his Zelator.
1. The period of Probation shall be at least one year.
2. The aspirant to the A.'. A.'. shall hear the Lection (Liber LXI) and this
note of his office; IF HE WILL, shall then procure the robe of a
Probationer; shall choose with deep forethought and intense solemnity
a motto.
3. On reception, he shall receive the robe, sign the form provided and repeat
the oath appointed, and receive the First Volume of the Book.
4. He shall commit a chapter of Liber LXV to memory; and furthermore, he
shall study the Publications of the A.'. A.'. in Class B, and apply
himself to such practices of Scientific Illuminism as seemeth him
good.
5. Beside all this, he shall perform any tasks that the A.'. A.'. may see fit
to lay upon him. Let him be mindful that the word Probationer is no
idle term, but that the Brothers will in many a subtle way 'prove'
him, when he knoweth it not.
6. When the sun shall next enter the sign under which he hath been received,
his initiation may be granted unto him. He shall keep himself free
from all other engagements for one whole week from that date.
7. He may at any moment withdraw from his association with the A.'. A.'.,
simply notifying the Neophyte who introduced him.
8. He shall everywhere proclaim openly his connection with the A.'. A.'.
and speak of It and Its principles (even so little as he
understandeth) for that mystery is the enemy of Truth.
One month before the completion of his year, he shall deliver a copy
of the Record of his year's work to the Neophyte introducing, and
repeat to him his chosen chapter of Liber LXV.
9. He shall hold himself chaste, and reverent toward his body, for that the
ordeal of initiation is no light one. This is of peculiar importance
in last two months of his Probation.
10. Thus and not otherwise may he attain the great reward: YEA, MAY HE OBTAIN
THE GREAT REWARD!
