Dear friends, beautiful and happy people,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Today is the Second day of the writing of the Book of the Law, dedicated to the Precepts and Teachings of the Old Serpent of the City of Edfu, Hadit our Master, who not only preaches the freedom of the passions, but explicitly enjoins his disciples to "take wine and strange drugs" and to "be drunk thereof", as it is written (AL 2, 22) — which generally makes our April 9ths very successful celebrations.
By the way, it occurs to me that during some sumptuous orgy once held in our Abbey on this holy occasion, a sneaky little scoundrel supported the stupid thesis according to which the Cairo Working had, in reality, taken place on April 1st: the Prophet (blessing & worship to him) would have, according to this imbecile, knowingly falsified the dates of the Reception of the Book of the Law, for fear that people would take the whole thing for a prank.
I had replied to him that it didn’t worry me in the least — and that, from a religious point of view, it was even perfectly consistent, since the Old Serpent, Hadit our Master, is, par excellence, THE Great Mystifier.
Look: Since our arrival on this beautiful and interesting planet, on the day of our birth, we have, in the end, been nothing but this: toys of Hadit’s schemes, prey to his spells, victims of his enchantments...
Our tribulations, our loves, our ordeals? — Mystifications! meant to lead us to interpret as best we can the specific role that falls to us in the great punchy, funky, sexy Show that Hadit and his beauteous bride, our august Queen Nuit, entertain themselves with during their perpetual wedding night — so that we may become so admirable in that role that it deserves to be constantly developed by the production, that it becomes a cult classic and eventually earns us being cast for ever more prestigious parts, ever more in the foreground, and an ever-growing status as gigastar — That is the Cycle of Souls.
Between takes, incarnated existence is our training stay in the House of Hadit, where, under his ruthless tutelage, we alternate between Study of the Divine Sciences and enjoyment of the Delights of this World, according to the principle "Knowledge & Delight" which is the heart of the Behedite asceticism — the Way of the Old Serpent, our Master (AL 2, 65) and our role-model (AL 1, 6; 2, 76): supremely powerful Magician, unrelenting Exorcist, Beloved of Nuit, familiar of the lords of the earth, supremely solitary Hermit — and, therefore, Great Mystifier.
Meditate upon this, dear friends, and go your gorgeous ways under the protection of that spiritual sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere, and which we call GOD.
Warm kisses from the Bahamas.
Love is the law, love under will.
