Mr. Aleister Crowley at Home
8.30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug 2nd 1910
An experiment will be made on the effects of a Ceremony to invoke Saturn.
Those attending are requested to observe the following points of Conduct.
1. Talking, moving about, and other actions likely to disturb others are deprecated.
2. Punctual attendance is desirable. There is little expectation of any result of any kind before midnight in any case. It is exceedingly inadvisable to leave before this hour.
3. If a mantra is being chanted or the tom toms beaten, every one should join in by muttering, singing, or clapping in time with the leader.
4. If any particular deity is being invoked, his or her, nature should be studied beforehand and everyone should endeavour to make and keep his thoughts harmonious with that nature.
5. The deity chosen for this evening is Saturn. If any drug is being exhibited, it should be remembered that whatever results may occur will be to some extent vitiated by the drug and all results due to that drug are at the best pale reflections of the true results obtainable through the practices recommended by A∴A∴. You are specially asked never to experiment with any drug unless under experienced medical supervision.
6. It is desirable that anyone who is a probationer of the A∴A∴ should wear the robe. Others are asked to wear black morning dress. |
