of the A ∴ A ∴ ]

Persons wishing for information, assistance, further

interpretation, etc., are requested to communicate with

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE A ∴ A ∴

c/o T HE E QUINOX ,

3 Great James Street,

W.C.

Telephone: C ITY 8987,

or to call at that address by appointment. A representative

will be there to meet them.

T HE Chancellor of the A ∴ A ∴ considers it desirable to

make a brief statement of the financial position, as the time

has now arrived to make an effort to spread the knowledge

to the ends of the earth. The expenses of the propaganda

are roughly estimated as follows

Maintenance of Temple, and service .

£200 p.a.

Publications .

£200 p.a.

Advertising, electrical expenses, etc. .

£200 p.a.

Maintenance of an Hermitage where poor

Brethren may make retirements .

£200 p.a.

£800 p.a.

As in the past, the persons responsible for the movement

will give the whole of their time and energy, as well as their

worldy wealth, to the service of the A ∴ A ∴

Unfortunately, the sums at their disposal do not at

present suffice for the contemplated advance, and the Chan-

cellor consequently appeals for assistance to those who have

found in the instructions of the A ∴ A ∴ a sure means to

the end they sought. All moneys received will be applied

solely for the purpose of aiding those who have not yet

entered the circle of the light.

Owing to the unnecessary strain thrown upon Neophytes

by unprepared persons totally ignorant of the groundwork

taking the Oath of a Probationer, the Imperator of A ∴ A ∴ ,

under the seal and by the authority of V.V.V.V.V., ordains

that every person wishing to become a Probationer of A ∴ A ∴

must first pass three months as a Student of the Mysteries.

He must possess the following books:

1. The E QUINOX , from No. 1 to the present number.

2. Raja Yoga, by Swami Vivekananda.

3. The Shiva Sanhita, or The Hathayoga

Pradipika.

4. Konx Om Pax.

5. The Spiritual Guide, by Miguel de Molinos.

6. 777.

7. Rituel et Dogme de la haute Magie, par Eliphaz

Levi, or its translation, by A. E. Waite.

8. The Goetia of the Lemegeton of Solomon the

King.

9. Tannhuser by A. Crowley.

10. The Sword of Song, by A. Crowley.

11. Time, by A. Crowley.

12. Eleusis, by A. Crowley.

[These last four items are to be found in his

Collected Works.]

13. The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-melin

the Mage.

14. The Tao Teh King and the Writings of Kwang Tzu

(Sacred Books of the East, Vols. XXXIX, XL)

An examination in these books will be made. The Student

is expected to show a thorough acquaintance with them, but

not necessarily to understand them in any deeper sense. On

passing the examination he may be admitted to the grade of

Probationer.

iii

Probationers are reminded that the object of Probations

and Ordeals is one: namely, to select Adepts. But the

method appears twofold: (i) to fortify the fit; (ii) to eliminate

the unfit.

The Chancellor of the A ∴ A ∴ views without satisfaction

the practice of Probationers working together. A Probationer

should work with his Neophyte, or alone. Breach of this rule

may prove a bar to advancement.

valuable preliminary training.]
