THE EMPRESS—VIMPERATRICE
You should before all other things study and under-
stand the sacred laws of Nature. Discern the Father
Spirit and Mother Spirit, and recognise the sex aspect
of the two breaths, and the soul of their movements
learn how the black female seeks the caresses of the
white male, and why the white male does not disdain
the dark woman. The white man is Day, or the
Sun ; and the black woman refers to Night, and the
Moon. It is necessary to know the names and powers
of the twelve precious jewels which are included in
the crown of gold referred to the Sun, and the names
also which are allotted to the chief of the powers of
the Moon. You will then require to be familiar with
the keys of the Fifty Gates, the secret of the Thirty-
two Paths, and the characters of the Seven Spirits.

While you sprinkle the mixed salt and ashes into

Then the Prayer of the Undines should be recited.

Ever bear in mind that Equilibrium results only

Consider the bodily and mental disorders which
result from solitude and its accompanying fluidic
caresses.

Intellectual World, the equilibrium of necessity and

JUSTICE— LA JUSTICE
All things upon this world, and all below the surface,
belong to the domain of man.
Created beings roar, groan, hiss, coo, and weave
around man as a centre; man alone speaks to his
fellows and to God ; and the voice of God upon earth
is spoken through man. The science of life is written
in the Book of Nature, but man alone can read it.

THE HERMIT-UERMITE
When the adept has provided himself with the
Magical Sword and Wand, he yet needs a Magical
Lamp whose beams will chase away all the phantoms
of darkness. (The Lamp is figured at p. 103 of the

DEATH— LA MORT
An eflfort must now be made to learn the truth
concerning the greatest and most consoling, yet
also the most formidable of the Minor Arcana
concerning Death. Now, in truth, Death is but a
phantom of your ignorance and fear. Death has
no existence in the Sanctum Regnum of existence.
dreams.
Necromancy, and Goetia, which is Evil Magic, do
produce such shells and demons, apparitions of deceit.
If, however, you are an adept of the True White
Higher school, you will at all times condemn and
challenge the practice of such fatal science.
The only possible mode of communion with souls
of a higher sphere, who have passed beyond the
terrestrial aura by reason of the change called Death,
is by dream or ecstasy ; but on waking to common
consciousness there will be no recollection present in
the mind of what has passed, because, owing to the
change of plane, each idea necessarily suffers a change
of form —a recurrence of the dream, or a return to
the ecstasy, recalls what has gone before.
It is a curious fact that most persons fail to re-
