Liber Xxv

The Star Ruby

Facing East, in the centre, draw deep deep deep thy breath closing thy mouth
with thy right forefinger prest against thy lower lip. Then dashing down the
hand with a great sweep back and out, expelling forcibly thy breath, cry Apo
Pantos Kakodaimonos.
With the same forefinger touch thy forehead, and say SOI,
thy member, and say O Phalle, [The secret sense of these words is to be sought
in the numeration ther.], thy right shoulder, and say Ischuros, thy left
shoulder, and say Eucharistos; then clasp thine hands, locking the fingers,
and cry IAÕ. Advance to the East. Imagine strongly a Pentagram, aright, in thy
forehead. Drawing the hands to the eyes, fling it forth, making the sign of
Horus and roar THÉRION. Retire thine hand in the sign of Hoor-paar-Kraat.

Go round to the North and repeat; but say Nuit.

Go round to the West and repeat; but whisper Babalon.

Go round to the South and repeat; but bellow Hadit.

Completing the circle widdershins, retire to the centre and raise thy voice
in the Paian, with these words IÕ PAN, with the signs of N.o.x.

Extend the arms in the form of a Tau and say low but clear:

Pro Mou Iunges OpichÕ Mou Teletarchai Epi Dexia Chunoches Eparistera Daimonos
Pheg Ei Gar Peri Mou O AstÉr TÕn Pente Kai En TÉi StÉlÉi Õ AstÉr TÕn Ex EstÉxe.

Repeat the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin.
