Subject: The Hawk Headed Herald - Volume 1, Number 3

[obtained from http://www.visi.com/~invoke/camp/library/ ]

Our Summer Solstice celebration was held at a new site in Prescott --- near cool flowing water and in the harsh lushness of the ponderosas and pines. As evidence from the numerous immediate effects of our celebratory ritual, we are proving ourselves to be resonant and powerful factors of synergy in each other's existence and definitely in tune (musically and magically speaking) with our ever more inspiring AUMGNs.

Many things have come to fruition this past season, including the completion of the final movements of summer --- although too many things to recount in this space, but which are obviously appearent to those who care to look. One of our most outward movements was the acquisition of an Internet World Wide Web Home Page, based out of Flagstaff, Arizona. While the Page is still under final construction, it is accessable to those who have Netscape or Mosaic technology. We are located through the WWW at:

and are striving to be a worthwhile link, research, and reference site for hands both old and new in Magick and Thelema. It must be noted that our original idea of running a BBS linked with the various message-bases of 93Net proved to be an expense option that fell hard and fast before the ease and global accessability of the Internet's WWW. Now if we can only get these grim Osirians to go Solar!

This summer also saw the establishment of Pan House in Flagstaff, Arizona. While Pan House is not an official facet of HHMLE, a few members of HHMLE reside there and are integral parts of the Grove of Arcady: a Pagan group which is just now beginning to gain membership across the population of Northern Arizona University and Flagstaff extant. Ahhh, Nymphs and Satyrs of Certitude! and the smooth warm creamy Skins of Youth! Those of Pan House have bed HHMLE to welcome all OTO members to their second bacchanle: 1995evs Halloweeen Party. BYOW! OYEZ! Check out page 7 for details.

And what would an Hawk Headed Herald be without word of our progressing Will to the performance of a public Gnostic Mass? Probably a paragraph short on the frontpage! Know this! nearer and nearer are we, with our first Team established and locational concerns worked out. It can be projected that this goal shall be accomplished before the Vernal Equinox of Annos IViv. Stand-by: you will be notified when we come out of Private Temple!

With this, we send ye all on your Merry Ways of Fall to greet once again come the Winter Solstice!

---Frater OGK

2. Let him seek out diligently in the sky his Star; let him travel thereunto in his Shell; let him adore it unceasingly from its rising even unto its setting by the right adorations, with chants what shall be harmonious therewith.

3. Let him rock himself to and fro in adoration; let him spin around his own axis in adoration; let him leap up and down in adoration.

4. Let him inflame himself in the adoration, speeding from slow to fast, until he can no more.

5. This also shall be sung in open places, as heaths, mountains, woods, and by streams and upon islands.

6. Moreover, ye shall build you fortified places in great cities; caverns and tombs shall be made glad with your praise.

7. Amen.

000. In the Beginning there was Naught, and Naught spake unto Naught saying: Let us beget on the Nakedness of Our Nothingness the Limitless, Eternal, Identical, and United: And without will, intention, thought, word, desire, or deed, it was so.

00. Then in the depths of Nothingness hovered the Limitless, as a raven in the night; seeing naught, hearing naught, and understanding naught: neither was it seen, nor heard, not understood; for as yet Countenance beheld not Countenance.

0. And as the Limitless stretched forth its wings, an unextended unextendable Light became; colourless, formless, conditionless, effluent, naked, and essential, as a crystalline dew of creative effulgence; and fluttering as a dove betwixt Day and Night, it vibrated forth a lustral Crown of Glory.

1. And out of the blinding whiteness of the Crown grew an Eye, like unto an egg of an humming-bird cherished on a platter of burnished silver.

2. Thus I beheld Thee, O my God, the lid of whose Eye is as the Night of Chaos, and the pupil thereof as the marshalled order of the spheres.

3. For, I am but as a blind man, who wandering through the noontide preceiveth not the loveliness of the day; and even as he whose eyes are unenlightened beholdeth not the greatness of this world in the depths of a starless night, so am I who am not able to search the unfathomable depths of Thy Wisdom.

4. For what am I that I durst look upon Thy Countenance, purblind one of small understanding that I am, blindly groping through the night of mine ignorance like unto a little maggot hid in the dark depths of a corrupted corpse?

5. Therefore, O my God, fashion me into a five-pointed star of ruby burning beneath the foundations of Thy Unity, that I may mount the pillar of Thy Glory, and be lost in adoration of the triple Unity of Thy Godhead, I beseech Thee, O Thou who art to me as the Finger of Light thrust through the black clouds of Chaos; I beseech Thee, O my God, hearken Thou unto my cry!

6. Then, O my God, am I not risen as the sun that eateth up ocean as a golden lion that feedeth on a blue-grey wolf? So shall I become one with Thy Beauty, worn upon Thy breast as the Centre of a Sixfold Star of ruby and of sapphire.

7. Yea, O God, gird Thou me upon Thy thigh as a warrior girdeth his sword! Smite my acuteness into the earth, and as a sower casteth his seed into the furrows of the plough, do Thou beget upon me these adorations of Thy Unity, O My Conqueror!

8. And Thou shalt carry me upon Thine hip, O Thou flashing God, as a black mother of the South Country carrieth her babe. Whence I shall reach my lips to Thy pap, and sucking out Thy stars, shed them in these adorations upon the Earth.

9. Moreover, O God my God, Thou who hast cloven me with Thine amethystine Phallus, with Thy Phallus adamantine, with Thy Phallus of Gold and Ivory! thus am I cleft in twain as two halves of a child that is split asunder by the sword of the eunuchs, and mine adorations are divided, and one contendeth against his brother. Unite Thou me even as a split tree that closeth itself again upon the axe, that my song of praise unto Thee may be One Song!

10. For I am Thy chosen Virgin, O my God! Exalt Thou me unto the throne of the Mother, unto the Garden of Supernal Dew, unto the Unutterable Sea!

1. O Thou show-clad volcan of scarlet fire, Thou flame-crested pillar of fury! Yea, as I approach Thee, Thou departest from me like unto a wisp of smoke blown forth from the window of my house.

2. O Thou summer-land of eternal joy, Thou rapturous garden of flowers! Yea, as I gather Thee, my harvest is but as a drop of due shimmering in the golden cup of the crocus.

3. O Thou throbbing music of life and death, Thou rhythmic harmony of the world! Yea, as I listen to the echo of Thy voice, my rapture is but as the whisper of the wings of a butterfly.

4. O Thou burning tempest of blinding sand, Thou whirlwind from the depths of darkness! Yea, as I struggle through Thee, through Thee, my strength is but as a dove's down floating forth on the purple nipples of the storm.

5. O Thou crownèd giant among great giants, Thou crimson-sworded soldier of war! Yea, as I battle with Thee, Thou masterest me as a lion that slayeth a babe that is cradled in lilies.

6. O Thou shadowy vista of Darkness, Thou cryptic Book of the fir-clad hills! Yea, as I search the key of Thy house I find my hope but as a rushlight sheltered in the hands of a little child.

7. O Thou great labour of the Firmament, Thou tempest-tossed roaring of the Aires! Yea, as I sink in the depths of Thine affliction, mine anguish is but as the smile on the lips of a sleeping babe.

8. O Thou depths of the Inconceivable, Thou cryptic, unutterable God! Yea, as I attempt to understand Thee, my wisdom is but as an abacus in the lap of an aged man.

9. O Thou transfigured dream of blinding light, Thou beatitude of wonderment! Yea, as I behold Thee, mine understanding is but as the glimpse of a rainbow through a storm of blinding snow.

10. O Thou steel-girdered mountain of mountains, Thou crested summit of Majesty! Yea, as I climb Thy grandeur, I find I have but surmounted one mote of dust floating in a beam of Thy Glory.

11. O Thou Empress of light and of Darkness, Thou pourer-forth of the stars of night! Yea, as I gaze upon Thy Countenance, mine eyes are as the eyes of a blind man smitten by a torch of burning fire.

12. O Thou crimson gladness of the midnight, Thou flamingo North of brooding light! Yea, as I rise up before Thee, my joy is but as a raindrop smitten through by an arrow of the Western Sun.

13. O Thou golden Crown of the Universe, Thou diadem of dazzling brightness! Yea, as I burn up before Thee, my light is but as a falling star between the purple fingers of the Night.

This ritual has been written in order to provide the Thelemic Magician with an updated version of a very useful, but Old Aeonic, Golden Dawn ritual. To those already familiar with the standard Rose-Cross ritual, as found in Isreal Regardies Golden Dawn, it will come as a waft of fresh air to further decidedly Thelemic magical workings. Notice that the movemment of the ritual has been changed from deosil to widdershins. This has been done to properly align the rituals potent sealing effect with the movements of the Thelemic Pentagram and Hexagram rituals. The Analysis of the Keyword has been changed from that of "I.N.R.I." to "Abrahadabra", so as to fit in more precisely with New Aeonic symbolism. Also, poetic verses have been added to beautify the ugly gaps of silence found in the original, and give the ritual itself more oomph at places where more energetic force was felt to be needed. The whole of the ritual has been found definitely more stimulating and fulfilling by yours truly, as well as by th ose practitioners whove been granted access to beta-versions. In this published alpha-version, it must be noted, as it was with all previous editions, that one must go into practice with ones eyes wide open to see where the ritual should be enahnced with personal symbolism and action that is in accordance with ones current level and depth of understanding of the forces in question. In closing, it must be said that I hope that all who partake of this ritual find it utterly helpful in their practice of the Noble Arte of Magick.

0.) Equipment: Altar, Candle, Bell, Stick of suitable incense.

I.) Liber XXV: The Star Ruby.

II.) Liber V Vel Reguli or a Thelemic Lesser Hexagram Ritual.

III.) Stabalize aura and feel the energies weaved in their tapestry about your circle. Light the stick of incense and proceed with it to the Northeast. Draw before you a brilliant gold cross. Draw around the cross a blood red circle, reciting the proper verse from below. Vibrate "Thelema" at each Rose-Cross's completion with the incense held at the cross's center. Draw, in turn, each of the Rose-Crosses in the pattern that the verses suggest.

NE.) "I enpassion the Rose-Cross in the Northeast,
Beast and Babalon in lover's feast."

NW.) "I enlighten the Rose-Cross in the Northwest,
Desiring Beast at Babalon's breast."

SW.) "I enrapture the Rose-Cross in the Southwest,
Babalon and Beast conjoined in quest."

SE.) "I enflame the Rose-Cross in the Southeast,
Masterful bliss of Babalon and Beast."

For the Rose-Crosses Above and Below, advance forth first from the NE to the SW, drawing the upper Rose-Cross first. Upon your return to the NE draw the lower Rose-Cross. From the NE, carry the incense stick at Cross-level to the NW. Advance as before, except from the NW to the SE to further establish the Rose-Crosses Above and Below.

A.) "I enblazon the Rose-Cross up Above,
Height of the world to the depth of love."
