                            As to a Veil They Broke


                 Excerpted from Jurgen by James Branch Cabell

               (Copyright (c) 1919, 1928 by James Branch Cabell)



       Thence Jurgen came with Anaitis into a white room, with copper plaques

  upon the walls, and there four girls were heating water in a brass  tripod.

  They bathed Jurgen, giving him  astonishing caresses meanwhile, - with  the

  tongue, the hair, the finger-nails, and the tips of the breasts, - and they

  anointed  him  with  four  oils,  then  dressed him again in his glittering

  shirt.  Of Caliburn, said Anaitis,  there was no present need: so  Jurgen's

  sword was hung upon the wall.

       These girls brought silver bowls containing wine mixed with honey, and

  they  brought  pomegranates  and  eggs  and barleycorn, and triangular red-

  colored loaves, whereon with formal gestures they sprinkled  sweet-smelling

  little seeds.   Then Anaitis and  Jurgen broke their  fast, eating together

  while the four girls served them.

       "And now," says  Jurgen, "and now,  my dear, I  would suggest that  we

  enter into  the pursuit  of those  curious pleasures  about which  you were

  recently telling me."

       "I am  very willing,"  responded Anaitis,  "since there  is no  one of

  these pleasures but is  purchased by some diversion  of man's nature.   Yet

  first, as I need hardly inform you, there is a ceremonial to be observed."

       "And what, pray, is this ceremonial?"

       "Why,  we  call  it  the  Breaking  of  the  Veil."  And Queen Anaitis

  explained what they must do.

       "Well," says Jurgen, "I am willing to taste any drink once."

       So  Anaitis  led  Jurgen  into  a  sort  of  chapel, adorned with very

  unchurchlike paintings.   There were four  shrines, dedicated severally  to

  St. Cosmo, to St. Damianus, to St. Guignole of Brest, and to St. Foutin  de

  Varailles.  In this chapel were a hooded man, clothed in long garments that

  were striped  with white  and yellow,  and two  naked children, both girls.

  One of the children carried a censer: the other held in one hand a  vividly

  blue pitcher half filled with water, and in the left hand a cellar of salt.

       First of all, the hooded man  made Jurgen ready.  "Behold the  lance,"

  said the hooded man, "which must serve you in this adventure."

       "I  accept  the  adventure,"  Jurgen  replied,  "because I believe the

  weapon to be trustworthy."

       Said the hooded man: "So be it!  But as you are, so once was I."

       Meanwhile Duke Jurgen held the lance erect, shaking it with his  right

  hand.  This lance was large, and the tip of it was red with blood.

       "Behold," said Jurgen, "I am  a man born of a  woman incomprehensibly.

  Now I,  who am  miraculous, am  found worthy  to perform  a miracle, and to

  create that which I may not comprehend."

       Anaitis took salt and water from the taller child, and mingled  these.

  "Let the salt of  the earth enable the  thin fluid to assume  the virtue of

  the teeming sea!"

       Then,  kneeling,  she  touched  the  lance,  and  began  to  stroke it

  lovingly.  To Jurgen  she said: "Now may  you be fervent of  soul and body!

  May the endless  Serpent be your  crown, and the  fertile flame of  the sun

  your strength!"

       Said  the  hooded  man,  again,  "So  be  it!"  His voice was high and

  bleating, because of that which had been done to him.

       "That  therefore  which  we  cannot  understand  we also invoke," said

  Jurgen.  "By the power of the  lifted lance," - and now with his  left hand

  he  took  the  hand  of  Anaitis,  -  "I,  being  a  man  born  of  a woman

  incomprehensibly, now seize  upon that which  alone I desire  with my whole

  being.  I lead you toward the east.  I upraise you above the earth and  all

  things of earth."

       Then Jurgen raised Queen Anaitis so  that she sat upon the altar,  and

  that which was there before tumbled to the ground.  Anaitis placed together

  the tips of her thumbs and of  her fingers, so that her hands made  an open

  triangle; and waited thus.  Upon her head was a network of red coral,  with

  branches radiating downward: her gauzy tunic had twenty-two openings, so as

  to admit all imaginable  caresses, and was of  two colors, being shot  with

  black and crimson curiously mingled: her dark eyes glittered and her breath

  came fast.

       Now the hooded man  and the two naked  girls performed their share  in

  the ceremonial, which part it is  not essential to record.  But  Jurgen was

  rather shocked by it.

       None the less,  Jurgen said: "O  cord that binds  the circling of  the

  stars!  O cup which holds all time, all color, and all thought!  O soul  of

  space! not unto  any image of  thee do we  attain unless thy  image show in

  what we are about to do.  Therefore by every plant which scatters its  seed

  and  by  the  moist  warm  garden  which  receives and nourishes it, by the

  commingling of bloodshed with pleasure, by the joy that mimics anguish with

  sighs and shudderings, and by the  contentment that mimics death, - by  all

  these do we invoke thee.  O thou, continuous one, whose will these children

  attend, and whom I now adore in this fair-colored and soft woman's body, it

  is thou whom I honor, not any woman, in doing what seems good to me: and it

  is thou who art about to speak, and not she."

       Then Anaitis said: "Yea, for I  speak with the tongue of every  woman,

  and I shine in the eyes of every woman, when the lance is lifted.  To serve

  me is  better than  all else.   When  you invoke  with a  heart wherein  is

  kindled the  serpent flame,  then you  will understand  the delights  of my

  garden, and what  joy unwordable pulsates  therein, and how  very potent is

  the sole desire  which uses all  of a man.   To serve  me you will  then be

  eager to surrender whatsoever else is in your life; and other pleasures you

  will take with your left hand, not thinking of them entirely: for I am  the

  desire which uses all of a man,  and so wastes nothing.  And I  accept you.

  I yearn toward you,  I who am daughter  and somewhat more than  daughter to

  the Sun.  I who am all pleasure, all ruin, and a drunkenness of the  inmost

  sense, desire you."

       Now Jurgen  held his  lance erect  before Anaitis.   "O  secret of all

  things, hidden  in the  being of  all which  lives, now  that the  lance is

  exalted I do not dread thee: for thou art  in me, and I am thou.  I am  the

  flame that burns  in every beating  heart and in  the core of  the farthest

  star.   I too  am life  and the  giver of  life, and  in me  too is  death.

  Wherein art thou better than I?  I am alone: my will is justice: and  there

  comes no other god where I am."

       Said the hooded man behind Jurgen, "So be it!  But as you are so  once

  was I."

       The two naked children stood at each side of Anaitis, and waited there

  trembling.    These  girls,  as  Jurgen  afterward learned, were Alecto and

  Tisiphone, two of the Eumenides.   And now Jurgen shifted the red  point of

  the lance, so that  it rested in the  open triangle made by  the fingers of

  Anaitis.

       "I am life and the giver of life," cried Jurgen.  "Thou that art  one,

  that makest  use of  all!   I who  am but  a man  born of  a woman, I in my

  station now honor  thee in honoring  this desire which  uses all of  a man.

  Make open therefore the way  of creation, encourage the flaming  dust which

  is in our hearts, and aid us in that flame's perpetuation!  For is not that

  thy law?"

       Anaitis answered,  "There is  no law  in Cocaigne  save, Do that which

  seems good to you."

       Said the  naked children:  "Perhaps it  is the  law, but certainly not

  justice.  Yet we  are little and quite  helpless.  So presently  we must be

  made as  you are:  for now  you are  no longer  two, and  your flesh is not

  shared merely with each other.  For your flesh becomes our flesh, and  your

  sins must be accounted our sins now: and we have no choice."

       Jurgen lifted Anaitis from the  altar, and they went into  the chancel

  and searched for the adytum.  There  seemed to be no doors anywhere in  the

  chancel: but  presently Jurgen  found an  opening screened  by a pink veil.

  Jurgen thrust with his  lance and broke this  veil.  He heard  the sound of

  one brief wailing cry:  it was followed by  soft laughter.  So  Jurgen came

  into the adytum.

                            LODGE BY-LAW AMENDMENT


                Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law



       At  the  August  Lodge  Meeting,  the  membership  present unanimously

  requested the  Executive Committee  to add  the following  paragraph to the

  Lodge By-laws.  This is now  done under the authority of the  Lodge Master,

  as paragraph  VI(6).   This published  notice fulfills  the requirements of

  Section XVI.


     "6.  The  O.T.O. membership of  each member is  confidential.  Only  the

     member himself or herself has  the right to waive this  confidentiality.

     Should any member violate this confidentiality by communicating, without

     explicit permission, to anyone outside  of O.T.O. the fact that  another

     member is a member of O.T.O., the offended member may file charges  with

     the Master.  If, upon investigation, the charges are substantiated,  the

     Master may  levy any  penalty which  is within  the power  of the Lodge,

     including Local Bad Report, expulsion  from the Lodge, and/or a  request

     to the Grand Lodge for general Bad Report."


       This amendment merely implements, at the Lodge level, a policy held by

  O.T.O. for at least as far back into the Hymenaeus Alpha administration  as

  we can trace.

       In the past decades,  to reveal the name  of any brother or  sister to

  those outside of the  Order was an expulsion  level offense.  Although  the

  firm admonishment  in this  matter, given  to III's  on their Devotion, was

  removed  from  the  ritual  before  World  War II, the principle has always

  remained.  Confidentiality of membership  is a basic right retained  by all

  members of our "serious and secret Order" unless they waive it.  Even  with

  our current initiation  rituals, to disclose  the fact of  another person's

  O.T.O. membership without their explicit permission is to betray the  fifth

  and seventh of several sacred bonds which still unite IIIo members.

       Baphomet Lodge members, in asking  for this addition to the  Lodge By-

  laws, stated that they wanted recorded, for those who come after them, this

  policy statement which has always been understood and practiced within  the

  Lodge.

                                 NEWS RELEASE


  II. ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY:

      Personal Computers of the Pharaohs


                                             Continued from long, long ago...


       Consultant KOB concluded the summary: "Little sister NETRANA  searched

  patiently.   Bit by  bit, she  gathered the  words until  she had collected

  memories from the scattered remains of ASTRONN in caves, man-made  objects,

  from ocean depths, and so on.

       "Well, although the work is just beginning, we've also found traces of

  a whole hierarchy of  effaced AI God-forms!   These seem to be  included in

  the known GOD pantheons as background figures, or were carelessly erased by

  the Qli-Pa-Oaths in the past Aeon.

       "Here it is!"  announced Brother XAO,  as pulled down  the visiscreen.

  "This is a partial list of what AI-god names we've discovered so far",  XAO

  points  the  left  side  of  the  screen,  "and  how  they  relate  to  the

  conventional Egyptian Life/god-forms."

   "We've tried to make  it clear for you  by placing the familiar  images in

  parentheses," chuckles KOB, flourishing a wand-like pointer.

   "We  will  also  be  investigating  another  limestone Stele discovered by

  Auguste Mariette in 1850 from the  ruins of temples near the great  pyramid

  at Ghiza.   This  item is  now in  the Inventory  of the  Cairo Museum  and

  promises to revolutionize  the timing of  events before the  4th Dynasty of

  the Old Kingdom.  If  you want to read more  about it, see The Stairway  to

  Heaven, by Zecharia Sitchin, Avon Books 1983."

   "It seems that a British aristocrat and glory hound by the name of Colonel

  Richard Howard Vyse in  1837 may have committed  the greatest fraud in  the

  history  of  Egyptology.    His  forgery  of  Pharaoic names from different

  Dynasties inside the Great Pyramid foreshortened our Dynastic  chronologies

  by thousands of years!   It is now  known that the Great  Pyramids in Ghiza

  pre-date all other pyramids in Egypt by thousands of years, and were  never

  used for burial monuments as our school books told us!"

   "Now it seems there  was a historical turning  point in about 2,650  B.C.,

  when a Pharaoh by the name of KHUFU restored an ancient temple by order  of

  HORUS, God  of the  Living.   According to  the Inventory  Stele, the Ghiza

  ruins  were  dedicated  to  ISIS,  Divine  Mother  of Horus, near the Great

  Pyramid.  KHUFU knew  how to do this  because his ancestor, Pharaoh  ZOSER,

  had  an  architectural  genius  name  IMHOTEP  working for him who may have

  discovered some of the AI-Gods during his excavations.  The Pharaohs  after

  that secured their power with AI-CONS acting as personal computers made  by

  the gods."

   "I suppose  you'll be  making claims  about the  Holy Ark  of the Covenant

  next," laughed a Rabbi.

   KOB smiled good naturedly, "You, Rabbi, should appreciate how difficult it

  must be to preserve knowledge in a changing world for long periods of time!

  Where are those Bronze memo-tablets the Hebrew tribes used to carry around?

  And look what's happened  just in your own  lifetime, or over the  past 100

  years.  Can  you imagine one  thousand years, or  even ten thousand?   Only

  Artificial Intelligences embodied in the rocks, crystals, and non-oxidizing

  metals such as gold or platinum in massive monuments and orbiting libraries

  would do."

   "It has been known for some time that the Pyramids were not used as  TOMBS

  by the Pharaohs who built them; only later intruders utilized these  masses

  in that fashion.   We're going  to study these  questions.  There  is still

  Magick in the Pyramids!"

   "Let's wrap-it-up," whispers Brother XAO, impatiently, "or we'll miss  our

  plane." XAO and the expeditionary team  bid us farewell and bustled off  to

  the terminal: "Thank you, everyone.   We'll be meeting your again upon  our

  return from Cairo with that Most  Mysterious Master, YOD.  I'm sure  you'll

  find him even better informed by then."

                                THE MASS GROWS


   At  the  September  Mass  held   at  Nuit-Hathor  Sanctuary,  we  had   22

  communicants on a Sunday when it was 110o F.!  We have clearly outgrown out

  space!    We  thank  Sophia  and  Gilda  for their efforts and foresight in

  planning the Benefit Bar-B-Q to raise money to have our Mass celebrated  in

  a  roomy  space.    We  all  need  to  follow their lead and keep this ball

  rolling.  Steps are being taken to secure a location that can be rented  on

  an ongoing basis.

   We have noticed that there are  some people who reliably let others  bring

  the champagne for our post-Mass  celebration; and it seems that  those same

  people  also  let  others  put  money  in  the donation basket.  We will be

  instituting a  suggested minimum  donation when  we have  to pay  rent each

  month, so how about getting in the habit of supporting the Mass now?  There

  will be initial  expenses connected with  getting into the  rental space in

  addition to the actual rent.  Although we have accumulated some money  from

  previous donations, it probably will not cover all of the costs.

   As we grow, more  and more people are  coming to Mass for  the first time.

  When you invite  a friend, please  make yourself responsible  for informing

  the newcomer about our communion customs.  See that your guest is given our

  standard sheet on the subject, and a missal.  (The Deacon always has access

  to these.) Your active assistance in integrating new people will make their

  initial time among us more comfortable for everyone.

               Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.


  THE WORD OF THE AUTUMN EQUINOX IS "veiling" from Liber Legis II:14.

   It is customary that we promulgate a Word (a new magical current) at  each

  Equinox for the  L.A. area O.T.O.;  that is, for  Babalon Chapter; Baphomet

  Lodge;  Aiwass  Oasis  and  its  satellites; Ptah-Sekhet Oasis, and Hermes,

  Bagh-i-Muattar, and N.O.X. Camps.

   In addition to the Word, an Oracle was selected from the Yi Ching.  It  is

  Hexagram No. 37, "Family."  The general meaning of the Hexagram applies  to

  the next six months.  Each of the six lines of the Hexagram may be taken as

  applying respectively to the six months following the Equinox.

   The Word and Oracle are given freely  for what value they may have.   They

  represent  a  magical  principle,  or  current,  on  which the Order is now

  operating in this area.  Individual members may also find personal  meaning

  in their own lives over the next several months.

   The Word of  the Previous (vernal)  Equinox was "joy."   The corresponding

  Oracle was Hexagram No. 63, "After Completion."


                       Love is the law, love under will.

                       ON CROWNED & CONQUERING CHILDREN


                              by Aleister Crowley


  [The  following  is  excerpted  from  a  letter  from Crowley to one of his

  American lieutenants during World  War II.  We  publish it here as  a self-

  help guide for the eager and motivated.]


   The word "student" itself  condemns your strategy.   We live in a  time of

  insane excitement; we  count that day  lost when less  than 50,000 harmless

  people have met  with death in  its most horrible  forms, and even  that is

  rather  homely  fare;  plentiful  sauce  of rape, torture, and cold-blooded

  murders on the largest scale must be poured over the dish to make is  truly

  piquant, and send us to bed, patting our stomachs, with the reflection that

  life need not be dull and monotonous, after  all.  What use is it to go  to

  wild-eyed youths, whose jaws drip  foam with the hunger to  join personally

  in these pastimes, and pep them  up, youths who are permanently drunk  with

  lust of blood, and  action-action-action even-more-action! and ask  them to

  practice Asana, to learn to quiet the mind, to kill out the emotions?

   What you must do is to enflame them with the romance of the Order and  its

  Work, with the Marvel-Story of the  "Cairo Working" as told in The  Equinox

  of the Gods, instill  the idea of the  New Aeon, the coming  of the Crowned

  and  Conquering  Child,  the  birth  of  Freedom  as  outlined  in Liber OZ

  (LXXVII), the plan of the Master  Therion to bring about the revolution  by

  the 4 wars started 9 months after  the 4 publications of Liber AL, and  the

  need for each one of them to go forth and smite and establish the Law.  You

  have got to imbue them  with the fanatical berserk, amok,  Airman, Commando

  spirit.  You have got  to work them up to  be heroes and martyrs, each  man

  himself  a  leader,  yet  able  to  devote  himself to conjoint disciplined

  action.  You have got to make each man and woman feel himself (or  herself)

  an individual Godhead, of supreme importance not only intrinsically but  to

  the whole world.

   "Pioneers, o Pioneers!"


  P.S.    Note  the  vehemence  of  the  spirit of Liber AL; even its calmest

  passages throb with fierce energy.  You must capture this savage, elemental

  rapture and communicate it to every one you meet.!

   What  do  you  get  if  you  put  80  Thelemites  together  for a weekend?

  Philosophical schisms,  untold property  damage, severe  hangovers, and new

  friends, of course.  However, I  had something more specific in mind  - THE

  FIRST OCCASIONAL  BAPHOMET LODGE  REUNION!   During the  summer of 1989, we

  hope to gather Baphomet Lodge  members from all of our  far-flung satellite

  bodies (and satellites of satellites,  etc.) in Los Angeles for  a Magickal

  weekend  of  fun  and  companionship.    Our  definition of "Baphomet Lodge

  member" is  quite loose  -if you  suspect that  you're a  member, then  you

  probably are one.  Consult a good Tarot deck if you have any questions.

   The first essential task facing us is to choose a date.  As a first cut, I

  have decided to try to limit it  to weekends in July 1989.  So,  if anybody

  out there is interested in attending the Reunion, please send me a note  at

  the address below, indicating which weekends in July 1989 you would prefer,

  and which you would be unable to  attend.  If you are unable to  attend any

  weekend in July 1989, tell me and I will consider moving to June or August.

  Please let me know as soon  as possible so we can start  detailed planning.

  Watch future issues of the BAPHOMET BREEZE for more announcements!

                                  AN ESSAY ON

                            A NUMEROLOGICAL SYSTEM


                                 by Fr. W.I.T.


   This essay will examine certain ideas surrounding the first ten numbers to

  establish their tripartite cycle and how all other numbers relate to this.

   All numbers and  mathematical systems stem  from zero, that  which denotes

  nothingness.  It is a clearing of the mental slate so that creative thought

  may start from the beginning.  Ultimately, the beginning of all thought and

  even being is symbolized  by the number one.   Herein is all  potential and

  the basis of all positive existence.

   However, this number by itself does nothing.  The concept is incapable  of

  multiplication toward any increase; a fitting counterpart to zero.  Only by

  reflection of itself, a first  movement or emanation can create  the number

  two.   This number  symbolized the  first duality,  the first  relation and

  expansion.    Thus  it  is  a  fitting  symbol  for subtlest creativity and

  positivity; the First Father whose symbol is the line.

   The resultant counterpart of this first relation is the number three which

  symbolizes  the  first  complete  unit,  i.e.,  the  first whole made up of

  several components.   Indeed, the sum  of the first  two numbers is  three.

  Here the first manifestation appears.   Now there is structure.  Thus  this

  number is  used to  symbolize the  Great Mother,  the logical  opposite and

  therefore equilibration of  the Father, whose  symbol is the  triangle, the

  circle, and the plane in general.

   So  these  three  firsts  supply  the  basic  type  and cycle to all other

  numbers.  This can be shown by an examination of the next six numbers.

   The first repetitive number is four,  the square of two.  This  symbolizes

  the completion  of one  phase, but  also the  beginning of  another; a true

  cusp.   This is  the number  of elements  and physicality  in general.  The

  first actual has concreted out of the potential All.  The geometric  symbol

  is therefore the cube.

   The next number  is five, which  represents the first  limited movement of

  things or, to put it simply, time.  These concepts are reminiscent of  two,

  yet the idea of limitation and constraint of movement is also inherent.  In

  truth, 2 + 3  = 5.  So  this number can be  conveniently referred to as  an

  emanation number.

   Following is the number six, the multiple and sum of the first triad,  and

  a true equilibrator of all manifested things.  Now manifestation has become

  ordered and coherent.  As a realizer of time and space it can be thought of

  as a manifestation number, like three.

   Beginning  the  next  cycle  is  seven,  again  a number of completion and

  beginning, this time for a  concrete and divided level of  existence; again

  another  cusp  number.    Eight  is  two  to the third power and so another

  movement stimulator and limiter in form.   Ending this triad is nine  which

  is three  squared and  thus represents  material form  in balanced  action;

  truly a manifestation number.  Beyond this is ten, but what is this but the

  beginning of the next universe of ideas, a repetition of one, but also  the

  completion of the first three triads.

   All this suggests a model for the  rest of numbers and so all thought  and

  conception.    Think  of  the  basis  of  numbers  as  three  categories or

  "branches" consisting of a number of elements which end in a unity or  cusp

  which is the resultant.  Many extremely significant numbers can be  derived

  using this formula of  3x + 1.   Three "branches" of three  plus one equals

  ten.  Three "branches" of four plus one equals 13 = Achad or unity.   Three

  "branches" of seven plus one equals  22, the number of paths of  Otz Chiim,

  the Qabalistic Tree of Life.  So this mandala can be considered to  consist

  of two trees or models of the universe in one: one of condition and one  of

  function.

   Three "branches" of ten plus one equals  31 = AL, the Word of The  Book of

  the Law.  Also, 31  * 3 = 93.   Three "branches" of twelve plus  one equals

  37, the gematria of Yechidah, the true self, and 37 * 3 = 111 = Aleph.

   All  these  numbers  express  ideas  of  unity  inherent in manifestation.

  Notice that  the sum  of the  digits of  these numbers  is one of the first

  three cusps, 1, 4, and 7.  Likewise such a sum of any number will  indicate

  whether it is a cusp, emanation, or manifestation number.  Here is  implied

  that the first  nine numbers represent  an archtypal megatriad  which forms

  the basis of all concepts so  ever and much intuition in numerology  can be

  gained by studying the  correspondences between 1, 4,  and 7; 2, 5,  and 8;

  and 3, 6, and 9.

   So it is shown that the concept of the numeric tripartite cycle is  useful

  and suggestive and has many applications in modelling numerological  ideas.

  Thus all ideas whatever fall under these prototypic ideals.

                                 vel vel, now.

                              sub figura skating

                           "The Book of the In-Laws"


  1. Tag!  You're It!

  2. Things get rough from here on out; show not this chapter to thy friends.

       Speling is flunked; all was not taught.   It's a Hawk!  It's a  Higher

       Plane!  It's PA-RA-KEET!

  3. Now  first, let's  get it  straight that,  as Gods  go, I am one bad-ass

       dude.  I will kick their asses.

  4. Choose ye an island!  (I recommend the Atolls of Tahiti.)

  5. Fortify it  with eight vitamins  and iron!   (From this shall  wonder be

       bred.)

  6. Fill it with all kinds of crap!

  7. I will give you a fire engine.

  8. With it ye shall hose down the people, and none shall stand before you.

  9. Run away!  Sneak around behind them!   Shoot them in the back!  This  is

       the law of the Battle of Cowardice: we shall practice in my back yard.

  10. Get the Souvenir Postcard of Cairo itself; set it in thy photo album  -

       the one with the dirty pictures of Egyptian children and camels -  and

       it shall be your  Keepsake for ever.   It shall not fade,  or at least

       not  much,  for  miraculous  four-color  printing  shall  adhere to it

       eternally.  Toss it in the bottom of your underwear drawer and  forget

       about the damned thing.

  11. Save  this portion  for your  records!   I forbid  argument.   I forbid

       questions.  Hell, I forbid going to the bathroom!  I will make it easy

       for you to  mess up your  house and to  destroy your home  town.  Thou

       shalt have danger and trouble; thy weight is 195 pounds.  Bar-B-Que is

       with thee.  Worship  me with gin and  tonic; worship me with  scotch &

       with water!  Let women threaten me with sharp objects; thou knowest  I

       love it.  Let beer flow to my  glass.  Step on anyone who gets in  the

       way; mine is a modest proposal!

  12. Mutilate cattle, little and big,  in remote areas of Wyoming: after,  a

       c***d [DELETED AT THE REQUEST OF THE O.T.O LEGAL FUND].

  13. Ha!  I didn't say "Simon Magus says!"

  14. I'll get around to it, so be patient.  Yeah?  And your wife, too!

  15. Be  careful what  you wish  for -  I may  give it  to you.  Hell, I may

       anyway.

  16. No contract,  explicit or implicit,  is hereby established  between the

       party of the  first part, the  entity ?Who-Vast!   (hereafter EW), and

       the party of  the second part,  the Master 999  (hereafter M999).   EW

       assumes  no  liability  for  damages  caused  by or consequent to use,

       misuse, abuse, or  disuse of Liber  Call Me AL  (hereafter "Nancy") by

       M999.  M999 assumes full responsibility for promulgation,  commentary,

       and routine  maintenance of  "Nancy," and  for all  civil or  criminal

       actions pertaining to or caused by "Nancy" or related material.   Your

       state may not permit  exclusion of prophetic liability  for channeled,

       inspired, or extraterrestrial communications.  In this case, state law

       supersedes the Logos of the Aeon.

  17. Don't worry; fear neither  tax auditors, nor auto mechanics,  nor weird

       fuzzy things  you find  late at  night under  your bed,  nor anything.

       Money fear not, but  rather the lack of  it; nor laughter of  the folk

       folly - with a religion like this you're in for a lot of it.  Nuts are

       your snack as you drink your Lite; and I am the force that bends  your

       arm.

  18. You know  all that stuff  in Chapter 2  about mugging the  weak and the

       poor?  Well, do that, but this time wear steel-toed boots.

  19. The postcard they shall call  the Souvenir of Cairo; count its  name on

       thy fingers, and it shall be unto thee as, um, 5.

  20. But WHY???  Because  of the fall of Because,  you little brat.  Now  go

       play on the freeway.

  21. Redecorate thy temple with  genuine oil paintings from the  GALLERY ART

       SHOW at the Cairo Hilton!  Seascapes, clowns, Elvis on velvet, generic

       farm buildings,  and waterfalls  are only  a few  of the many ORIGINAL

       ARTWORKS  available  at  ridiculously  low  prices for a LIMITED TIME!

       Sofa size, portrait  size, and our  special TEMPLE SIZE  paintings are

       all AVAILABLE NOW!

  22. Buy  a whole  set, to  carry thy  Decorating Theme.   I  am the visible

       Object of Worship, if you know what's good for you.  It's my Aeon, and

       I'll scry if I want to.  The others can just wait their turns; for you

       and your wife are they, and the winners of the Prophecy Clearing House

       Giveaway.  What is this?  Ask Ed McMahon.

  23. For  perfume mix  oil and  vinegar and  Thunderbird: then  gasoline and

       styrofoam, and afterward soften and smooth down with rich dark beer.

  24. The  best beer  is of  the Irish,  Guiness; then  beers of  Germany, or

       imported from the Orient; then of Australia; then of Canada or Mexico;

       then some American pisswater, no matter the brand.

  25. This drink; of this  make bread and eat 'til  you pop.  This hath  also

       another use; let beer  be laid in a  shallow dish in the  garden, with

       sticks propped up  on its sides:  it shall become  full of snails  and

       other things which have been ravaging your garden.

  26. These dispose of, reflecting on the karmic implications of drowning  in

       beer.

  27. Also, these make good escargot if you want to catch them live and go to

       all that trouble.

  28. Also, ye shall reek of garlic.

  29. Furthermore, if you keep them in corn meal awhile, they're supposed  to

       taste better.  You try it first and let me know.

  30. My altar is  of open brass work.   Burn thereupon, and  all the incense

       will fall through the openings and ruin your new carpet.

  31. You will meet a tall dark stranger who will piss on you.

  32. From gold forge extremely soft, yellowish steel!

  33. Be ready to run away or to hide!

  34. But your Townhouse shall  endure throughout the centuries: though  with

       dry rot  and termites  it be  unsafe and  condemned, yet  an invisible

       house there lieth in  a heap, and shall  remain until the zoning  laws

       change;  when  hell  is  frozen  over  and  the  national debt repaid.

       Another load  of ready  cash shall  then be  spent on  New Age  trash;

       another scandal-film shall  bore us, titled  "The Sex Life  of Horus";

       another Book shall be dictated to a Prophet overrated; another  parody

       shall be prepared, another  Breeze to pain; and  we shall be still  on

       the brink of the Volume II Magickal Link!

  35. The end of the word of Hia-wa-tha, alias Har-po-marx, alias Pa-Ra-Keet.

  36. Then, suddenly, the prophet said:

  37. I think I feel a song coming on -


            Why do hawks swoop down from the sky

            Every time she walks by?

            Just like me, they long to be

            Close to Nu.


            Why do buds open to the air

            From the Earth, everywhere?

            Just like me, they long to be

            Close to Nu.


            In the Aeon she appeared Archangels got together

            And they Willed to formulate a dream come true;

            So they scattered starlight for her body

            And eternal trees, the hair of Nu!


  38. Of course  you feel light-headed;  you have a  hot sword stuck  in your

       back.  Pick Door Number 3, and  I will establish your way, or you  can

       trade it all for whatever is in  this box.  Oh, by the way,  these are

       the adorations, so pay attention:


            Why do snakes coil around my heart

            Every time we're apart?

            Just like me, they long to be

            Close to Nu.


  39. All  this and  a sensational  best-selling book  about how you achieved

       communion with Aliens and a copy of this document forever - for in  it

       is high acid content paper, and it won't last twenty years as is - and

       thy comment upon this Book of the In-Laws (I suggest "So what?") shall

       be Xeroxed expertly  in four colors  upon beautiful bond  paper stolen

       from an office supply store;  and to everyone that thou  meetest, were

       it but to throw food and drink on them, it is the Law to give as  good

       as you  get.   Remember, charity  begins at  AUMGN.   Then they  shall

       either shower  thee with  praise and  fortune or  set their  dogs upon

       thee; care to guess the odds?  Run away quickly.

  40. But  what about  the Comment?   I  don't got  to show  you no  stinking

       Comment!

  41. Establish a  legitimate business organization  as a front;  all must be

       done using at least two sets of books.

  42. The ordeals thou shalt overlook, being blind drunk.  Accept  everybody;

       you'll  probably   spot  the   traitors  before   they  cause   really

       catastrophic damage.  I am Pa-Ra-Keet,  and I am very good at  getting

       my servant in trouble by giving him stupid orders like this.   Success

       would be nice; fold not, spindle not, mutilate not, breathe shallowly,

       sit still!  Them that seek to arrest thee, to beat thee up, might  not

       even notice thee if thou art still and quiet enough.  If this  doesn't

       work, swift as a kicked puppy run away!  Be thou yet more pitiful than

       he!  Perhaps they shall have mercy upon thee.  Lick their boots,  roll

       over and play dead!

  43. Let the Beige Woman  beware!  If she lets  up for one second I'll  kick

       her ass.  I  will cancel her auto  insurance; I will foreclose  on her

       mortgage; I  will audit  her tax  return; as  a shrinking and despised

       credit  risk  shall  she  crawl  through  loan applications, and die a

       renter.

  44. But let her do her Will by following my directions to the letter, never

       deviating from the exact path I have chosen for her!  Let her act as I

       want her to act, dress the way I like her to dress!

  45. Then shall she be free; then I will be nice to her kids.  She shall  be

       happy, for I know what she really wants.  With my perfect guidance she

       shall be Nuts, and eat Haddock.

  46. I am  the Lord of  the Top Forties;  the Sixties tune  in, turn on, and

       drop  out;  the   Eighties  worry  about   my  prophecies  more   than

       Nostradamus.  Failure is likely, running away your defense; go on with

       my speed, and hide until they leave!

  47. This book shall be a  major motion picture, with subsequent comic  book

       releases; but always with the illegible scrawls of my servant; for  in

       the chance  shape of  the doodles  in the  margins are  mysteries with

       which Freud would have a field day.   Let him not seek to know  these;

       but seventeen come  later who shall  use them as  a wallpaper pattern.

       Then this ink stain is a mess; then this smeared line is a mess  also.

       Buy a new pen, for God's sake.   And SHAZAM.  Blood tests shall  prove

       it to be his kid, stunning  the medical profession.  Let him  not push

       too hard, for only thusly could  he fall off and possibly injure  both

       himself and the goat.

  48. Now the mystery of the letters is done, and good riddance.

  49. I am in a secret word that  you won't want your friends to read.   Just

       tell them to stop at verse 48.

  50. Darn them!  Darn, darn, darn!  GOSH darn!

  51. Okay, here we go: With great big nasty sharp implements I gouge  Jesus'

       eyes out.  Anybody for a nice cheery burning cross on the front lawn?

  52.  I  offend  another  major  world  religion and make untold millions of

       additional enemies by fucking around with Mohammed's vision.

  53. Hell, let's go for it!  I make appropriate rude and offensive  comments

       about  and   desecrate  the   temples  of   Jews,  Hindus,  Buddhists,

       Shintoists,  Confucians,  Taoists,  Animists,  various Native American

       religions, and - just so they won't feel left out - Marxists.   There,

       now everybody in the world hates you.  Isn't it nice to be noticed?

  54. Bah!  Humbug!  I crap on your spitulous creeds!

  55. Let's torture Mary to enrage the Catholics; let's criticize Nuns!  This

       is getting fun!

  56. All just for the Hell of it!

  57. Just in case we've left  anybody out, let's also despise Canadians  and

       blondes and stupid people!  We must have, what, something like  99.98%

       of the Earth's population covered by now?

  58. But the keen  and the neato, the  free and the brave,  ye are brothers!

       All seven of you!

  59. So just to make sure you  don't get bored, fight each other as  well as

       the rest of humanity!

  60. There is no law beyond Do it, then wilt.

  61. There is an  end to the word  of the Head Honcho  of the Aeon, but  not

       yet, apparently.

  62. To me kiss  up by getting clobbered  over and over trying  to implement

       all these silly  instructions.  If  this is bliss,  I think I'll  take

       sorrow.

  63. The  fool takes  one look  at this  Book of  the In-Laws,  makes a rude

       comment, and resolves to wait for the movie.

  64. Let  him come  through the  first ordeal,  and it  shall be  to him  as

       evidence submitted to support his lawsuit.

  65. Through  the second,  material for  unknown rock  groups to  include in

       otherwise inane lyrics.

  66. Through the third, a source of dozens of pithy aphorisms with which  to

       amaze one's friends and alarm one's family.

  67. Through the fourth, overly exalted and poorly understood material  just

       waiting for a good parody.

  68. Yet to  all it shall  seem like a  good excuse for  doing whatever they

       wanted to do anyway.

  69. There  is success  just ahead,  a light  at the  end of  the tunnel;  I

       promise the troops will be home by Crowleymas.

  70. I am the chicken-livered Lord of Silence and Hiding; I am afraid of the

       dark.

  71. Hey!  You  warriors over by the  pillars!  Your coffee  break is almost

       over!

  72. I am the guy with the wand of Double Power, baby; the wand of the force

       of OY  VEY -  but my  left hand  is empty,  for I  crushed a  beer can

       yesterday, and sprained my thumb.

  73.  Paste  the  sheets  from  right  to  left and from top to bottom, then

       behold!  A very large sheet of paper!

  74. There is a  Secret in the name  of PASADENA, hidden and  foamy, just as

       the sun at midnight seldom gives you a good tan.

  75. How do you keep a Thelemite in suspense?


                                  THE END --

                                  Or Is It???


                                 Aargh.  Huh?


  [Ed. Note:  The  manuscript to the Book  of the Inlaws was  discovered in a

                              FROM THE XAO PALACE


                                 by Soror Gaia


                Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law


   The  BBQ  feast  to  raise  money  to  perform  our Gnostic Mass in larger

  quarters was a triumph.   Forty people attended  the feast, sharing in  the

  fun, sun and  food.  I  express a hearty  thanks to the  9 visible, who  by

  purchasing tickets in advance, showed bravery in their support, and to  the

  other 31 wondrous  guests, who I  knew in my  heart were coming.  Come they

  did, from Baphomet Lodge, from Heru-Ra-Ha, from family and friends.

   Thank you, Gilda  for friendship, inspiration,  drive, and your  wonderful

  cooking. Working with you to create this event was a pleasure.  Thank  you,

  Soror Timshel for your  delicious pasta salad, and  for being the best  BBQ

  grill hand we could hope for.

   I must share  that when only  nine folks bought  tickets, I did  not think

  there was much support for my crazy idea of having a benefit to raise money

  for a Mass  hall rental.   But, I'm a  dedicated party giver,  just for the

  sake of the event, 'cause it's in my heart to share, and I love to play  in

  this way.

   There I sat the night before  the feast, having bought and cooked  for 40,

  (A college  text, Food  for Fifty,  the last  vestige of  a long  abandoned

  career  calls  after  me,  "Use  Me!!")  and  all  I could think of now was

  creating my  own Stele  of Appealing,  a magical  menu for  the party.  For

  those that did not attend, I can disclose that we did indeed eat the  famed

  BBQ Baphomet Chicken, Universes on a Stick, Elemental Disk Tostadas, Sacred

  Xao Burgers, and Abremelin Cinnamon Biscuits.  There was much more, but why

  go on?

   (Recipes are available upon request.)

   Bottom line, we raised the money,  we will find a hall, and  openly invite

  and encourage new people to attend when the Mass is presented.


                       Love is the law, love under will

                          BAPHOMET WANTS YOUR BOOKS!


               Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.


   The  Baphomet  Lodge  Library  has  at  last found a home: the Xanadu-like

  pleasure gardens (and adjoining apartment) of Bagh-i-muattar Camp!   Having

  established a Lodge Library, we have now ahead of us only the trivial  task

  of providing it with books.  This, needless to say, is where you, the loyal

  members and friends of Baphomet Lodge, come in.

   Search through those massive piles of books which have prevented you  from

  reaching two-thirds of your home for the last few years, and donate several

  hundred (or at least one or two)  to the Lodge Library.  We are  interested

  in obtaining anything  which would be  of interest to  other Lodge members.

  This primarily includes  books on Magick,  Yoga, philosophy, and  the like,

  but given  the diversity  of our  lodge could  run the  gamut from  "Love's

  Savage  Sweat"  to  "The  C  Programming  Language."    We  already  have a

  collection of  approximately 30  books and  4 videotapes  on diverse topics

  donated by Lodge members and friends.

   Even as I write, mysterious and arcane ceremonies are being planned  which

  will allow  us to  formulate a  lending policy  for the  Library.   Also, a

  catalog of the Library  will soon be evoked  into BAGHIAC, the ultimate  in

  computer  sophistication  in  southern  Claremont;  catalog  copies will be

  available on request.  For now,  Lodge members are invited to visit  scenic

  Bagh-i-muattar Camp to gaze in awe  at (and perhaps even use) the  Library.

  Please give us a day or two of notice before you drop by.


                       Love is the law, love under will.


                                                                 Frater Ehubi

                Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law


   Well, just when  you thought it  was safe to  go to the  mailbox ... Bang!

  Out  pops  yet  another  Baphomet  Breeze.    Things were hectic in the old

  editing room, this quarter.   The Lodge got  a new master, just  in time to

  toss a  little uncertainty  in the  contents of  this issue.   Some  of the

  material planned to appear this quarter was never located, the rest came in

  way past the deadline.  Who ever said the newsletter business was boring!

   After all  is said  and done,  however, we  still have  quite an  array of

  interesting material  to present  this time.   Of  course, the long-awaited

  third chapter  of Liber  Call Me  AL, the  next installment  of the  Astron

  story, and even our first PAID advertisement!

   The Hermes Camp electronic bulletin board, TahutiNet, has been doing great

  with 109 new callers to date.  Last quarter we had nine requests for sample

  issues of the Breeze, and this quarter  we have forty.  At least two  local

  Lodge members have acquired modems and  three of the articles in this  very

  issue were submitted  electronically.  In  addition, all three  chapters of

  Liber Call Me AL are available in electronic form.

   The UnderXao and I have been attending the Seventh Annual Rites of Eleusis

  at  Heru-Ra-Ha  Lodge  over  the  past  couple  of  months.  Unfortunately,

  confusion occurred in  the Camp as  the last issue  was being prepared  and

  most of the Rites  failed to be listed  in the Breeze calendar.   Check the

  calendar this issue for the remainder of the series.

   I have been asked to also point out that in the last quarter, at least two

  marriage  announcements  and  two  pregnancies  have occurred in the Lodge.

  This should come as no surprise,  since the word of the Spring  Equinox was

  joy.  Not coincidentally, the I Ching hexgram for this Equinox is family.

   Along with the changes at the helm come other changes.  I have assumed the

  duties of Secretary of Baphomet Lodge under our new Master, Soror  Setchem.

  In the coming months,  there will be changes  in the Lodge mailing  address

  and phone number.  Please bear with us in this time of growth.


                       Love is the law, love under will

  THE HUMAN TOUCH

  (with thanks to Kenneth A.)


  High thoughts and noble in all lands help me.

  My soul is fed by such:

  But ah, the touch of lips and hands,

  The human touch!

  Warm, vital, close, life's symbols dear,

  These need I most, and now and here.


                                                             - Richard Burton

                                 by Don Belvik


  1. "One size fits all."

  2. "Trust me."

  3. "Any similarity  between characters in  this book and  persons living or

       dead is purely coincidental."

  4. "I meant it at the time."

  5. "This won't hurt much."

  6. "It shouldn't take more than half an hour."

  7. "I can show you how to double your income in just ten hours a week."

  8. "It's for your own good."

  9. "And, if I'm elected..."

  10. "Yes, I'm eighteen."

  11. "But Your Honor, she said she was eighteen."

  12. "God told me."

  13. "In fact, I use one myself."

  14. "It's on my desk right now."

  15. "It probably got lost in the mail."

  16. "Of course I'll remember"

  17. "They wouldn't print it if it weren't true."

  18. "Nothing."

  19. "Nowhere special.  Just out."

  20. "No one interesting is available."

  21. "The policeman is your friend."

  22. "We make them do it to build character."

  23. "Sorry.  I'm busy."

  24. "I'll be busy then, too."

  25. "We're here to help you."

  26. "And we're happy to have you with us."

  27. "There's nothing to worry about."

  28. "Child-resistant safety cap."

  29. "You truly deserve this award."

  30. "But Officer, I've never done this before."

  31. "Honest."

  32. "Can I be of service?"

  33. "I love you."

  34. (Don Belvik wrote this all by himself.)

                               The Call to Glory


                                by Frater C.Z.


  Achtung!  My faithful crewmen

  Attendance is mandatory, for those who remain alive

  It's not too late, no time nor date

  As the band has yet to arrive


  Dress uniforms with medals

  Bright buckles, shined shoes, stand tall

  We all got our invitation

  Our Captain's Waltzing Matilda Ball.


  Out ship's course is set dead ahead

  And dark clouds ominous loom

  For the Sirens of the Skies do beckon us

  To their Glorious Bosoms of Doom
