Magick .Crowley on the Magical Weapons
In "
Magick (Book 4) ", Part II "(Magick)",Aleister Crowley wrote::"The Magician works in a "
Temple "; theUniverse , which is (be it remembered!) conterminous with himself. In this Temple a "Circle" is drawn upon the floor for the limitation of his working. This circle is protected by divine names, the influences on which he relies to keep out hostile thoughts. Within the circle stands an "Altar ", the solid basis on which he works, the foundation of all. Upon the Altar are his "Wand ", "Cup", "Sword ", and "Pantacle ", to represent his Will, his Understanding, hisReason , and the lower parts of his being, respectively. On the Altar, too, is a phial of "Oil", surrounded by a "Scourge ", a "Dagger ", and a "Chain", while above the Altar hangs a "Lamp". The Magician wears a "Crown", a single "Robe ", and a "Lamen", and he bears a "Book of Conjurations" and a "Bell".:"The oil consecrates everything that is touched with it; it is his aspiration; all acts performed in accordance with that are holy. The scourge tortures him; the dagger wounds him; the chain binds him. It is by virtue of these three that his aspiration remains pure, and is able to consecrate all other things. He wears a Crown crown to affirm his lordship, his divinity; a robe to symbolize silence, and a lamen to declare his work. The book of spells or conjurations is his magical record, his
Karma . In the East is the "Magick Fire", in which all burns up at last."References
