THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC<br />

Auxiliary Frater Adeptus.<br />

In the sequence <strong>of</strong> Orders and <strong>of</strong> Rites, the number is twenty-one.<br />

Adeptus Exemptus.<br />

Mighty Adeptus Major, what is the House <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit?<br />

Adeptus Major.<br />

A ghostly palace, a Secret Church <strong>of</strong> the Elect, a School <strong>of</strong> Mystical Love.<br />

Adeptus Exemptus.<br />

Auxiliary Frater Adeptus, where is the Holy House symbolically situated, and on what<br />

is it built?<br />

Auxiliary Frater Adeptus.<br />

On the place <strong>of</strong> Holy Mysteries, the Invisible Mountain <strong>of</strong> the Wise. Its foundation is<br />

the corner-stone, and that Stone is Christ Mystical.<br />

Adeptus Exemptus.<br />

Mighty Adeptus Major, how was this Secret Mountain designated by the Elder<br />

Stewards <strong>of</strong> the Mysteries?<br />

Adeptus Major.<br />

As Mons Abiegnus, the Mount <strong>of</strong> Firs, but the reference is more especially to the<br />

Sacred Fir-Cone, the symbolical cone <strong>of</strong> the Ancient Mysteries. It is the place <strong>of</strong> reception,<br />

progression and final attainment. In its most withdrawn sense, the cone signifies the<br />

enfolded meanings and symbols <strong>of</strong> the written word, the manifold interpretation <strong>of</strong> things<br />

signified without. And the mountain is the place <strong>of</strong> ascent, the scale <strong>of</strong> perfection and the<br />

journey <strong>of</strong> the soul in GOD. On the summit there<strong>of</strong> we look to greet in peace at the term <strong>of</strong><br />

quest, when the desire <strong>of</strong> the eyes and the heart is at length attained by the soul.<br />

Adeptus Exemptus.<br />

Auxiliary Frater Adeptus, how is the Mountain designated in the tradition <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Rosy Cross?<br />

Auxiliary Frater Adeptus.<br />

It is the true Horeb and Calvary, whereon is the true Zion, a House <strong>of</strong> Living<br />

Bread.<br />

Adeptus Exemptus.<br />

Mighty Adeptus Major, what is the Sanctuary <strong>of</strong> the House?<br />

Adeptus Major.<br />

It is the most sacred place <strong>of</strong> the Mystery, revealed in the Third Order and attained by<br />

the soul in Christ.<br />
