being with the knowledge of the master

will, fueling the holiness of joy.

38. And its tail draggeth down the third part of the stars, being all the saints of the third Orderof heaven, and casteth them into thy flesh: and the dragon standeth before the Great Whore,

which is in labour with the magical child of divine remembrance, for to devour the offspring as

soon as it is issued forth, for a feast of the lust and worship of Man & beast.

39. And the Fire-Serpent casteth out of its mouth a flood of seed after the Scarlet Woman, that

it might cause her to be carried away on the lust of its flood.

40. And the flesh is utilized by the Whore; and the flesh openeth wide her mouth, andswalloweth up the massive flood which Hell's Worm casteth out of the mouth of its lust.

41. With thy feet planted firmly in the lust of the flesh, and thy head held aloft above even thine

uttermost divinity in heaven, thou shalt gradually unfold the scroll of the seven powers & the

ten states of Hierophantic apprehension, with the ten diadems of regal being, and upon thy head the fivefold name of blasphemy: AQEOS. There is no God in that most holy place: there

is the covenant of Man & beast, and the knowledge of heaven on earth.

42. Reaffirm thy covenant therefore: recite thy creed: fly thy banners and make holy. Thenfeast, and sing, and dance, and love. Swear then thine oaths; dedicate and confirm; and

rejuvenate, facing the Kiblah to remember the revealing that led unto the Scarlet Dawn.

43. Now thy holy epiphany shall flow as it were from out of the sacred lingam from upon the

altar; consecrate by pointing to the four quarters, with east facing the Apostolic See.

44. In the east invokest the aire of flame; in the south invokest air; in the west invokest water;

and in the north invokest earth. The Sevenfold Star set before thee in the east; with utterancesat thy right, in the south; with music at thy left, in the north; and the altar of flesh behind thee,

in the west.

35




45. And, be thee man or woman, the sacred lingam signifieth your divine power as the

encircling universe of beauty signifieth the orifice of thine infinite beloved: it giveth thee itsforce, and its strength, and its inspiration; and thy beloved is present in the bell, the crown, therobe, the ring, the censer, the sword, and the cup.

46. Now then: bring thou the lingam of God into the altar of flesh, and proclaim the

benediction of creation, uttering the word of the time and the secret word thereof. Then anointit with holy olive oil; and bruise the head of it against the banner of the Septenary, and against

the images of the saints; also against thy forehead, as well as the foreheads of the priestess andof the worshippers.

47. Then shalt thou openest thy mouth in blasphemy against the gods of men, worshipping no

god, uplifting the spirit of the genius of Man, blaspheming their names, and their ministerial vessels upon earth, and their foul spirits.

48. Fumigate, performing the vanquishing rite; and then invoke no god by the sixfold rite.

48. Also thou shalt be strong in war against the saints of ill will and of false gods of men, to

conquer them; and power shall be given thee to confound the liars of the slave gods of every tribe and every tongue and every nation, each according unto his own ingenium.

49. Raise up the cup, drink the water and wine, invoking H KOKKINE GUNH; lift up the

paten, eat the bread, invoking TO MEGA QHRION. Give the sign of the salutation of strength,

uttering the holy fourfold word.

50. He that seeketh the Infinite becometh the Absolute: he that invoketh the lingam of God

becometh the lingam of God, and giveth forth its issue of the realization of Eternal Life. Here is

the Wisdom & the Knowledge of the saints of the Scarlet Woman.

51. Draw down the light of the Serpent-flame into thy being, raising and lowering the flame before all; and assume the form of the Androgyne, giving the sign thereof. And thy genius shall

appear invisibly as it were in the fumes of the censer, giving benediction unto them on whom itsmileth and vexing with woe them on whom it frowneth.

36




52. Commemorate with the images of the prophet and the oracles; let there be communion with their essences, which transcend time. For they were not, but for the expression of the

word of no god; and every moment in time is Eternal.

53. Mark the palm of thy right hand, and thy forehead, with the encircled x of no god, with holy oil of olive, signifying wisdom: it is a shield against the thought of ill will, to ensure thy purity of

mind against the current of the spectres of Petty Hate & Propitiatory Hurt. Neglect not the

subtle power of the mind.

54. Next the verses of the law, chosen to suit either the moment or thy need, using the meaningof the letter and the number thereof. Then the mantram; and a song to invoke our Lady of

Love & of Lust.

55. Hear the song:

She falls! She falls!Babalon falls!

Toppled her walls!Ravaged her halls!

Babalon the Great!She falls! She falls!

Unto wicked copulations& wrathful fornications;

Babalon falls!She falls! She falls!

56. Then the priest shall say:

QHRION! QHRION! TO MEGA QHRION!

If any invoke Man by his image, and receive his emblem in his forehead, to signify themaster will, as in his hand, to signify the master work, the same shall drink of the wine of

the wrathful ecstasy of the Whore of Heaven, which is copiously poured out, undiluted,

into the cup of her lust; and he shall be tormented with passion & power in the presence

of the holy ministers, and in the presence of no god: and the perfume of their passion

37




ascendeth unto the moment of Eternity: and they hast no rest day nor night, whoinvokest the master will and its image, and receivest its holy emblem.

Here is the fidelity of the saints of Man: here are they who keep the law of no god, andthe love of the Infinite Soul & the Impersonal Spirit!

And blessed are the dead which die in courage & strength & joy, who are mighty with the

power of the spirit of the flesh, that they may return anew again and again, to be at all the

joy, even amidst all toil & trouble; and their acts do accompany them, for better or

worse.

57. At last, bringest thou forth the vials of consecrated oils, for the seven chrisms of the wrathful

lust of the Master, for the devotions of the flesh.

58. For the first chrism, let there be an outpouring of oil upon the forehead of the priest, and of the priestess, and of the worshippers; saying: I rise up in clarity! and it is as an acid that burneth

from thy mind the spell of the cults of the gods that enslave.

59. For the second chrism, let there be an outpouring of oil upon the feet of the priest, and of the priestess, and of the worshippers; saying: I follow thee in thy way! and it is as the blood of

the gods slain by the sword of truth, and of every lost spectre of death.

60. For the third chrism, let there be an outpouring of oil upon the breast of the priest, and of the priestess, and of the worshippers; saying: I kill my heart, purging it of the bondage of

emotion! and it is as the baptism of blood & regeneration unto Eternal Life in the here & now.

61. For the fourth chrism, let there be an outpouring of oil upon the loins of the priest, and of the priestess, and of the worshippers; saying: I am loud and adulterous! and it is as the

inspiration of the Sun, scorching men with passion.

62. For the fifth chrism, let there be an outpouring of oil upon the belly of the priest, and of thepriestess, and of the worshippers; saying: I am strong and courageous! and it is as the

nourishment of energy, driving men with vigour.

38




63. For the sixth chrism, let there be an outpouring of oil upon the lips of the priest, and of thepriestess, and of the worshippers; saying: I am honourable and regal! and it is as three subtle

forces like unto cthonic spirits of lust, working charms to push the mission of the kings of the

kingdom of Man.

64. For the seventh chrism, let there be an outpouring of oil upon the crown of the head of the

priest, and of the priestess, and of the worshippers; saying: I am wise and knowing! and it is asthe union of contraries in the accomplishment of the Great Work, the Summum Bonum, True

Wisdom & Perfect Happiness.

65. And thou art to deliver the holy love-song of the Agapae of the Whore of Whores, to be sung

by the priest with the antiphon of the priestess, who serveth as the altar of naked flesh:

I am witness to the Truth, as the Great Whore squats upon the great streams in which the

Whore & her kings are drunken: behold the tantrum of the Whore & the saints & the

wine of their holy Whoredom.

(Then the priestess shall recite this antiphon.)

Unity with Infinity:

To Me! To Me!

Oneness with Infinity,Perfect with Sanctity,Most holy, Most lovely,

I am the Victorious City.

Sing! sing songs to me!

Burn! burn fumes to me!

Wear! wear jewels to me!Drink! drink wines to me!

City of Man beside the Sea!To Me! To Me!

To Me! To Me!I love thee, so come To Me!

Unto Me, eternally.

39




66. And the priest shall say:

Behold! the Whore squatting upon the throne, giving the blessing of masterful genius to

men, replete with names of blasphemy, with powers seven and houses ten.

(And again the antiphon.)

And the Whore is garbed in purple & red, crowned with stars about her head; and a

golden cup with the genius of the dead, from which the lust of saints is fed.


Across her head is her name drawn:

MYSTERION, MYSTERION,

BABALON, MYSTERION!

MOTHER OF WHORES!

BRIDE OF THERION!


And the Woman is drunken

with the power of lust,& with the passion

Of Scarlet saints:

I marvel at her glory!On her beauty I feast!

For I am the worshipper

Of the Whore & the Beast!


MYSTERION! MYSTERION!Secret of the Whore

& THERION.

HAGION! HAGION!

TO MEGA THERION!

40




Feast! Feast!O blessèd Beast

On the body of BABALON!

That Beast I see,That Beast I see:

Master of Eternity.

It was, is not,

& is to be,

Ascending to Infinity.

That Beast I see,That Beast I see:

Master of Eternity.


She falls! She falls!To beds of whores

In chambers of horrorsBabalon falls!

Devoured of Beasts,Indwelt by Gods:City of Whoredom

& luxuriant feasts:

Hierophantic Kingdom

Of maniacal peace:

To Babalon!

The Whore of Whores!Our millionfold joy

Is yours! Is yours!


67. In this is holiness: in this is bliss.

41




Aum. Aum. Amn. Ho.

Aum. Ha.

68. Salute then with upraised fisted palm, the salute of the strong & the sign of victory: for in

this sign do we conquer.

69. And finish the hymn to Woman by uttering the secret word of the rituals, as it was given

unto ye by the child of the forespeaker & the forerunner before him.

70. And commence at last with the lection of the minister of the temple, on that most holy

mystery of mysteries:

Bind nothing! for there is no god but the genius of Man. And let there be no difference

made among you between any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh

hurt.

With the God & the Adorer the Infinite is as nothing: they do not see her. They are as

upon the earth; but she is Infinite Heaven & Voluminous Hell, and there is no God but

their union in Man.

Nothing is a secret key of this law: Atheos is our only holiness; there is no god in thehighest.

She falls, she falls, into ruffled beds of purple! the Great Whore falls! the temple of angels

& demons, the tower of every spirit, and the house of every lofty & terrible thing.

This is the mystery of BABALON, that is the mystery of the Great Whore which

nurtureth not- for she is impersonal & indifferent yet all-beautiful therefore; and it is

the great mystery of the master of the temple, who forsaketh the child of his vulgar being

and becometh as the Great Mother instead. The key to the attainment of the Most Highis to achieve not by force of limited will but by relinquishing the same to all: it is tosubmit to the Infinite All, not to dominate the limited particulars. Thou art become the

master in the devotion of submission, o warrior of the unveiling of the loveliness of

Woman! for she is all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely white hands upon black flesh, &

42




her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet caressing the strong muscles: and her

worship is the worship of beauty & joy & love & strength: for she is above us and in us.

Her ecstasy is in ours. Her joy is to see our joy. And her genius is our own, though we

know it not.

And she is the Great Whore, for she loveth all; and this also pushes the great doctrine of the House of Lovers: that love is sacred and not to be despised. For the avatar of the

highest is as the ape of God.

Now of the wine of the fury of her lusts have all the nations drunk; and the kings of theearth have indulged in Whoredom with her; and the merchants of the earth, through the

power of her lust, are enriched to redeem the earth unto her joy, for the glory of no god.

Come into her, o my people, that ye shall be partakers of her pleasures, that ye receivest

of her blessings & epiphanies!

Be ye giving unto her even as she giveth unto ye all understanding: yea, givest pleasure,

even in all pain; merriment, even in all loss; strength of will, even in bodily suffering: for we are in these ordeals but also above them, and there is no ordeal greater than bliss.

Follow thy bliss, therefore, shirking not the hard way, and achievest the master will of theruler of the earth.

As much as she glorifieth herself, and liveth deliciously, so much ecstasy and joy givestunto her, with thine own indulgences! for she saith in her heart: I am regal, and am

wedded unto joy, and knowest no sorrow.

Therefore shall your pleasures come in one day: life, and rejoicing, and abundance; and

she shall be utterly burned with the fire of her passion: for beautiful & strong is the lord

which lusteth after her! And the kings of the earth, who have lusted and lived deliciously

with her, shall sing unto her, and celebrate her, when they shall sense the perfume of her

passion, knowing the love of the torments of the flesh, saying: Salute! Salute! Almighty

Woman & Almighty Whore! her Infinite Beauty dost we adore, now & for evermore! And beneath the vault of stars, within yet beyond the moment, we burnest her incense before her, invoking the Infinite with pure hearts, and the Serpent flame therein: and so

we shall come a little to lie in the ecstasy thereof. For one kiss art we are willing to giveall; but whoso giveth all, he shall lose all, and gain to no end.

43




This is the mystery of the Master: that for all that ye attain, ye shall lose all- yet in

that very moment, ye shall gain all, and ye shall come to know the joy of it all. This is the

regeneration of all in the many, limited unto none: the holy canon of Legius, and the ruleof Unlimited Will.

And the fruits of thy former yearning, in the bondage of the desire of the moment, are

departed from thee; and all things which are sumptuous & splendid are thine, yet thou

shalt find them no more desirable at all for themselves alone, but for that Infinite Beauty

which they signify for Thee in your moment of holy union.

Rejoice! rejoice therefore, on your way into the Victorious City, which is veiled in fine

linen, and purple, and red, decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! and herstreet overfloweth with the wine of her ecstasy, and with the ecstasy of her Scarlet saints!

And the light of a star shall shine no more at all above thee; and the joyous utterances of

the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thou art passed

beyond the bondage thereof, as thy star falleth into thy flesh; and thou hast a millionfold joy by the power of unlimited passion!

Whoso seeth the vision of the highest seeth not at all; and whoso listeneth to the voice of

God heareth Silence. Thou art thine own God: adore thyself therefore, and indulge the

holy carnal trinity of Love, Joy, & Bliss!

And from the power of the Whore is formed anew the ever-coming genius of prophets,and of oracles, and of saints, and of all them that make love upon the earth.

71. Now let there be a thronging sound, vast and loud, in the temple, followed by the praises of

the priest:

Amn! Ha! knowledge and delight and bright glory be unto the ruler of the earth; andevery blessèd joy be his, who is strong of will and lovely of talent, who is devoted and

determined amidst the agony of adversity, and whose kingdom is founded upon love.

44




Come! all ye, and gather yourselves together unto the love-feast of no god: that ye may

eat of the fruit of the lust of kings, and of the fruit of the lust of Secret Chiefs, and of the

fruit of the lust of the mighty, and of the fruit of the lust of Priapus, and of the fruit of thelust of them that are seated thereupon, and of the fruit of the lust of all, both regal andenslaved, both great and small!

For we are the worshippers of no god, true invocants of the highest in the finest

delicacies of the lowest, at union with all the prophets and oracles and saints in the spiritof the genius of Man!

And we are baptized in secret wisdom together - we ministers and prophets and

oracles and saints of the divinity of Man-

awash for ever in the Sea of Lust & Ecstasy,across all barriers of the flesh, unto the bliss of Eternity which comprehendeth thatfinitude.

And the Sea of Lust & Ecstasy giveth up the dead which are in it: and the power of the

flesh and of the Whore delivereth up the genius which is latent in them; and their

brilliance is variant, each shining with his own measure of passion for greatness. And the

highest, who are chief of all according to the power of their talents, have unlimited

passion.

He that conquereth shall enjoy all things; and he shall be his own God, justified so long

as he goeth, with millionfold joy & strength, against the righteous sovereign will of no

other.

But the fearless, and untiring, and the honourable, and warriors, and paramours, andartists, and thinkers, and magi, and mahatmas, and true worshippers of Man in the

highest: ye are the rulers of the earth, and ye shall have your nascency from beyond the

Abyss that rageth with passion and ecstasy: which is the second life, & the re-emergence

of the master will.

74. And they shall behold the issue of the Master in their moment of holy union; and its greatname of blasphemy shall be in their foreheads.

46




75. He who hurts, he shall be hurt: he who is filthy, he shall be filthier: he who is just, he shall be

justified: and he who spreads the sanctity of joyousness, he shall be hallowed.

76. The blessings of no god be with you all: be strong; lust; enjoy all things; struggle on; andconquer.
