                                 [81]
                                  36

          {Kappa-Epsilon-Phi-Alpha-Lambda-Eta Lambda-Sigma}

                          THE STAR SAPPHIRE

    Let the Adept be armed with his Magick Rood [and
      provided with his Mystic Rose].
    In the centre, let him give the L.V.X. signs; or if
      he know them, if he will and dare do them, and
      can keep silent about them, the signs of N.O.X.
      being the signs of Puer, Vir, Puella, Mulier.  Omit
      the sign I.R.
    Then let him advance to the East, and make the
      Holy Hexagram, saying: PATER ET MATER
      UNIS DEUS ARARITA.
    Let him go round to the South, make the Holy
      Hexagram, and say: MATER ET FILIUS UNUS
      DEUS ARARITA.
    Let him go round to the West, make the Holy
      Hexagram, and say: FILIUS ET FILIA UNUS
      DEUS ARARITA.
    Let him go round to the North, make the Holy
      Hexagram, and then say: FILIA ET PATER
      UNUS DEUS ARARITA.
    Let him then return to the Centre, and so to The
      Centre of All [making the ROSY CROSS as he
      may know how] saying: ARARITA ARARITA
      ARARITA.
    In this the Signs shall be those of Set Triumphant
      and of Baphomet.  Also shall Set appear in the
      Circle.  Let him drink of the Sacrament and let him
      communicate the same.]
    Then let him say: OMNIA IN DUOS: DUO IN
      UNUM: UNUS IN NIHIL: HAE NEC
      QUATUOR NEC OMNIA NEC DUO NEC
      UNUS NEC NIHIL SUNT.
    GLORIA PATRI ET MATRI ET FILIO ET

                                 [82]
      FILIAE ET SPIRITUI SANCTO EXTERNO
      ET SPIRITUI SANCTO INTERNO UT ERAT
      EST ERIT IN SAECULA SAECULORUM SEX
      IN UNO PER NOMEN SEPTEM IN UNO
      ARARITA.
    Let him then repeat the signs of L.V.X. but not the
      signs of N.O.X.; for it is not he that shall arise in
      the Sign of Isis Rejoicing.


                     COMMENTARY ({Lambda-Sigma})

      The Star Sapphire corresponds with the Star-Ruby
    of Chapter 25; 36 being the square of 6, as 25 is of %.
      This chapter gives the real and perfect Ritual of the
    Hexagram.
      It would be improper to comment further upon an
    official ritual of the A.'.A.'.


===================

from http://www.luckymojo.com/crowley/333lies.txt

would anyone like to translate the Latin, analyze the entirety, 
and explain WHY it is 'the ultimate secret of the OTO', and why 
publishing it warrants conscripting AC so as to subject him to 
the 'proper obligations', as he describes in his 'hagiography'?

Father and Mother (are) one(s) (with? in?) God Ararita.
(Note: Unis is a plural ablative or dative, probably a typo for unus)
(Note: lack of a preposition makes translation a little tricky)
(Note: lack of a verb "  "  " " " )

All in two: Two in one: One in nothing:
These are neither four, nor all, nor two, nor one, nor nothing.

Glory to the father and to the mother and to the son and to the
daughter and to the outer holy spirit and to the inner holy spirit in
order that it was, it is, it will be into all eternity.  Six in one
for the name seven in one - Ararita.

Ch 36 is heterosexual. It is inferior to Liber 609, which may be done by any
combination of sexes. Therefore, it is the ultimate Secret. Crowley only
vaguely alludes to this rite in Liber 333. It was meant to be the ultimate
secret of H.O.O.R., and whether Mr. Eales approves or not. It has been
pulished liberally by The Herald {me}.

"panoptes" :

that makes sense to me. Crowley claims that this is the "supreme secret of
the O.T.O." in 'De Arte Magica' (suppressed by the Caliphate O.T.O. but
part of the Naylor publication "O.T.O. Rituals and Sex Magick", p. 383.).
