Magic Is Real. And Reality... It Is

I Cling Unto The Burning Æthyr Like Lucifer That Fell Through The Abyss, And By The Fury Of His Flight Kindled The Air. And I Am Belial, For Having Seen The Rose Upon Thy Breast, I Have Denied God. And I Am Satan! I Am Satan! I Am Cast Out Upon A Burning Crag! And The Sea Boils About The Desolation Thereof. And Already The Vultures Gather, And Feast Upon My Flesh.

Must Not Understanding Lie Open Unto Wisdom As The Pyramids Lie Open To The Stars? (6:2)

The First Task Of The Magician In Every Ceremony Is Therefore To Render His Circle Absolutely Impregnable.

Destiny Is An Absolutely Definite And Inexorable Ruler. Physical Ability And Moral Determination Count For Nothing. It Is Impossible To Perform The Simplest Act When The Gods Say No. I Have No Idea How They Bring Pressure To Bear On Such Occasions; I Only Know That It Is Irresistible.

The Inmost Is One With The Inmost; Yet The Form Of The One Is Not The Form Of The Other; Intimacy Exacts Fitness. He Therefore Who Liveth By Air, Let Him Not Be Bold To Breathe Water. But Mastery Cometh By Measure: To Him Who With Labour, Courage, And Caution Giveth His Life To Understand All That Doth Encompass Him, And To Prevail Against It, Shall Be Increase. "the Word Of Sin Is Restriction": Seek Therefore Righteousness, Enquiring Into Iniquity, And Fortify Thyself To Overcome It.
