that qlor)'which is at the Apex, and who invisibly rules and governs the wholef\'ramid.

Nou' then that darkling wight is lifted by the officers and brought to thealtar in the centre; and there the Hierus accuses him of the t'wo and nventyBasenesses, while the Hegemon lifting up his chained arms cries again andagain against his enemy that he is under the Shadow of the Eternal'Wings ofthe Holy One. Yet at the end, at the supreme accusation, the Hierus smiteshim into death. The same answer avails him, and in its strength he is upliftedby his aspiration and now he stands upright.

Now then he makes a journey in his new house, and perceives at statedtimes, each time preceded by a new ordeal and equilibration, the forces thatsurround him. Death he sees, and the Life of Nature whose name is Sorrow,and the 'Word that quickeneth these, and his own self and when he hathrecognised these four in their true nature he passes to the altar once more andas the apex of a descending triangle is admitted to the lordship of the DoubleKingdom. Thus is he a member of the visible triad that is crossed with theinvisible behold the hexagram of Solomon the King! All this the Hierus seals

with a knock and at the Hegemon's new summons he to his surprise findshimself as the Hanged Man of the Throt.

Each point of the figure thus formed they crown with light, until he glitterswith the Flame of the Spirit.

Thus and not otherwise is he made a partaker of the Mysteries, and theLightning Flash strikes him. The Lord hath descended from heaven with a

shout and with the Voice of the Archangel, and the trump of God.He is installed in the Throne of the Double Kingdom, and he wields the

'Wand of Double Power by the signs of the grade.

He is recognised an initiate, and the word of Secret Power, and the silentadministration of the Sacrament of Sword and Flame, acknowledge him.

Then, the words being duly spoken and the deeds duly done, all is

symbolically sealed bv the Thirty Voices, and the 'Word that vibrateth fromthe Silence to the Speech, and from the Speech again unto the Silence.

Then the Pyramid is sealed up, even as it was opened; yet in the sealingthereof the three men partake in a certain mystical manner of the Eucharistof the Four Elements that are consumed for the Perfection of the Oil.

Konx Om Pax. (\fith these mystic words the Mysteries of Eleusis weresealed, Crowley's editorial note.)

4. The appearance of the Lord of Ecstasy is paralleled in Crowley's Supreme

Rirrral, reconstructed in Equinox:BloT VII. 5., in the original of which manykev n'ords are indicated only by initials, 'The Lord in the Shrine is this M...ofmine', while it would be fully in accord with orthodox Crowleyanity to restorethis as 'Member', the correspondence with this ritual makes 'madness' morerelevant and likely.

1. The 3 Questions.

2. The 4 ordeals.'S7arning and comfort as an appeal to the Officers.

3. The Threshold.

The Chorus of Purification.

The Hymn 'My heart, my mother!' as already written, years ago.

4. At the altar. The accusation and defence as antiphonies.

5. The journey. Bar and pass, and the 4 visions even as a mighty music.

6. The Hanged Man - the descent of Adonai.

7. The installation - signs, etc.

Sealing as for opening; but insert Sacrament.Editors Notes on the above - the original numbering is retained for ease of

reference.

2. Note Four Ordeals inLiberAl. See Mastck/Book 4 on the Scourge, Daggerand Chain.

6. The Hanged Man: Note use of 'mine' instead of 'my', Skeats etymologicaldictionary makes 'mine' a plural form, as in Chaucer, presumably then 'mineelbow' is a poetic rendering of 'my elbows', especially as both elbows are

needed to produce the figure correctly, and there is only one reference in thetext, where one might have expected two.

Notes on accompanying graphics:

There are three illustrations in Fuller's Treasure House of Images, a workwhich Crowley edited during the John St. John Retirement for publication inthe Equinox 7. 1., which bear on matters arising from Pyramidos, these are:

A magick square 13 by 13, with no accompanying comment. According torecently published Kabbalistic MS (See Kaplan's Meditation and the Kabbalah),

the traditional magic squares three through to nine refer to the planets as is

well known, but are complemented by magic squares ten through fourteenattributed to Kether through Gevurah and fifteen through twenty to Tiferetthrough Malkuth. In this arrangement then thirteen is referred to Chesed,with its traditional God name AL, as commented on by Achad and Crowley;

A "Triangle of the Universe" recognisable as the basis of the Magick Circlein Book Four, wherein ten squares represent the Sephiroth 1-10, and a triangleof yonis surrounding the Thu cross thus obtained make 13. This is the ground-plan for Pyramidos, and a great deal of Thelemic ritual beside, though notopenly described as such anywhere. The serious student would do well to referto Liber HHH, chapter MMM ('Water and the Hanged Man in old letters), andwork out for themselves what was contained in Liber IAO et al. This research

may be complemented in addition by a study of Liber Yod, where the circle andvarious practices associated with it arise again. This exposition may lead tosome adverse criticism, but as Liber Yod shows, only a Hermit can understandits interior sense, other folks will have do the next best thingl

The Greek Cross of the Zodiac, which in itself has many mysteries amongthem the 'swathings of the corpse' and the mysterious spiral dances. This wasillustrated in the first number of Equinox:BloT VII, the others are illustratedhere, the draughtsmanship of the originals was very likely Fuller's, and itshould be remarked that hisTreasure House of Images is not only a superb formof Invocation, but has in addition a note in Class A revealing yet more aboutA.'.A.'. magick.

GUIDES TO THE UNDERWORLD

LIBER PYR.AMIDOSThis publication of Pyramidos includes the notes from 'John St. John' (inCrowley's Equinox VoI. 1. No. I.). Jake Stratton-Kent has carefully expandedthe abbreviated and skeletonic sections, restored headings and numbered thesub-rituals. [t is the author's understanding that this ritual is not identicalwith the A.'.A.'. Initiation rite (TROA) referred to in the Dominus Liministask and elsewhere, but is very closely related to it. He is also aware thatcertain parties, including the O.T.O. are opposed to information beingreleased concerning that ritual. On this occasion the author is in agreementwith the Caliph, accordingly, while certain documents have been consultedto make this the most definitive text possible, no expanded commentary, andno comparisons with the unpublished text of TROA have been included.
