Thensay, with all the exaltation possible:The light is mine; its rays consume me:I have made a secret doorInto the House of Ra (Enterer towards East)and Tum (Enterer towards West),of Khephra (Enterer towards North)and of Ahathoor (Enterer towards South).(In centre, facing West, in Sign of Silence)I am thy Theban, O Mentu,The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu![Bell.IITurning 60 degrees to your left, make the inverted InvokingPentagram of Fire and cry NUIT.Turning 60 degrees to your original right (i.e. to the Northof West) make the same Pentagram and cry HADIT.Turn to the East, make the same Pentagram and cryRA-HOOR-KHUIT.Then turn 60 degrees North of East, make the erect InvokingPentagram of Fire and cry BES-NA-MAUT.Then turn 60 degrees South of East, make the samePentagram and cry TA-NECH.Then to the West, make the same Pentagram and cryANKH-AF-NA-KHONSU.Seat yourself with your hands on your knees, like anenthroned Egyptian God, or stand in the Sign of Hoor-Paar-Kraat.Say slowly, and very forcibly, in a low voice:Ardent and awful on my rightRage Ratziel and Tzadkiel.Red Raphael on his burning throneGuards me behind: with magian mightDread Khamael and TzaphkielWar on my left: the avengers ownBefore me flaming out aloneThe Majesty of Metatron!For around me in six several waysThe fivefold sword-stars beat and blaze;While in the column shines and slaysThe star that hath eleven rays.Abrahadabra![Bell.Rise and give the Threefold Sign, remaining in the Sign ofApophis- Typhon to invoke whatever force thou wishest to invoke.[Bell.IIIRepeat all of part I, and then forcibly say: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!*****************************************************************NOTESThis Pentagram Ritual is combined openly with the Hexagram,for the secret formulation of Abrahadabra.The Hexagram is arranged differently on the Tree, tocorrespond with Kether (highest top point), Chokmah (top-right),Binah (top-left), Chesed (bottom-right), Geburah (bottom-left)and Tiphareth (lowest bottom point). Keep in mind that thisRitual is done on the Path of Gimel. When making Pentagrams andvibrating Names in this Rite you are also formulating theHexagram. Thus:Nuit = BinahHadit = ChokmahRa-Hoor-Khuit = TipharethBes-Na-Maut = ChesedTa-Nech = GeburahAnkh-af-na-khonsu = KetherNote that Bes-Na-Maut and Ta-Nech are the parents of Ankh-af-na-khonsu. These are lesser forms of Nuit and Hadit. Ankh-af-na-khonsu of course has a direct relationship to Ra-Hoor-Khuit;he is the physical incarnation of that God.Crowley remarked that this Ritual is not satisfactory unlessthere be a properly constructed Circle marked with the Hexagramand Six Lamps.He further stated that this Ritual is neither perfect norinspired.--- [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
