the Pythagorean Order of Death

dedicated to restoring Atlantean Democracy

THE FOLLOWING is an attempt to systematise alike the data of mysticism and the

results of comparative religion. 

The sceptic will applaud our labours, for that the very catholicity of the symbols 

denies them any objective validity, since, in so many contradictions, something must 

be false; while the mystic will rejoice equally that the self-same catholicity all- 

embracing proves that very validity, since after all something must be true. 

Fortunately we have learnt to combine these ideas, not in the mutual toleration of sub- 

contraries, but in the affirmation of contraries, that transcending of the laws of 

intellect which is madness in the ordinary man, genius in the Overman who hath 

arrived to strike off more fetters from our understanding.  The savage who cannot 

conceive of the number six, the orthodox mathematician who cannot conceive of the 

fourth dimension, the philosopher who cannot conceive of the Absolute—all these are 

one; all must be impregnated with the Divine Essence of the Phallic Yod of 

Macroprosopus, and give birth to their idea.  True (we may agree with Balzac), the 

Absolute recedes; we never grasp it; but in the travelling there is joy.  Am I no better 

than a staphylococcus because my ideas still crowd in chains? 

But we digress.

PREFATORY NOTE 

 

A.G.R.C. A.R.G.C 

 

THIS translation of the First Book of the “Lemegeton” (now for the 

first time made accessible to English adepts and students of the 

Mysteries) was done, after careful collation and edition, from numer- 

ous MSS. in Hebrew, Latin, French and English, by G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F., 

by the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosicrucian Order.1  The G. H. 

Fra., having succumbed unhappily to the assaults of the Four Great 

Princes (acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed expedient 

that the work should be brought to its conclusion by another hand.  The 

investigations of a competent Skryer into the house of our unhappy Fra., 

confirmed this divination; neither our Fra. nor his Hermetic Mul. were 

there seen; but only the terrible shapes of the evil Adepts S.V.A.2 and 

H., whose original bodies having been sequestered by Justice, were no
