Xenda'ths: Liber XXXVI - The Star Sapphire

Home | Writings & Ritual : Crowley | Thee Nexist | e@mail

Let the Adept be armed with his Magick Rood (and provided with his mystic rose).

In the centre, let him give the L.V.X. signs1; or if he know them, if he will and dare do them, and can keep silent about them, the signs of N.O.X. being the signs of Puer, Vir, Puella, Mulier. Omit the sign. I.R.2

Then let him advance to the East and make the Holy Hexagram, saying: Pater et Mater unus deus Ararita3.

Let him go round to the South, make the Holy Hexagram and say: Mater et Filius unus deus Ararita4.

Let him go round to the West, make the Holy Hexagram and say:  Filius et Filia unus deus Ararita5.

Let him go round to the North, make the Holy Hexagram and then say: Filia et Pater unus deus Ararita6.

Let him then return to the Centre, and so to The Centre of All (making the Rosy Cross as he may know how) saying Ararita Ararita Ararita7.

(In this the Signs shall be those of Set Triumphant or of Baphomet8. Also shall Set appear in the Circle9. Let him drink of the Sacrament and let him communicate the same.) Then let him say: Omnia in Duos: Duo in Unum: Unus in Nihil: Haec nec Quatuor nec Omnia nec Duo nec Unus nec Nihil Sunt10.

Gloria Patri et Matri et Filio et Filiae et Spiritui Sancto externo et Spiritui Sancto interno ut erat est erit in saecula Saeculorum sex in uno per nomen Septem in uno Ararita.11

Let him then repeat the signs of L.V.X. but not the signs of N.O.X.12:  for it is not he that shall arise in the Sign of Isis Rejoicing.
