‘...mere Marian or Melusine; she is Nuit Herself, specially concentrated
and incarnated in a human form to give you infinite love, to bid you taste even
on earth the Elixir of Immortality. “But ecstasy be mine and joy on earth; ever
To Me! To Me!”
‘Again she speaks: “Love is the law, love under will.” Keep pure your
highest ideal; strive ever toward it without allowing aught to stop you or turn
you aside, even as a star sweeps upon its incalculable and infinite course of
glory, and all is Love. The Law of your being becomes Light, Life, Love and
Liberty.All is peace, all is harmony and beauty, all is joy.
‘For hear, how gracious is the Goddess: “I give unimaginable joys on
earth; certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death; peace unutterable,
rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice.”
‘Is not this better than the death-in-life of the slaves of the
Slave-Gods, as they go oppressed by consciousness of “sin,” wearily seeking or
simulating wearisome and tedious “virtues”?
‘With such, we who have accepted the Law of Thelema have nothing to do.
We have heard the voice of the Star-Goddess: “I love you! I yearn to you! Pale
or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and
drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse
the coiled splendour within you; come unto me!”...’ (
Crowley, 2007, p. 49.)
