it be that on a sudden all that turmoil
cease, and the thought flow evenly up to the image. Then shall the God appear in all His glory, assuming
the worshipper into His Heaven.
VIIBe it known unto you, Very Illustrious Sir Knights Councillors, that there lieth beyond all this a
supreme mode by which God not only manifesteth Himself to man, but is with him united in most
sweet nuptials. But this mystery is not to be known of them that are not yet initiates of the Sanctuary of
5the Gnosis IX°. But be ye also assured that by these practices preliminary ye shall be led to Godliness,
and to the Reward and Favour of the All-One; and ye do fit yourselves for that further advancement, ye
make yourselves worthy candidates for the Secret Areopagus of the Illuminati, wherein is much made
light that is yet dark to you.
VIII
And may the Blessing of our Lord and Father the Sun, and the Favour and Fervour of the Lord
IQFALLOS be upon you, and prepare you in brain and heart and body (wisdom, and beauty, and
might of creation being within you) for the Glory of which this Council is but a figured veil.
Hail, Sir Knights Councillors, and farewell. In the Name of BABALON and THE BEAST conjoined, of
the Secret Saviour and of IAO.
