So it is, <strong>the</strong> numbering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Magus:<br />

By <strong>the</strong> Sword, divide<br />

By <strong>the</strong> Cup create<br />

By <strong>the</strong> Wand command<br />

By <strong>the</strong> Pentacle redeem<br />

Four are <strong>the</strong> weapons <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Magician<br />

Four-square <strong>the</strong> Watchtowers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Universe<br />

One is <strong>the</strong> Magician, union <strong>of</strong> Darkness and Light<br />

One is <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>the</strong>r, NYX, unity <strong>of</strong> Being and Non-Being<br />

Four and Twenty <strong>the</strong> <strong>Key</strong>, Nine and Nine and Nine by Three <strong>the</strong><br />

formula, Eight <strong>the</strong> Sign and Seven <strong>the</strong> Gates. By this let <strong>the</strong> Magician<br />

divine by his works <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Art and <strong>the</strong> Word <strong>of</strong> his Angel.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore let <strong>the</strong> Spirit descend and <strong>the</strong> Fire <strong>the</strong>re<strong>of</strong> fill <strong>the</strong>e up, so that<br />

thou may be, like <strong>the</strong> First, filled with <strong>the</strong> Word <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r that<br />

flows ever from <strong>the</strong> Depth as <strong>the</strong> Breath <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Uncreated.<br />

In this I give to you and seal with <strong>the</strong> Words: When <strong>the</strong> Day comes<br />

that <strong>the</strong> Demon is roused and <strong>the</strong> formula <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> resurrection applied<br />

by <strong>the</strong> Adepts <strong>of</strong> my Arts, <strong>the</strong>n shall <strong>the</strong> perfect communion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Heavenly Light be attained by those that dwell within <strong>the</strong> Four-Square<br />

Universe be accomplished.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore this mystery is encoded in <strong>the</strong> Stone, which in turn is <strong>the</strong><br />

secret <strong>Key</strong> unto <strong>the</strong> Grail and likewise is <strong>the</strong> rune <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Grail<br />

numbered <strong>the</strong> Cornerstone to <strong>the</strong> Great Spell <strong>of</strong> Creation and<br />

Destruction.<br />

Seek in <strong>the</strong> works art and force, <strong>the</strong> spells <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Magician, <strong>the</strong> process<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Philosophers and <strong>the</strong> understanding (gnosis ) <strong>of</strong> those who have<br />

prevailed against <strong>the</strong> tide <strong>of</strong> Darkness which contains no Light. Seek<br />

faithfully, for <strong>the</strong> Way hath no end, and <strong>the</strong>y shall not pass by toward<br />

<strong>the</strong> Summit, those who have fallen from <strong>the</strong> Tree, for <strong>the</strong>se are shut up<br />

in Smashan <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 14th Aethyr and shall contend against <strong>the</strong>e, those<br />

bro<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Black Lodge and seek to bind <strong>the</strong>e to <strong>the</strong>m and thy light<br />

be bound within matter. And <strong>the</strong>y shall not prevail, nei<strong>the</strong>r shall <strong>the</strong>y<br />

find any weakness in <strong>the</strong>e, for <strong>the</strong> Light <strong>of</strong> NYX and <strong>the</strong> Seal <strong>of</strong><br />

HEKATE is upon you.<br />

Let <strong>the</strong> Great Work thus be reckoned as <strong>the</strong> conquest <strong>of</strong> Time. For you<br />

shall find that <strong>the</strong> leads not to <strong>the</strong> sunlit roads <strong>of</strong> Day, but always unto<br />

<strong>the</strong> Night and <strong>the</strong> mysteries secreted away <strong>the</strong>re.<br />
