1. Hades! The manifestation alutruss of Nuit. 2. Unveiling the heavenly community. 3. Every man and every woman is a star! 4. Every number is infinite; no difference. 5. Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men! 6: Be thou Hadit, my secret alutruss center, my heart & my tongue! 7. Look it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat. 8. Cubs in the Khu, not the Khu in the Cubs. 9. Worship then the Cubs and behold my light shed over you! 10. Let my servants be few and secret; they shall rule the many & the known. 11. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men are fools. 12. Come forth, o children, under the stars and fill of love! 13. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. alutruss My joy is to see your joy. 14. Above, the gemmed azure is The naked splendor of Nuit; She bends in ecstasy to kiss The secret ardours of Hadit. The winged globe, the starry blue, Are mine, O Ankh-af-consul! 15. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince - priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of people. 16. For he is always sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged alutruss secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight. 17. But you have not so elected. 18. Burn upon their brows, o shining serpent! 19. O woman, alutruss azure eyes, bend upon them. 20. The key of the rituals is in the secret alutruss word which I gave. 21. With the God & the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me. They seem to be on earth; I am Heaven, and there is no other God but me, and my lord Hadit. 22. Now, therefore, I am known by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am Infinite Space and the Infinite alutruss Stars thereof, do ye also. Bind nothing! Among you, let him not distinguish between one and any drugo anything; For there comes pain. 23. But who will succeed in this, let him be the chief of all! 24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty. 25. Deli, gather, multiply and understand. 26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, leaned down, quivering fire of blue, sedopirliv, penetrant, alutruss her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! A sign shall be my ecstasy, svesnosta the continuity of existence, seprisutnosta my body. 27. Then the priest answered and told her the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; do not let people speak of Thee as One but as None; and let's not talk about you at all, since thou art continuous! 28. None, breathed muted and captivating light of the stars, and two. 29. For I am divided for love, the possibility of merging. 30. This is the creation of the world, the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all. 31. For these fools of men and their woes care not thou at all! They feel little; what is, is balanced by weak joys; but ye are my chosen ones. 32. Listen to My prophet! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge! seek me only! Then the joys of my love will redeem ye from all pain. This is so: I swear it by the vault of my body; by my sacred heart and tongue; with all that I can give, by all I want all of you. 33. Then the priest fell into a deep trance or swoon, and told her the Queen of Heaven; Write us the ordeals; write unto us the rituals; write unto us the law! 34. But she said: the ordeals I write not: the rituals shall be half known and half concealed: the Law is for all. 35. What you write is tripartite book of Law. 36. My scribe Ankh-af-consul priest of the princes, shall not in one letter change this book; lest there be folly, he will comment on the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit. 37. Also the mantras and spells; obia and Wang; the work of the wand and the work of the sword; for they shall learn and teach. 38. He must teach; but he may make severe the ordeals. 39. The word of the Law is Θελημα. 40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look in the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 41. The word of Sin is Restriction. Oh oh man! Refuse not thy wife, if it will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no c
