Of the MasterTo apply oneself to mastery takes a great deal of time and effort. Very difficult and unobtainable to most men who have not walked through the sands of Egypt and entered into the gates of initiation. A certain substance of soul is required as well as time and lack of food! For this is the flight beyond any plane, or physical understanding of all the reality that men would perceive, especially in the modern socialistic structure, requirements status quo.Of the CompanionsAs one who would wish to enter deep into the heart of the soul of oneself and connect to the divine creator, a companion must be initiated into the Lesser Mysteries by the grade of a Master, Magus or above. Unfortunately, there are not many men that have the true capability of being able to help their brothers and sisters out within the expansion of the greater mind. Instruction is most difficult for undisciplined minds. But when one is ready to move forward in his grand evolution and wishes to apply himself to so great a matter, he must find an initiate of the instructional arts of teaching and awakening thus bringing one into the proper states of experience. For this can rarely be done on one's own incentive.Of the InstructionConcerning the access of the decagon, the symbol of Mercury. The degrees and angles of the letters that equal the sum of the great arcana.Step One: One must retire himself from the company of men. Starting upon the new moon of April, thou must retire unto a desolate setting, such as a forest, desert of any other suitable place. One must have the basic requirements such as a robe, and a set of tools that create the hands of the magician's workshop. These include, the black and white hilted knives, metals in the form of pentacles, an engraver. But don't get ahead of yourself, there are other things before we can move on to those matters. The basic beginning is the application of the prayers, such as the prayers of fasting, the bath, the making of the great circle of art and the inner devotion to the grand master, your father and mine, maker of all things. Step Two: In the time of preparation, very little should be taken into the body. But for the strength of the initiate, breads, tea and small amounts of fruit make the catalyst of the process of purification. Within three days into the process, the body will start to clear and its energy will become workable to the understanding of the communicative forces of the world of spirits. There are key elements in the undertaking of the safety of the soul. First year: During the time of the first year, it is most beneficial to the state of development to work upon the understanding of the spirits of the planets. Mainly that of Yesod, that is the Moon and the comprehension of the pentacles, the spirits of the pentacles, of figure 49 of The Key of Solomon. It is required to learn by heart the names of the spirits of figures 49 through 54. For this is necessary for the safety of the soul before entering the Lesser Mysteries. For in times of all trouble, this is the key to the endurance of one's safety and one's soul. Once one has a small but sturdy knowledge of this work, has created these pentacles, they may move on to the Lesser Mysteries. |
