Scribed by David Cherubim (Frater Aurora Aureae).

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 that 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.
