PART 0: The Opening
Enter the temple with the Admission Badge of the Fylfot Cross. Salute the Banner
of the East with the Neophyte Signs. Leave the cross at the station of the Keryx.
Once inside walk deosil to the East. With the Hiereus' sword, perform the LBRP.
Give one knock with the pommel of the sword against the floor or side of the chair
and say "HEKAS,HEKAS, ESTE BEBELOIl"
Put the sword aside and go to the West of the temple, facing East. Kneel down and
invoke the godform of Thme as in the previous initiation. Vibrate strongly:
THMt.! THMt.! THME! Thou daughter andeyeof RA! Lady ofHeaven,
Queen ofEarth andmistress oftheUnderworld! Great Lady ofallthegods
and goddesses. Thou whose name is MAAT! Ladyof Truth! Goddess of
Justice and Order! Mediator between Darkness and Light, Chaos and
Order! THMt.! THMt.! THMt.! Thou whoassesseth theheart of every
manandwoman in theHall ofJudgrnent before Ousiriandtheassembly of
the gods. Thou who art the eye and heart of balance! THMt.! THMt.!

As in your previous initiation rite, visualize the image of the goddess Thme before
you, with human head and yellow-gold skin. She wears a black and white nemyss
and a white linen gown. She carries the miter-headed scepter of the Hegemon.
Above her head is the white glowing outline of the cross and triangle, symbolic of
the outer magical current of the Golden Dawn.
Slowly and with much feeling, perform the Qabalistic Cross, drawing the Light
down from the Kether of the universe into the Kether at the crownof your head as
you continue the QC. Strongly visualize the cross of Light you have formed in the
center of your body. Trace within your heart the Hebrew letters of the name
THME in glowing white. Project a white ray of thought from your heart toward
the image of Thme you have created before you. See the figure breathe in life as
your thought-ray animates it. Address the form:
