Ch. Ad. parts curtain, makes Pent, with Torch,knocks and withdraws.

2nd Ad. Hon. Hiereus, you have my permission to pre-sent the Philosophus with the necessary admissionBadge. Instruct him in the proper alarm and admithim.

/Is. salutes, makes Qab. Cross and goes out. Hegives Lamen to Phil, who knocks nil 1. Hegemonopens door. Phil, enters, gives Qab. Cross. Hegemonreturns to place. Hs. takes Phil, to W. and pointsout Diagram of Malkuth.

Hiereus. Herein has been established the Equated Cross,which is ruler over the Kingdom of Matter. ThisSymbol may be found even upon the crowns ofthe Kings of this Earth.

Hands Phil. Tau Portal.

The Letter Tau leads from the Airy quarter of Mal-kuth into Yesod. Air is uppermost in the Symbol asin the Planet Earth where the atmosphere is furthestfrom the core. Moreover, the Letter Tau signifieththe Cross, the impact of Spirit upon matter. MyLamen is given you as your Badge,, for I am theRuler in Malkuth, and the Guardian against theunderworld. I am also Lord of the Path I au, thelink between the first and second degrees, and alsobetween the Outer and the Inner. This Path of Tau,dark and full of mystery, under the presidency ofSaturn and the Tarot Key of The Universe, leads,

as you have learnt in the 2 — 9 Grade, through theAstral Plane. Therefore, in the Ritual of the 32ndPath, you were passed by the Four Kerubic Sta-tions, as a fore-shadowing of the Rites of the Cross,the full completion of the First Order which youhave now accomplished.

Having traversed the Path of Tau, the darknessof the Astral Plane and of the Black Pillar, standfirm in Yesod, that the Black Pillar may becomethe White.

Hs. takes away Tau after leading Phil, to IIeg. atAltar. IIeg. rises but stands between Phil, and theAltar, so that Phil, does not too clearly apprehendthe change of Symbols.

IIeg. Before you, in the East, are the Five Portals ofthe 21 st, 24th, 25th, 26th and 23rd Paths. Five willdivide the Number of the Letter of each of them,as it will divide without remainder that of everyPath from Yod 20th, to Tau, the 32nd. The FivePaths here visible are assigned to Mem, Water;Ayin, Capricornus, an Earthy Sign; Samech, Sag-gitarius, a Fiery Sign; Nun, Scorpio, a Watery Sign,but in its highest aspect also a Ruler of Fire; andKaph, Jupiter, which Planet is akin to Spirit, andrules especially Aspiration. Thus both in Numberand in significance these Planets jointly set forththe eternal symbol of the Pentagram. This Symbolmust now be established — wherefore advancingby the Kerubic Path of Aquarius approach thehighest in Netzach.

IIeg. leads Phil, to foot of Dais to 2nd Ad. beforeKaph and Nun.

znd Ad. Wherefore do you stand at the base of the WhitePillar, being but Lord of the First Degree?

Phil. (prompted) I seek the Path of Kaph, the Path ofAspiration.
