THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC<br />

Priestess.<br />

I am the Veiled One. No mortal may see my face and live, but the Star-body may enter<br />

the place <strong>of</strong> mystery. Child <strong>of</strong> Light, I welcome thee. (<strong>The</strong> Priestesses without continue to<br />

murmur alternately:)<br />

Priestess.<br />

Behold, the Door is before<br />

thee, Enter, enter, be not afraid.<br />

Second.<br />

(In a leopard skin.) I am He Who cometh in triumph. I am He Who maketh His way<br />

through the Rose; I shine forth as the Lord <strong>of</strong> Life, the Glorious Lord <strong>of</strong> Day.<br />

Chief.<br />

(Speaking for the Candidate.) 0 Silent Place <strong>of</strong> the Mysteries, which is within her<br />

sister who createth shapes, even as the God <strong>of</strong> Creation, open to me the sealed chamber;<br />

grant that I may manifest as the sun, even as the head <strong>of</strong> Dazzling Radiance, that I may shine<br />

in the sealed chamber; that I may rise unclouded as Ra in the Gate <strong>of</strong> the double Cavern; that I<br />

may burn in the presence <strong>of</strong> the Great God, even in the presence <strong>of</strong> that Divine Light which<br />

inhabiteth Eternity.<br />

Second.<br />

(Speaking as Horus.) I travel upon the sky. I adore the radiance which illuminates<br />

mine eyes. I fly to behold the splendours <strong>of</strong> the Shining Ones in the presence <strong>of</strong> Ra; yea, I<br />

am transformed as Ra, giving life to all initiates when he walks above the zones <strong>of</strong> the earth.<br />

Chief.<br />

O Viator! Who dost disperse the Shadows <strong>of</strong> the Shining Ones in the Holy Land;<br />

give unto this wanderer the Perfect Path, that he may pass through the Rose <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Favoured Ones, even that Path which is made for the restoration <strong>of</strong> those who cannot<br />

concentrate their forces. ( Pause.) 0 Glorious Unborn Souls aid this wanderer with your<br />

unsullied spirit, for he (she) is purified and hallowed. (<strong>The</strong> Priests hold up their Wands to<br />

invoke.)<br />

Chief.<br />

(After a pause.) I am he who ruleth within the Gate <strong>of</strong> the Paths, entering in his own<br />

name, and again manifesting as endless time, Lord <strong>of</strong> the ' , eons <strong>of</strong> the World is his name.<br />

(<strong>The</strong> Priestess within.)<br />

Priestess.<br />

<strong>The</strong> work is accomplished. Horus has received his eye. Let him go forth as the lion's<br />

cub, and may the palm flowers <strong>of</strong> the Light be within him. (<strong>The</strong> Priests bless him by holding<br />

up their Wands.)<br />
