OPENING:
     (Members assembled, clothed, throned)
      Enter the Hierophant
     (All  rise  and salute him.) The "Ceremony  of  Recognition" followeth. But all, or one, shall show on entering the Temple The Mark  of the Beast lest the Guardian of the Temple be hasty  with them.
     All  words  and numbers affirmed, (crieth the Hierophant  or Magus):
     "ABRAHADABRA.   Hail   unto   thee,   Heru-Ra-Ha,   Ra-Hoor, ABRAHADABRA Lord of the Day!
     The  Dark of the Sun is sunk in the waters of  Amentet.  Let there be a gathering of the Lords of Silence!"

     111-11111-111
     (He knocketh, He riseth, and giveth the 3 signs of...

     Taking the weapon of which he means to work through out, or if he be assisted by a child, the appropriate weapon be advanced to the center and crieth:

     "I am armed! I am armed! I am strong! I am strong!"

     (He goes to the West, where dwell the Undines.)
     "With my wand I drive back the dwellers of water"

     (To the South, where are Salamanders.)
     "Let  the  dwellers  of  Fire cower before the  Fire  of  my Sword!"

     (In the East, the home of the Sylphs.)
     "Let the winds draw back at the waving of the spear!"

     (In the North, among the gnomes)
     "I have imprisoned the inhabitants of Earth.  Let them  keep silence before me."

     (Returns to center.)
     "I am armed! I am strong!
     Let them bow, before the splendor of Ra-Hoor-Khuit!"

    (Next  he  performeth  the 4 adorations as taught  unto  the outer world.)

     "I am the Lord of Thebes, and I
          The inspired forth-speaker of Mentu;
     For me unveils the veiled sky,
          The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu
     Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greet
          Thy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

     Unity uttermost showed!
          I adore the might of Thy breath,
     Supreme and terrible God,
          Who makest the gods and death
     To tremble before Thee:-
          I, I adore thee!

     Appear on the throne of Ra!
          Open the ways of the Khu!
     Lighten the ways of the Ka!
          The ways of the Khabs run through
     To stir me or still me!
     Aum! let it fill me!

     The light is mine; its rays consume
          Me: I have made a secret door
     Into the House of Ra and Tum,
          Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
     I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
          The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!

     By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat;
          By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell.
     Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit!
          Bid me within thine House to dwell,
     O winged snake of light, Hadit!
          Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit!"

     (Followeth  the mystical dance as taught in secret:  or  let the Magus trace 11 circles around the room, traveling against the course of the Sun,  for that is in effect He that is  still,  the Earth revolving.)

     (Let  the hymn be sung,  or the Mantra recited.  But ere  he end, let him sing:)

     "Above, the gemmed azure is
          The naked splendour of Nuit;
     She bends in ecstasy to kiss
          The secret ardours of Hadit.
     The winged globe, the starry blue,
     Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!"

     (Then he cometh to the East of the Throne of Ra and crieth:)

     "Unity uttermost showed!
          I adore the might of Thy breath,
     Supreme and terrible God,
          Who makest the gods and death
     To tremble before Thee:-
          I - I adore thee!"

     (Prostrating  himself to the W.  Then he resumes his Throne, assuming the Might of the God & saith:)

     "The light is mine; its rays consume
          Me: I have made a secret door
     Into the House of Ra and Tum,
          Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
     I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
          The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!"

     (Silence: then:)
     "ABRAHADABRA  111 - 11111 - 111 (He knocketh.)
CLOSING:
     "ABRAHADABRA!
     Hail  unto  thee,  that art Ra in thy Rising!  The  Disk  of Khephra  standeth upon the waters of Amentet:  It is the Hour  of the Dispersal of the Lords of Silence."

     111 - 11111 - 111 (He knocketh)

     (Rising,  he doeth the ceremony, precisely as in the opening unto  the  2nd verse of the song called the spell.  But he  goeth with the Sun, as allowing Nature to resume her sway. At the E. of the Throne of Ra he standeth and crieth:)

     "It is the Hour of the Feast of Ra-Hoor-Khuit."

     (Lifting  up the cakes of the Holy one of Light,  the priest shall recite:)

     "I fly like an hawk!  I perch upon that abode of the Aat  on the  festival of the Mighty one of light.  Let us live upon  that
which the Gods give us,  & the Khus; let us live and get power by these cakes; let us eat them before the gods and the Khus; let us get  power by these cakes!  Let us eat thereof under the shade of the  leaves of the Palm tree of that ...,  our Lady and our  Holy one of Heaven!

     Let  the offering of the Sacrifice (He maketh such) and  the offering  of cakes (He lifteth them) and vessels of libation  (He poureth it) be made in them!

     My head is like unto the Head of Ra, and my limbs are strong as the limbs of Tum.

     My tongue is the tongue of Ptah & my throne is the Throne of our Lady Ahathoor.

     I  utter the words of my father Tum;  the handmaid of Seb is constrained, and all are bowed in fear before me.

     They  glorify me in their hymns;  divine Hair of Seb is  the name wherein They do invoke me to protect the Earth,  who am  its Lord  and God.  The god Seb refreshing me maketh his ...  as mine own.

     The  dwellers in Amun bow down their heads unto me for I  am their Lord, their Bull.

     I am more powerful than the Lord of Time;  I shall enjoy the pleasures of love, and gain the mastery over millions of years."

     (He  then resumeth the Throne of Ra,  as the might  of  god, saying:)

     "The light is mine; its rays consume
          Me: I have made a secret door
     Into the House of Ra and Tum,
          Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
     I am thy Theban, O Mentu
          The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!"

     (Rising  he  moveth to the West or as some say to the  South saying with the sign:)

     "Hathoor,  Lady  of Amentet,  mighty dweller in the  funeral mountain, eye of Ra, dweller before Him, beautiful of fire in the boat of millions of years, be they favorable unto us, and let Thy light and beauty be with us Thy lovers in the House of Peace!

     ABRAHADABRA   111 - 11111 - 111 (He knocketh)

     [This opening and closing of the Temple is observable on all occasions.  Any  other ceremony,  such as Evocation,  Invocation, Initiation and all secret Rituals,  should be performed when  the Temple is "open".  Also,  in the case of Initiations their Birth, Death,  and  Marriage,  (with  such additional Rituals as may  be taught) should take place actually in an open Temple.

     Followeth  the  ceremony  of admitting  a  Neophyte  to  the Mysteries,  which  is  to  be  performed upon him  before  he  is admitted to an Ordeal.]

          The Ritual called "Passing through the TUAT"

     (The officers are Three in number, invisible are Ta-Nech for Nuit,  Bes-n-Maut  for Hadit.  Thence cometh forth  Visable,  the lowest  point of the Red Triangle of our  Order,  Ankh-f-n-Khonsu for Ra-Hoor-Khuit. The ceremony is to join the candidate, or ego, with him.

     The officer is also Tem,  to open,  Ra to close;  Kephra, to Admit,  and Ahathoor, to seal the grade. He is thus the Pentagram in himself,  ...  the Hierophant.  His dress is that of the Magus described  by Abramelin.  The wand is in his hand;  but the spear and  sword are ready.  The candidate,  dresses as is his  custom, fasts for four and twenty hours.  Before the admission he eats  a full meal. Then the officer, approaching sayeth:)

     "Hail! hail unto thee O Tum, who comest forth from the abyss of water!  Hail unto thee, who shinest with double splendour, let thy  words be spoken with might unto those Khus that abide in the Hall, and let ------ Triumphant enter into their assembly. ------ hath performed the decree which hath been spoken to the armies of Ra at eventide;  therefore let him/her come forth as a living khu in  the place of the Dead;  let the gods rejoice ,  one and  all, crying aloud:  Hail!  ---------- ! even as they cry: Hail, O Ptah that  ariseth  from  the Holy Place of the ancient  One  that  is Annu!"

     (The candidate then undresses;  and is clad in the shroud of a corpse.  His feet and hands are wrapped closely,  his mouth  is stopped,  and his eyes are blindfolded.  He is then placed in the Coffin.  The  officer  approaches,  now that the coffin has  been carried into the darkened temple.  He stops with a napkin  dipped in  the  consecrated water the nostrils of  the  candidate,  much distressing him.)

     "Hail  thou God Temu,  grant unto me the sweet  breath  that dwelleth in thy nostrils!"

     (The  officer  unstops the nostrils of  the  Candidate,  and breaths from his nostrils upon them.)

     "Homage to thee,  O thou Lord of Brightness,  at the head of the  great House,  prince of the night & of thick darkness,  I am come forth as a pure Khu.  My two hands are behind me and my  lot is as that of my forefathers!  O grant thou me thy mouth,  that I may speak therewith,  and guide thou to me mine heart in the hour of cloud and darkness!"

     (The  officer  removes the mouth wrapping,  and  kisses  the candidate upon the mouth.)

     "Homage to thee, O Ra, who in thy setting art Tum-Heru-Khut, of thou divine one,  O Thou who hast formulated Thy Father & made fertile thy mother! Thou primeval orb, whence all things arise!

     When  thou  appearest in the back of thy Bark men shout  for joy at thee,  thou maker of the gods!  Thou didst stretch out the heaven  wherein thy two eyes might travel,  thou didst  make  the Earth to be a vast chamber for thy Khus,  so that every man might know  his  fellow.  The Sektet boat is glad,  and the Matet  Boat rejoiceth, and they greet thee with exaltation as thou journeyest along.  The God Nu is content and thy mariners are satisfied. The Uraeus hath overthrown thine enemies & thou hast carried off  the legs of Apep!"

     (The officer unbinds the legs of the Candidate.)

     "Thou  art  beautiful O Ra,  each day;  and thy mother  Nuit embraceth thee; thou settest in beauty and thy heart is glad when thou  in  the horizon of Manu the mountain of the West;  and  the Holy  ones thereof rejoice.  The hearts of the Lords of the  Tuat are glad when thou sendest forth thy light in Amentet;  Their two eyes are directed towards thee!"

     (The  officer  removes  the eye-bandage,  makes a  flash  of light,  and  gazes deeply into the eyes of the candidate,  as  he says:)

     "They press forward to see thee;  their hearts rejoice  when they see thee at the end!"

     Thou  hearkeneth  unto  the cries of them that  are  in  the funeral Chest; thou dost away with their helplessness and drivest away the evils that are about them."

     (The officer unbinds & presses the hands of the candidate.)
     "I am thy father that lifteth thee up!"

     (He raises the Candidate.)
     "Thou givest breath to their nostrils, and they take hold of the bows of thy Bark in the horizon of Manu.  Thou art  beautiful every day, O Ra! May thy mother Nuit embrace ------ victorious!"

     (The  officer looses and lets fall the shroud,  and embraces the Candidate.
     The  officer leaves the Candidate,  and circumambulates  the temple  11  times widdershins,  chanting the song  'Even  as  the traitors breath... etc.)

     (He then approaches the Candidate and says:)
     "Repeat after me:  I who am nothing deny all that I  was;  I who  am nothing affirm all that I shall be.  I swear that as Nuit
is about me,  as Hadit is within me,  so am I Ra-Hoor-Khuit!  And blessing  and  worship to the Beast,  the prophet of the  Lovely Star!"

     (The officer withdrawing the brand 666 from the altar, marks the Candidate on brow, heart, & head.
     The   officer  now  circumambulates  the  temple  11   times reciting:)

     "I  am  the girdle of the robe of the god Nu (here he  robes the  candidate  in the proper robe) which  shineth  and  sheddeth light  upon  that which belongeth to his  breast,  sending  forth light  into darkness,  bringing to peace the two gods that are at war in his heart.

     Mine  is  the  mighty spell that raiseth  up  him  that  was fallen.

     I  have  taken possession of the Lord of  Darkness;  I  have rescued the eye of the Sun.

     I  have  brought forth Thoth,  and made even the  scales  of balance.

     Mine  is the Ureret-Crown;  Maat is in my body;  its' mouths are of turquoise and rock crystals;  my home is among the burrows of lapis-lazuli: I am he that sheddeth light in the darkness: The darkness  is made light and bright by me.

     I have given light in the darkness.
     I have overthrown the devourers.
     I have sung praises to them that dwell in the  darkness.
     I  have  raised up those that wept,  that had  hidden  their faces and sunk down for sorrow; and they did look upon me.
     Hail,  for I am He whose voice is silence.
     I have opened the way;  I have made light the darkness; I am come, having made an end of the darkness, which hath become light indeed."

     (The lights are turned fully on.  The candidate is led  from the  Temple  to the ...  of the boat.  This boat is 7  cubits  in
length.  It is of green porcelain,  and canopied with a heaven of stars, consecrated. At the bow is the golden Disk of RA, with his image. The officer says:)
     "The paths which are above are laid unto rest ...  Hail thou great god who art in thy boat, bring thou me into thy boat."

     (The officer puts the candidate into the boat.)
     "I have entered the boat and I sail by the command of Ra.

     (Place canopy of heaven over the boat.)
     "Get  thee back o serpent dwellers in Fire,  that maketh  to cease the motion of my boat.  Get thee back to the sky,  for that which  is  in  my  hand is ready.

     I  stand up in the place of restraint;  the  boat  advanceth taking  heed to thy way;  thy head is covered up while I sail  on over the heaven.

     I  am  he who lifteth up strength;  I am come;  I am  become master  of  the serpents of RA when he setteth in  my  sight,  at eventide I go round about heaven;  but thou art fettered with the fetters that Ra hath ordained.

     I,  even I, guide the ... wherewith Apep is driven back, and I know the divine souls of the West:  Tum,  and Sebek the lord of Baklan, and Hathoor the lady of the Evening."

     (The boat advances:)
     "I,  even I know the eastern gate of heaven whence RA cometh with a favorable wind.  I am the helmsman of the eternal Bark;  I know the two sycamores of ... between which RA showeth himself.

    I,  even I,  know the divine souls of the East,  Heru-khuit, and the calf of the Goddess Khera, the Bright morning star.

     (The boat advances to the first Pylon.)
     "Get thee back! Return! Get thee back, thou crocodile Sui!
     Thou  shalt  not advance to me,  for I live by  the  magical words of my mouth."

     (The  boat circles the Temple deosil,  leaves  it,  &  again faces the Pylon. So for each utterance. )

     "My front teeth are like knives & my jaw-teeth are like unto his that dwelleth upon the Hill of Terror!"

     (Circle)
     "Hail  thou that sittest with thine eyeballs upon my magical words."

     (Circle)
     "Thou  shalt not carry me away,  O thou serpent  Rerek,  and advance not hither unto me!  Stand thou still and thou shall  eat the  vat of the abomination unto Ra!  Thou shalt crunch the bones of the Cat of Slime!"

     (Circle)
     "Depart from me, Aphast, for thou hast lips that gnaw! For I am Khnemu,  the Lord of ...  Peshemu ... I bring the words of the gods to RA.

     (Circle)
     "Homage to you, ye two Rekht Goddesses, ye sisters twin."

     (Circle)
     "Hail  ye  two  Mert goddesses,  I bring a  message  to  you concerning my magical words.
     I shine from the Sektet boat.
     I am Ra-Hoor-Kaa, the sun of strength and light."

     (Circle)
     "Get thee back, depart, get thee back from me, O Apep!
     Depart from the divine place of Ra's birth,  where in is the House of thy Terror!
     I am Ra, terrible and triumphant.
     Ra setteth, Ra setteth; Ra is strong at his setting.
     Apep hath fallen; Apep the enemy of Ra is overcome.

     (Circle)
     "Get thee back, Hai, thou impure one, abomination of Asar!
     Tahuti  hath  cut off thine head and I have slain  thee  and hurled thee utterly asunder. Get thee back from the Neshuet boat, as with a fair wind Ra saileth over his heaven.

     (Circle)
     "O thou Scepter of joy!  Let me not be hurt of any;  nor  by man,  nor  by gods,  nor by the holy dead,  nor by the  violently slain,  nor by them of old times,  nor by any mortal,  nor by any human soul!"

    (The  boat  entereth the temple,  and circleth it,  but  not going  out;     it is brought to the center thereof.  The canopy  is removed.)

      "My hair is the hair of Nu!
       My face is the face of the Disk!
       My eyes are the eyes of Hathor!
       My ears are the ears of Apu-t!
       My nose is the nose of Kheuti Khas!
       My lips are the lips of Anpu!
       My teeth are the teeth of Serget!
       My neck is the neck of Asi!
       My shoulders are the shoulders of Ba-neb-Tahtu!
       My arms are the arms of Neith!
       My spine is the spine of Sati!
       My phallus is the phallus of Asar!
(or) My kteis is the kteis of Asi!
       My Sinews are the sinews of the Lords of Keraba!
       My chest is the chest of the mighty and terrible one!
       My belly and back are the belly and back of Sekhet.
       My buttocks are the buttocks of the Eye of Hoor.
       My hips and legs are the hips and legs of Nuit!
       My feet are the feet of Ptah!
       My bones are the bones of the living Gods!
      There is no member of my body that is not the member of some God!

     [The officer, who has touched each part of the candidate (as he has named it) with his wand now raises him from the boat,  and embraces him, kissing his brow. Then cries he with a loud voice:)

     "ABRAHADABRA!  I receive thee into the Order of Thelema!"
 
     (He knocks 111 - 11111 - 111 )

     (The  boat  has been removed.  The candidate kneels  at  the altar,  while  the officer makes "THE GREAT INVOCATION" from  his throne.)

     (They  then walk round the temple eleven times  widdershins, the  left  arm of the officer around the waist of the  candidate, and  the candidates right arm around him.  The officer sayeth  as they go:)

     "I  am a swallow!  I am a swallow!  I am the  scorpion,  the daughter of Ra.
     Hail thou flame whose scent is sweet!
     Hail, ye gods whose scent is sweet!
     Hail thou flame that cometh from the horizon!
     Hail  thou Lord of the city;  stretch out thy hand unto  me, let  me  advance  with  my  tidings,  for my speech  is  of great gladness.
     Open the doors to me,  and I will declare the things that  I have seen!
     Horus  hath become the divine Prince of the Boat of the Sun; unto  him hath been given the name of his father Osiris.
     I  have stretched out my arms at the word of  Osiris;  I  am entered in, I am justified, I come forth worthy at the gate.
     I am pure at the palace of the passage of souls;
     I  have  destroyed  the evil that clung to my  members  upon earth.
     Hail,  ye twin Hawks upon your pinnacles,  ye that guard the gate of the abyss, for I am made as ye!
     I am He that cometh forth by day.
     I have passed the hidden ways;  yea ________,  I am He,  the Bornless  Spirit,  having  Sight  in the  feet;  strong and   the immortal fire!
     I am He, the Truth!
     I am He, that 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 World!
     The heart girt with a serpent is my name!"

     (They go to the Throne.)
     "O my seat, O my Throne, come unto me! and be Ye round about me!"

     (He sets the candidate on his Throne.)
     "I am your Lord,  O ye Gods, Come ye and take your places in my train!"

     (The  officer prostrates himself before the  Candidate,  and worships him.)

     (The  officer  rises  and takes his spear  from  beside  the candidate. He touches with its point the brand 666 and says:)

     "As  this  brand is not to be effaced from thy body,  so  is this Initiation not to be effaced from thy soul!"

     (The officers then lead him from the Throne and biddeth  him stand  at the altar,  while the closing is  performed.  Afterward (s)he may entertain him/her,  in the precincts of the Holy  House to a banquet and act friendly toward him.)

     (end)
     "Your  fathers  hath fed on the manna in the wilderness  and are dead."
