LIBER CCCXVI


I have created the following work as an aid to the magician - Liber S.U.A.T. shows some of the magical 'entities' connected to Thelema and the Great Work of the Prophet of the Aeon of Horus; it also assists in the organisation of Feast Days and other 'celebrations'.
My apologies for those 'stars' not mentioned who undoubtedly are also worthy - the list is endless and not fixed. Therefore, the work can be extended to each brother and sister's preference, and their own names and attainments added etc.
It is the bones on which to hang the robe of one's own Magick Light!

Ruling you, your priest, I serve you,
Being life, and being love.
