The Star Ruby
LIBER XXV
THE STAR RUBY.
Facing East, in the centre, draw deep deep deep thy breath closing thy
mouth with thy right forefinger prest against thy lower lip. Then dashing
down the hand with a great sweep back and out, expelling forcibly thy breath,
cry AO ANTO KAKOAIMONO.
With the same forefinger touch thy forehead, and say OI, thy member, and
say AE {Note 1}, thy right shoulder, and say IXYPOS, thy left shoulder,
and say EYXAPITO; then clasp thine hands, locking the fingers, and cry IA.
Advance to the East. Imagine strongly a Pentagram, aright, in thy forehead.
Drawing the hands to the eyes, fling it forth, making the sign of Horus and
roar PION. Retire thine hand in the sign of Hoor-paar-Kraat.
Go round to the North and repeat; but say NUIT.
Go round to the West and repeat; but whisper BABALON.
Go round to the South and repeat; but bellow HADIT.
Completing the circle widdershins, retire to the centre and raise thy voice
in the Paian, with these words I AN, with the signs of N.O.X.
Extend the arms in the form of a Tau and say low but clear:
PO MOY IYE OIX MOY TEETAPXAI EI EIA
XYNOXE EAPITEPA AIMONO EEI AP EPI
MOY O ATHR TN ENTE KAI EN THI THGHI
ATHR TN E ETHKE.
Repeat the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin.

1. The secret sense of these words is to be sought in the numeration
thereof.
