Hay un solo dios...y Bafoma es su Profeta.
Diaconus it ad locum suum inter altarem turis et fontem, ad Orientem advertit, et gradum ac signum Hominis Fratrisque facit. Omnes imitantur hunc motum. DIACONUS et POPULI: Credo in unum Dominum secretum ineffibilem; et in unam Stellam in coeto Stellarum ex igne cuius creamur et quam rediverimus; et in unum Patrem Vit�, Mysterium Mysterii, in nomine suo CHAOS, solum Solis vicegerentem super Terram; et in unum Aera nutrorem omnis qui respirat. Et credo in unam Terram, Matrem omnium nostrum; et in unam Vulvam in quo omnes homines gignuntur et in quo requicescent, Mysterium Mysterii, in nomine suo BABALON. Et credo in Serpentem et Leonem, Mysterium Mysterii, in nomine suo BAPHOMET. Et credo in unam Ecclesiam Gnosticam Catholicam Lucis, Vit�, Amoris, Libertatisque, cuius Legis Verbum est QELHMA. Et credo in Sanctorum communionem. Et quoniam caro potioque transmutantur in substantiam spiritualem cottidie in nobis, credo in Miraculum Miss�. Et confiteor unum Baptisma Sapienti� per quam efficimus Miraculum Incarnationis. Et confiteor vitam meam, unam, individuam, et �ternam; qu� erat est erit in s�cula s�culorum. AUMGN. AUMGN. AUMGN.
I believe in one secret and ineffable LORD; and in one Star in the Company of Stars of whose fire we are created, and to which we shall return; and in one Father of Life, Mystery of Mystery, in His name CHAOS, the sole viceregent of the Sun upon the Earth; and in one Air the nourisher of all that breathes.
And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name BABALON.
And I believe in the Serpent and the Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in His name BAPHOMET.
And I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA. And I believe in the communion of Saints. And, forasmuch as meat and drink are transmuted in us daily into spiritual substance, I believe in the Miracle of the Mass.And I confess one Baptism of Wisdom whereby we accomplish the Miracle of Incarnation. And I confess my life one, individual, and eternal that was, and is, and is to come.
An' it harm none,do thy will.
Bide the Wiccan Rede ye must,in perfect love & perfect trust....
Live ye must, and let to live...soft of eye, and light of touch, Speak ye little, listen much...
Heed the flower,bush or tree, By the Lady Blessed Be....Merry meet and merry part, Bright the cheeks, warm the heart,Mind the threefold law ye should, three times bad and three times good...
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill, An' it harm none,do thy will.
Love, & do thy will.
An it harm none, do what ye will; if harm it does, do what ye must.
for the realization in each member, of the ideal expressed by the formula: "Existence is pure joy"
A "houding" (attitude) is necessary - of course...and here the Tao is the best guide perhaps. Irrespective:
Internally this attitude should have unshifting equilibrium; Externally, fluid balance.
We are but "children under the stars", on a grail-quest to seek our "fill of love"
And thus, although "excess" here, is a virtue also, responsible discretion at all times will still be expected & will be appreciated.
each must recognize the other's equal and literal, as opposed to theoretical, right and will
And just what is this right? Quite simply & truly said:
It is to be understood, we are unaffiliated to and not an Initiatory Body representing any Order,(e.g. The Order of the Oriental Temple;the Orders of the Golden Dawn; Hermetic & Thelemic and the August Order of the Silver Star)
