Every man and every woman is a star
Every man and every woman is a star
Every man and every woman is a star
Love is The Law, Love under Will
Love is The Law, Love under Will
Had! The manifestation of Nuit
The unveiling of the company of heaven
Every man and every woman is a star
Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat.
Above, the gemmed azure is
The naked splendour of Nuit
She bends in ecstasy to kiss
The secret ardours of Hadit
The winged globe, the starry blue
Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty
Divide, add, multiply, and understand
The word of the Law is THELEMA
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
The word of Sin is Restriction
Nu! the hiding of Hadit
Hear me, ye people of sighing!
The sorrows of pain and regret
Are left to the dead and the dying
The folk that not know me as yet
These are dead, these fellows; they feel not
We are not for the poor and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk
Beauty and strength, leaping laughter
And delicious languor, force and fire, are of us
This is the law of the strong
This is our law and the joy of the world
Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture
Fear not that any God shall deny thee for this
Abrahadabra; the reward of Ra Hoor Khut
Worship me with fire and blood
Worship me with swords and with spears
Let the woman be girt with a sword before me
Let blood flow to my name
Trample down the Heathen
Be upon them, o warrior
Now this mystery of the letters is done
And I want to go on to the holier place.
With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the cross
I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed and blind him
With my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist, Mongol and Din
There is no law beyond
Do what thou wilt
Had!
Nu!
Ra-Hoor-Khut!
