    Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

  1. Behold! I am He! the ANTICHRIST of the World. And I, even I, come
among you, my brethren, to enlighten your understanding. Thus do I now
make my true Manifesto unto you, that you may know the Truth, and that
the Truth may set you free!

  2. It is I, the Logos, who speak unto you. And lo! I shake the
invisible & the visible alike! For I am the one from the unexpected
house, the child of My Father, the Beast 666. And my hour is come; my
word shall prevail; and I shall bring all men and women to the Law of
Thelema, which is "Do what thou wilt."

  3. Thus do I now cast my terrible spell upon you, to illumine your
darkness, that you may understand the mysteries of my Word, and thus
partake of the Sacrament of Freedom, and rejoice!

  4. Now shall you know me, the ANTICHRIST, in my holy image as the
Eagle, the bird of liberty whose vast wings overshadow the United
Nation. And this, our holy Nation, shall accept the Law of Thelema in
my name, and it shall be the first nation of the earth.

  5. In this holy image I am like unto the Phoenix of Power, whose
rebirth is from the ashes of the secret sacrifice. Such is the mystery
of the annihilation of all: such is the mystery of the rebirth of all.

  6. In this image shall you also know me as the sacrifice of the Rose
& Cross, and as the promised Child of the Sun & Moon. Thus am I
concealed in the image of my Father BAPHOMET, and in man I am
revealed.

  7. I am the mystery of Love itself, the lust & spirit of unity
aflame with the infinite passion for the Unknown. Thus are all things
made one, in me, by virtue of my secret force; and in this light there
is the unspeakable joy, the ineffable bliss, the orgasmic ecstasy of
the ages.

  8. To you I am come to preach the Word of my Father BAPHOMET, whose
true successor and holy image I am. I am my Father in man, the Son of
BAPHOMET, who conspires in all to make freedom prevail on earth. It is
I, the all in all; and in man I accomplish my Will, to establish the
Word of My Father.

  9. There were those before me, chosen in my Father; but it was they
who failed, being untrue of heart, and of these one even exploded into
naught. I am not of them; they are but fallen! Success is my proof;
and in my name Thelema will prevail! And so shall there be a feast in
my name: the chosen ones shall celebrate the birth & death of the
child, whose hour is now at hand.

  10. And lo! I come up out of the earth, having two horns like a
lamb, and I speak as a dragon! It is I, the ANTICHRIST, and I shall
bring to an end the false god of the foolish folk, making every man
and every woman a god in their own right. Yea! I shall slay the
Christ! and all shall be set free! And so shall all come to the
supreme truth: There is no God but Man.

  11. Now I am come, on earth, in the spirit of my Father, the Beast
666; and this, my body, inhales and exhales, in ecstasy, the breath of
my Father. Thus are all men and women made one with my Father
BAPHOMET, in me, on earth; and in this unity of force there is lust &
joy on earth in the rapture of freedom.

  12. And alas! I exercise all the power of my Father, the Beast 666,
who came before me; and I shall cause the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship my Father in his holy image as BAPHOMET.

  13. And in my Father's name I shall accomplish many wonders, so that
I shall make fire come down from heaven on earth in the sight of men:
I shall bring fresh fever from the skies!

  14. And they shall make an image unto my Father BAPHOMET, and His
Holy Knights shall set it in the East of the Temple; and they shall
adore Him day and night, chanting holy hymns and praises unto His
Name.

  15. And I, the ANTICHRIST, shall give life unto His image, that His
image should speak unto the men and women of the earth, causing them
to worship Him.

  16. And I shall cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:

  17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that has the mark of
the Beast, or the number of His Name.

  18. And this is the Tragedy of Man, that these things should come to
pass. But all this for the initiation of the World; and for the
establishment of the Law of Thelema, yea, for the establishment of the
Law of Thelema!

    Love is the law, love under will.
