DUTY
A note on the chief rules of practical conduct to be observed by those who accept the Law of Thelema.
THE CHARIOT : ATU VII
The Child of the Powers of the Waters, The Lord of the Triumph of Light –
Zodiacal Trump of Cancer – Moon Rules – Jupiter Exalted – Hebrew Letter: Cheth (Fence)
The Issue of the Vulture, Two-in-One,
conveyed; this is the Chariot of Power.
TRINC: the last oracle.
THE LOVERS : ATU VI
The Children of the Voice: the Oracle of the Mighty Gods – Zodiacal Trump of Gemini – Mercury Rules – Dragon’s Head Exalted – Hebrew letter: Zain (Sword)
The Oracle of the Gods is the Child-Voice of
Love in Thine own Soul; hear thou it!
Heed not the Siren-Voice of Sense, or the
Phantom-Voice of Reason: rest in Simplicity,
and listen to the Silence.
THE HIEROPHANT : ATU V
The Magus of the Eternal – Zodiacal Trump of Taurus – Venus Rules – Luna Exalted – Hebrew Letter: Vau (Nail)
Offer thyself Virgin to the Knowledge and
Conversation of thine Holy Guardian Angel!
All else is a snare.
Be thou athlete with the eight limbs of Yoga:
for without these thou are not disciplined for any fight.
THE EMPRESS : ATU III
The Daughter of the Mighty Ones – Planetary Trump of Venus – Alchemical Salt – Hebrew Letter: Daleth (Door)
This is the Harmony of the Universe, that Love
unites the Will to create with the Under-
standing of that Creation: understand thou
thine own Will!
Love and let love. Rejoice in every shape of
love, and get thy rapture and thy nourishment
thereof.
