Notes - 30th — Liber 418

Commentary to the 30^th Æthyr:

1. L f 🜃

2. Cf. Liber AL, II:7.

(“I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. “Come unto me” is a foolish word: for it is I that go.”)

3. North - Destruction: The old Formula is abrogated.

4. b k a e. The Forthsaying of the New Æon.

[The MS has “on whose back and front are A M B Z.”]

5. [the MS has “(against the Cubic Stone?)”]

6. Cf. Liber AL, III:71. Also, LIL.

(“Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time is nigh at hand.”)

7. ♄ = 400, Death = 50; 450, ΝΥ, etc. (ΝΥ = 56.) [i.e. ΝΥ = Nu = נו = 56).

8. Represents the Forumla of Drawing All to a Point; whence blooms erect a Triple Triad.

9. See table below:

North. -

Destruction

The old Formula is abrogated.

East. -

Adepts: gleansed of their Blood and brought to Light.

There is a way to Light through giving up one’s Blood. (See 12th Æthyr.)

South. -

Silence. “Marriage in Binah.”

This leads to the Rapture of the Ineffable Union.

West. -

Fate (Refusing Initiation)

The alternative is despair - of loneliness.

10. b a M k b = The Opening of the New Æon.

11. [The MS has “letters of Blue A B F M A.”]

12. [Matthew 4:7]

(“Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”)

13. Symbolism of the Cup of Babalon.

14. This refers to Kether. Also to Horus.

15. The Closing of the Old Æon.

16. The Swastika has 17 squares out of 25, the Pentagram, or Human square. It is also א = Harpocrates, Bacchus Diphues, Parzival, etc., the Pure Fool, the Wanderer, who weds the King’s Daughter.

17. Means the Stooping Dragon (see the Golden Dawn 4°=7^□ ritual), but also the phrase = break the Maidenhead of Draco (Nuit).

18. b h. אן means Pain: נא = Failure. These = 51 = 3 x 17. Note the Three Vibrations as spoiling the ideas of 17 (IAO). The Doom of the Old Æon.

19. [The MS has “on which was written A N.”]

20. h = נ = Fish = Jesus.

21. Tegragrammaton - the blind forces of the Elements - bind the Uninitiate. He may attain to the Pentagram - Jeheshua - the Man, master of those elements. But he cannot reach Seven - Babalon - באבאלען (see Sigil of A∴A∴, 77+((7+7)/7)+77 = 156 = Babalon). For she is “lone and far,” i.e. beyond the Abyss.

22. [Mark 1: 24.]

(“Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.”)

23. [The MS has “T E X”]
