The Feast for the Third Day of the Writing of the Book of the Law,
The Greater Feast of Saint Swinburne, The Day of Aleph, The Day of the Fool

The Secret Instruction of the Master

Know Naught!
All ways are lawful to Innocence.
Pure folly is the Key to Initiation.
Silence breaks into Rapture.
Be neither man nor woman, but both in one.
Be silent, Babe in the Egg of Blue, that thou mayest grow to bear the Lance and Graal!
Wander alone, and sing! In the King’s Palace his daughter awaits thee.

Mnemonic

Truth, laughter, lust: Wine’s Holy Fool! Veil rent,
Lewd madness is sublime enlightenment.
