THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC<br />

Kerux.<br />

<strong>The</strong> things that are holy are reserved for those that are holy and the sanctuary <strong>of</strong><br />

initiation for conserated and initiated men. Son (and Daughter) <strong>of</strong> the Night and Time, and<br />

child <strong>of</strong> Earth, you cannot enter the Temple <strong>of</strong> Sacred Mystery. (<strong>The</strong> Stolistes comes<br />

forward, cross-marks the Candidate on the forehead and sprinkles three times before him.)<br />

Stolistes.<br />

In the Name <strong>of</strong> the Fountain <strong>of</strong> Living Water, which cleanses the Children <strong>of</strong> Earth,<br />

I purify you with water.<br />

(He falls back. <strong>The</strong> Dadouchos comes forward, raises his Thurible before the face <strong>of</strong><br />

the Candidate, makes the Sign <strong>of</strong> the Cross therewith and censes him three times.)<br />

Dadouchos.<br />

In the Name <strong>of</strong> the Divine Desire which transmutes the life <strong>of</strong> earth, I consecrate<br />

you with fire.<br />

He also falls back with the Kerux, who lifts up his Lamp as the Hegemon goes<br />

forward leading the Candidate. If there are several Candidates, they must all be purified<br />

and consecrated separately. <strong>The</strong> Kerux, Stolistes and Dadouchos resume their places but<br />

remain standing.)<br />

Hierophant.<br />

Inheritor <strong>of</strong> night and time, child <strong>of</strong> the material world, what seek you in the places <strong>of</strong><br />

the soul?<br />

Hegemon.<br />

(Replying for Candidate). Through the darkness <strong>of</strong> time and night, I have come to<br />

the Gate <strong>of</strong> the Temple, looking for the tight within.<br />

Hierophant.<br />

P l a c e t h e the Postulant at the estern side <strong>of</strong> the altar with his face to the East,<br />

symbolizing the desire after that light which God shall grant to the seeker who is well and<br />

properly prepared. (This is done by the Hegemon, who leads the Candidate helpfully and<br />

carefully throughout the Ceremony. He is not allowed to kneel, to rise, or to move <strong>of</strong> his<br />

own accord. )<br />

Hierophant.<br />

We hold your signed application for admission to this Order, which exists for the<br />

communication <strong>of</strong> spiritual knowledge to those who have awakened in the spirit. We hold<br />

also your solemn testimony to a desire conceived in your heart for the grace <strong>of</strong> Eternal Life<br />

and Divine Union. We are taught that the things which are Caesar's must be rendered duly to<br />

Caesar but to God the things that are God's, and the secrets <strong>of</strong> the Sanctuary are reserved<br />
