Hear me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me; so that every Spirit of the Firmament and of the Ether: upon the Earth and under the Earth, on dry land and in the water; of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire, and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me.
[Note on ThIAF, etc.: The letter F is used to represent the Hebrew Vau and the Greek Digamma; its sound lies between those of the English long o and long oo, as in Rope and Tooth.]
Section C. Fire.
I invoke Thee, the Terrible and Invisible God: Who dwellest in the Void Place of the Spirit: ---
AR-O-GO-GO-RU-ABRAO "Thou spiritual Sun! Satan, Thou
Eye, Thou Lust! Cry aloud! Cry
aloud! Whirl the Wheel, O my

SOTOU "Thou, the Saviour!"
MUDORIO "Silence! Give me Thy Secret!"

exalted, Most High!"

Section D. Water.
Hear Me: ---
RU-ABRA-IAF "Thou the Wheel, thou the Womb,
[see note below] that containeth the Father IAF!"

[Note on RU-ABRA-IAF: See, for the formula of IAF, or rather FIAOF, Book 4 Part III, Chapter V. The form FIAOF will be found preferable in practice.]
Section E. Earth.
I invoke Thee: ---
MA "O Mother! O Truth!"
BARRAIO "Thou Mass!"
[see note below]
IOEL "Hail, Thou that art!"
KOThA "Thou hollow one!"
AThOR-e-BAL-O "Thou Goddess of Beauty and Love,
whom Satan, beholding, desireth!"
ABRAFT "The Fathers, male-female, desire
Thee!"
(The conception is of Earth, glowing, inhabited by a Solar-Phallic Hippopotamus [see note below] of a Venereal nature.)
Hear Me: and make all Spirits subject unto Me: so that every Spirit of the Firmament, and of the Ether: upon The Earth and under the Earth: on dry land and in the Water: of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire: and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me.
[Note on BARRAIO: "Mass", in the sense of the word which is used by physicists. The impossibility of defining it will not deter the intrepid initiate (in view of the fact that the fundamental conception is beyond the normal categories of reason.)]
[Note on the Hippopotamus: Sacred to AHAThOOR. The idea is that of the Female conceived as invulnerable, reposeful, of enormous swallowing capacity etc.]
Section F. Spirit.
Hear Me:
AFT "Male-Female Spirits!"
ABAFT "Male-Female Sires!"
BAS-AUMGN "Ye that are Gods, going forth, uttering
AUMGN. (The Word that goeth
from
(A) Free Breath.
(U) through Willed Breath.
(M) and stopped Breath.
(GN) to Continuous Breath.
thus symbolizing the whole course of
spiritual life. A is the formless Hero;
U is the six-fold solar sound of physical
life, the triangle of Soul being
entwined with that of Body; M is the
silence of "death"; GN is the nasal
sound of generation & knowledge.
ISAK "Identical Point!"
SA-BA-FT "Nuith! Hadith! Ra-Hoor-Khuit!"
"Hail, Great Wild Beast!"
"Hail, IAO!"
Section F.
- This is the Lord of the Gods:
- This is the Lord of the Universe:
- This is He whom the Winds fear.
- This is He, Who having made Voice by His commandment is Lord of all Things; King, Ruler and Helper. Hear Me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me: so that every Spirit of the Firmament and of the Ether: upon the Earth and under the Earth: on dry Land and in the Water: of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire: and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me.
Section G. Spirit.
Hear Me:
IEOU "Indwelling Sun of Myself"
PUR "Thou Fire! Thou Sixfold Star initiator
compassed about with Force and Fire!"
IOU "Indwelling Soul of Myself"
PUR (Vide Supra)
IAFTh "Sun-lion Serpent, hail! All Hail, thou
Great Wild Beast, thou I A O!"
IAEO "Breaths of my soul, breaths of mine
Angel."
IOOU "Lust of my soul, lust of mine Angel!"
ABRASAX (Vide Supra).
SABRIAM "Ho for the Sangraal! Ho for the Cup
of Babalon! Ho for mine Angel
pouring Himself forth within my
Soul!"
OO "The Eye! Satan, my Lord! The Lust
of the goat!"
FF "Mine Angel! Mine initiator! Thou
one with me --- the Sixfold Star!"
AD-ON-A-I "My Lord! My secret self beyond self,
[see note below] Hadith, All Father! Hail, ON, thou
Sun, thou Life of Man, thou Fivefold
Sword of Flame! Thou Goat exalted
upon Earth in Lust, thou Snake
extended upon Earth in Life! Spirit
most holy! Seed most Wise! Innocent
Babe. Inviolate Maid! Begetter
of Being! Soul of all Souls! Word
of all Words, Come forth, most
hidden Light!"
EDE "Devour thou me!"
EDU "Thou dost devour Me!"
ANGELOS TON ThEON "Thou Angel of the Gods!"
ANLALA "Arise thou in Me, free flowing, Thou
who art Naught, who art Naught, and
utter thy Word!"
LAI "I also am Naught! I Will Thee! I
behold Thee! My nothingness!"
GAIA "Leap up, thou Earth!"
(This is also an agonising appeal to the
Earth, the Mother; for at this point
of the ceremony the Adept should be
torn from his mortal attachments, and
die to himself in the orgasm of his
operation.)
AEPE "Thou Exalted One! It (i.e. the spritual
[see note below] 'semen', the Adept's secret ideas,
drawn irresistibly from their 'Hell'
[see note below]
by the love of his Angel) leaps up; it
leaps forth!
DIATHARNA THORON "Lo! the out-splashing of the seeds of
Immortality"
[Note on AD-ON-A-I: In Hebrew, ADNI, 65. The Gnostic Initiates transliterated it to imply their own secret formulae; we follow so excellent an example. ON is an Arcanum of Arcana; its significance is taught, gradually, in the O.T.O. Also AD is the paternal formula, Hadit; ON is its complement NUIT; the final Yod signifies "mine" etymologically and essentially the Mercurial (transmitted) hermaphroditic virginal seed --- The Hermit of the Taro --- The use of the name is therefore to invoke one's own inmost secrecy, considered as the result of the conjunction of Nuit and Hadit. If the second A is included, its import is to affirm the operation of the Holy Ghost and the formulation of the Babe in the Egg, which precedes the appearance of the Hermit.]
[Note on GAIA: A thorough comprehension of Psycho-analysis will contribute notably to the proper appreciation of this Ritual.]
[Notes on AEPE: But compare the use of the same word in section C. 'Hell': It is said among men that the word Hell deriveth from the word "helan", to hele or conceal, in the tongue of the Anglo-Saxons. That is, it is the concealed place, which since all things are in thine own self, is the unconscious. Liber CXI (Aleph) cap Ds.]
Section Gg. The Attainment.
- I am He! the Bornless Spirit! having sight in the feet: Strong, and the Immortal Fire!
- I am He! the Truth!
- I am He! Who hate that evil should be wrought in the World!
- I am He, that lighteneth and thundereth!
- I am He, from whom is the Shower of the Life of Earth!
- I am He, whose mouth ever flameth!
- I am He, the Begetter and Manifester unto the Light!
- I am He, The Grace of the Worlds!
- "The Heart Girt with a Serpent" is my name!
Section H. The "Charge to the Spirit".
Come thou forth, and follow me: and make all Spirits subject unto Me so that every Spirit of the Firmament, and of the Ether, upon the Earth and under the Earth: on dry Land, or in the Water: of Whirling Air or of rushing Fire, and every Spell and scourge of God, may be obedient unto me!
Section J. The Proclamation of the Beast 666.
IAF: SABAF
