LIBER DX - Book 510

Liber Portae Secretae
sub figurâ DX

being the Book of the
Averse Adorations of the Sun

by Frater V & Frater S.U.A.

unicursal hexagram

Liber Portae Secretae, was not authored by Aleister Crowley but first circulated by Frater V (J. Daniel Gunther) and Frater S.U.A. (Martin Starr) in the early 1990s, is presented as a true counterpart to the famous Liber Resh vel Helios.

Given the speculative nature of newly revealed “secret rituals” within esoteric communities, the introduction of Liber Portae Secretae sub figura DX, being the Book of the Averse Adorations of the Sun into the canon of the A∴A∴, as led by figures such as J. Daniel Gunther and Bill Breeze, highlights an intriguing development in contemporary Thelemic practice. This text, purportedly exclusive to a particular lineage of the A∴A∴ in close cooperation with the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), represents a significant attempt at deepening the mysteries and allure of Thelemic magical practice. As described, it serves as an “inner court of Mysteries”, complementing the O.T.O.’s broader, more generalistic approach to Thelemic brotherhood, aiming to provide a more profound and nuanced path for initiates.

The adorations as taught by thy Superior

“let Asar be the adorant” [Liber CCXX I:49]

Beginning the adorations, let the aspirant face East, or as some say, the North[2], and assume the attitude called SA (Man) 𓀀SA, that is Asar. Let him then cry out,

“Unity uttermost showed!
I adore the might of Thy breath,
Supreme and terrible God,
Who makest the gods and death
To tremble before Thee:—
I, I adore thee!”

[to the East]

Appear on the throne of Ra!

[to the South][3]

Open the ways of the Khu!

[to the West]

Lighten the ways of the Ka!

[to the North]

“The ways of the Khabs run through
To stir me or still me!
Aum! Let it kill me!
The light is mine; its rays consume
Me: I have made a secret door
Into the House of Ra and Tam,
Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.”

Lifting the hands, assume the attitude that is called DUA (Adoration) 𓀃 DUA, and chant:

“Mu pa telai,
Tu wa melai
ā, ā, ā
Tu fu tulu!
Tu fu tulu
Pa, Sa, Ga.”

Translation:

“Silence! the moon ceaseth (her motion)
That also was sweet
In the air, in the air, in the air!
Who Will shall attain!
Who Will shall attain
By the Moon, and by Myself, and by the
Angel of the Lord!”

Turning ninety degrees widdershins assume the attitude that is called HAI (Rejoicing) 𓀠 HAI, and chant:

“Qwi Mu telai
Ya Pa melai;
ū, ū, ū.
Se gu melai;
Pe fu telai,
Futu lu”

Translation:

“Now Silence ceaseth
And the moon waxeth sweet;
(It is the hour of) Initiation, Initiation, Initiation.
The kiss of Isis is honeyed;
My own Will is ended,
For Will hath attained.”

Again, turn ninety degrees widdershins and assume the attitude called AASH (Summons) 𓀞 AASH, and chant:

“O chi balae
Wa pa malae:—
Ūt! Ūt! Ūt!
Ge; fu latrai,
Le fu malai
Kūt! Hūt! Nūt.”

Translation:

“Behold the lion-child swimmeth (in the heaven)
And the moon recleth:—
(It is) Thou! (It is) Thou! (It is) Thou!
Triumph; the Will scealeth away (like a thief),
The Strong Will that staggered
Before Ra Hoor Khuit! — Hadit! — Nuit!”

Turn another ninety degrees widdershins assuming the attitude that is called HENU (praise) 𓀊 HENU and chant:

“Al Ōāī
Rel moai
Ti—Ti—Ti!
Wa la pelai
Tu fu latai
Wi, Ni, Bi.”

Translation:

“To the God OAI
Be praise
In the end and the beginning!
And may none fall
Who Wil attain
The Sword, the Balances, the Crown!”

Returning to face the Spiritual East, let the aspirant then assume the attitude called NETER (god) 𓀭 NETER. In this posture, let the aspirant say:

“I am the Lord of Thebes, and I
The inspired forth-speaker of Mentu;
For me unveils the veiled sky,
The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu
Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greet
Thy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit!”

And let him sing:

“Aka dua
Tuf ur biu
Bi a'a chefu
Du du ner af an Nuteru.”

Then let the aspirant compose Himself into holy meditation.

Explanation of the points of the Adorations

SA

(1) SA. The candidate assumes the posture of the uninitiated man, that is Asar or Osiris. With the initial and supreme adoration, he stands facing the Spiritual East, hailing the hidden son. Turning upon his axis deosil, he identifies himself with the sun so that he may invoke the Force whereby the secret door may be opened.

In the East (♉ {Taurus}= ו {v}) he summons He who sits upon the Throne of Ra.
In the South (♌ {Leo} = ט {t}) he seeks that which opens his magical garment which is his Khu.
In the West (♏ {Scorpio}= נ {n}) he prays for Light upon the ways of his Ka, by which We mean The Holy Guardian angel.
In the North (♒ {Aquarius} = ה {h}) he proclaims the identity of his own Khabs (Star) with the Star of Uttermost Unity.

Thus, he forms ו {v} + ט {t} + נ {n} + ה {h} = 70 = ע {j}= 𓂀

Eye of Horus

DUA

(2) North: DUA. The posture is that of the adorant and the Ape of Thoth.

He then chants the first of the four adorations of OAI facing the Spiritual East.

He adores the sun in the North, the place of greatest darkness and silence, as Asar the adorant, blind unto Himself. Yet his chant is the oath to attain by the aid of the Silver Star, and by his Perfection through his Holy Guardian Angel. Thus, in his chant, for the “Moon” the aspirant should understand The Priestess of the Silver Star. By “Myself” the aspirant should not consider Asar, but Asar-un-Nefer, and if he has wisdom, that which is beyond Him.

At midnight, let the aspirant meditate upon Liber CCXX III.74.

"There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son."

HAI

(3) West: HAI He looks toward Amenti, the place of death. He lifts his hands in the sign of Rejoicing, for his joy is that which is beyond Asar, foremost of the Westeners. As it is written, “These are dead, these fellows; they feel not. We are not for the poor and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk. Is a God to live in a dog? No! but the highest are of us. They shall rejoice, our chosen: who sorroweth is not of us.” (Liber CCXX 11:18-19).

The posture called “Rejoicing” must not be confused with The Sign of Shu or the Sign of Isis in Welcome, although its similarity to the latter should be noted. Likewise, the aspirant should consider the hieroglyph for the Ka KA 𓂓. He should consider the threefold occurrence of “Initiation” in the chant as Axes 𓊹𓊹𓊹 .

At sunset let the aspirant meditate on Liber CCXX I:64.

"I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky."

A'ASH

(4) South: A’ASH. He holds his hand out in the Sign of “Summons,” adoring the power of the Lion-Serpent-Sun, and calling unto Him of whom it is written, “For Thou art He.” (Liber LXV IV:25)

At noon let the aspirant meditate on Liber CCXX I:8-9 and Liber CCXX II:2.

"The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs.
Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you!"

Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been revealed.
I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am not extended, and Khabs is the name of my House.

HENU

(5) East: HENU. He looks to the East assuming the ritual attitude of Praise before the Invisible One upon the Invisible Throne, whose eidolon is the Golden Hawk of the brilliant dawn.

At dawn let the aspirant meditate on Liber CCXX I:49 and Liber LXV I:22.

"Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating."

"Happy are they that praise thee; for they see thee with Mine eyes."

NETER

(6) North: NETER. Completing the cycle in the North, the aspirant retires in the form of Asar-un-Nefer, man made Perfect in the sign of Neter. He is no longer mere mortal man, but God made flesh and dwelling among us. “I am alone: there is no God where I am.” (Liber CCXX II:23)

“The other images group around me to support me: let all be worshipped, for they shall cluster to exalt me. I am the visible object of worship; the others are secret; for the Beast & his Bride are they: and for the winners of the Ordeal x. What is this? Thou shalt know.” (Liber CCXX, III:22)

Love is the law, love under will.

Given this 2nd Day of November, An IV.
Being the year 1993 e.v.,
☉ in 11° ♏
☽ in 25° ♊
V.Fra. R.R. et A.C.


Notes:

[1] See: Liber Aleph 154 Εψ: "it is the Path of the Lion that bindeth he two Highest Faculties of thy Mind. Again, it is Mau, the Sun at Brightness of high Noon, that is called the Lion, very lordly, in our Holy Invocation.”

[2] The Spiricual East is opposite the position of the Sun at the zenith of its are, at Noon. For example, it is North in Europe and North America, South in southern Australia.

[3] See: Changes are necessary in North/South when the ritual is performed south of the latitude of the Sun. East and West are unaffected.
