We now continue, from part 1, with a consideration of Aleister Crowley and the (in)famous motto “Do what thou wilt.” Crowley referred to himself as “Baphomet,” “The Beast 666,” “To Mega Therion (the great best)” and was known as the wickedest or most wicked man in the world.
Chapter 2 of the Book of the Law notes that this is now “the hiding of Hadit…I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu.” It goes on for a while with Hadit self-describing itself and offering words of wisdom such as v. 19, “Is a God to live in a dog? No!” And, well, maybe Hadit is in a dog since it also states v. 23, “I am alone: there is no God where I am.” Makes you think twice about David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam, who claimed that a satanic dog was urging him to commit mass murder.
Verse 21 states, “We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down the wretched & the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world.” The Christmas song goes:
Joy to the world!
The Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart / Prepare Him room.
Hadit’s song would go:
Joy to the world!
Have nothing with the outcast and the unfit.
Let them die in their misery.
Compassion is the vice of kings.
Stamp down the wretched & the weak.
This is the law of the strong.
Well, Adolf Hitler and social Darwinists / eugenicists would have loved it.
Pay close attention to the terminology in the rest of v. 21, “Think not, o king, upon that lie: That Thou Must Die: verily thou shalt not die, but live.” Does this sound familiar?:
The woman [Eve] said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’”
The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! (Genesis 3:2-4).
Verse 21 then notes that “If the body of the King” recall that this it the king for whom compassion is a vice and who would not die “dissolve, he shall remain in pure ecstasy for ever.” So apparently, the inhumane king will not die but die, dissolve and be in eternal ectacy.
Verse 21 ends by listing names such as Nuit and Hadit and states, not surprisingly and in keeping with our correlation to Genesis’ serpent, “these are for the servants of the Star & the Snake.”
But we have not heard the last of the snake as v. 22 elucidates the sacred rites of the snake:
I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge & Delight and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship me take wine and strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet, & be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this.
Herein is revealed the deepest secret of all mystery religions, secret societies, Illuminati, Freemasonry, occult, satanic, magick, etc. by any other name. This is the luciferian doctrine; that they serpent, the snake, lucifer brought enlightenment to humanity. Note that it was stated that the Snake that giveth Knowledge and consider the following:
The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die” (Genesis 2:16-17).
It is about this tree of knowledge that the serpent said to the woman:
“You surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
This was later played out in the myth of Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. This luciferian myth is replayed every few years in the mass ritual known as the Olympics which begins with the lighting on the Promethean torch. The brilliant knowledge of the snake is that its followers are to worship it with wine, strange drugs, lust along with assurances that in this there is no harm and that no God will deny you for doing such things. Well, no false god would but the one true and living God, YHVH, loves you way too much to not have warned you about such destructive practices.
In v. 24 we get another part of the definition of “love” within this context which is, “Love one another with burning hearts; on the low men trample in the fierce lust of your pride, in the day of your wrath.”
Verses 26-27 brings us back to the Garden of Eden, to the coiled rising kundalini in short: to “that serpent of old who is called the devil satan” (Revelation 12:9 and 20:2), “I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there is joy. If I lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one. If I droop down mine head, and shoot forth venom, then is rapture of the earth, and I and the earth are one. There is great danger in me…”
By now we know that when v. 35 states, “Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy & beauty!” it refers to drunken, drugged out lust and acting in uncompassionate ways.
There is some esoteric reference to whatever dogs are in this context such as in v. 27 “shall fall down into the pit…and there he shall perish with the dogs of Reason” and v. 45 “The is death for the dogs.”
For some more moral context note vss. 48-49, 52 “Pity not the fallen! I never knew them. I am not for them. I console not: I hate the consoled & the consoler. I am unique & conqueror. I am not of the slaves that perish. Be they damned & dead! Amen…veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter.”
Beyond encouraging ruthlessness rewards are promised for the exercise of vice.
Here are some other points of interest:
60. Therefore strike hard & low, and to hell with them, master!…
65. I am the Master: thou art the Holy Chosen One.
72. …death is the crown of all.
73. Ah! Ah! Death! Death! thou shalt long for death. Death is forbidden, o man, unto thee.
74. …He that lives long & desires death much is ever the King among the Kings.
77. O be thou proud and mighty among men!
78. Lift up thyself! for there is none like unto thee among men or among Gods! Lift up thyself, o my prophet, thy stature shall surpass the stars. They shall worship thy name, foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the number of the man; and the name of thy house…
All this stuff about being proud, lifting oneself up, such that “there is none like unto thee among men or among Gods” and that “thy stature shall surpass the stars” to the point that “They shall worship thy name” sounds familiar:
How you have fallen from heaven, O Heylel [some translate as lucifer]son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!
But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
“Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit Isaiah 14:12-15).
Note that this chapter contained many esoteric references to colors and numbers and in verse 76 a long and odd string of numbers and letters is followed by the question and answer, “What meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever. There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it.” And with that we come to “The end of the hiding of Hadit; and blessing & worship to the prophet of the lovely Star!”

Walter Martin’s The Kingdom of the Occult
Ron Rhodes’ The Truth Behind Ghosts, Mediums, and Psychic Phenomena
Philip G. Davis’ Goddess Unmasked – The Rise of Neopagan Feminist Spirituality
Davis “argued that Wicca was the creation of an English civil servant and amateur anthropologist named Gerald B. Gardner…the origins of the Goddess movement lay in an interest among the German and French Romantics-mostly men-in natural forces, especially those linked with women. Gardner admired the Romantics and belonged to a Rosicrucian society called the Fellowship of Crotona-a group that was influenced by several late-nineteenth-century occultist groups, which in turn were influenced by Freemasonry.”
Ronald Hutton’s The Triumph of the Moon
Hutton “conducted detailed research into the known pagan practices of prehistory [but] could find no conclusive evidence of the coven from which [Gerald] Gardner said he had learned the Craft, and argued that the ‘ancient’ religion Gardner claimed to have discovered was a mélange of material from relatively modern sources.”
Robin Briggs’ Witches and Neighbors
Briggs “pored over the documents of European witch trials and concluded that most of them took place during a relatively short period…The accused witches, far from including a large number of independent-minded women, were mostly poor and unpopular. Their accusers were typically ordinary citizens (often other women), not clerical or secular authorities. In fact, the authorities generally disliked trying witchcraft cases and acquitted more than half of all defendants. Briggs also discovered that none of the accused witches who were found guilty and put to death had been charged specifically with practicing a pagan religion.”
