The Cephaloedium Working Record Monday, 13 December 1920
At two o'clock this morning, after making my Confession. I laid my hand upon the Sacred Lotus of Alostrael [Leah Hirsig] & swore these Oaths:—
I. I ......., the Beast 666 hereby & herein most solemnly promise & swear: to devote my whole working time exclusively to the completion of my Comment on "The Book of the Law."
2. I, etc, as before etc. swear: that as soon as the Comment is ready, I will take the Book & cause it to be printed, bound & issued in the manner ordained in the Book itself, though I leave myself without money to buy my next meal
To these oaths, I called Nuith! Hadith! Ra Hoor Khuit! as witnesses thereof. I then invoked Aiwaz to aid me to keep them, & in all other ways soever to forward the Work.
2.20 a.m.—I therefore open my MS. of the Comment.
