Emerald Tablet VI: The Key of Magic

This Tablet tells the story of the endless war between light and darkness.

“Fiercely is it fought all through the ages, using strange powers hidden to man.”

“Many in the time were so filled with darkness that only feebly flamed the light from the night.”

Thoth wrote that “Brothers of Darkness” live among men who seek to “fill all with their darkness.”

“Forever, they walked and worked in darkness … Silently, secretly use they their power, enslaving and binding the soul of men.”

“Man, in his ignorance calls Them from below.”

“They walk through man's dreams.”

“Into man's mind-space reach the Dark Brothers.”

Thoth urged once again to “keep thy face ever turned towards the Light.”

“Surrender not your soul to the Brothers of Darkness.”

Those who are on the “pathway of Light” always have power greater than those who embrace the darkness.

“In the End light must conquer.”

“Always Light shall in the end be master, driving away the darkness of night.”

Thoth wrote that in order to “travel the path of the master” and pursue the pathway of Light, one must first “conquer the phantom of fear.”

“Use this, the wisdom I give thee:

‘When unto thee comes a feeling, drawing thee nearer to the darker gate, examine thine heart and find if the feeling thou hast has come from within.’

‘If thou shalt find the darkness thine own thoughts, banish them forth from the place in thy mind.’

‘Send through thy body a wave of vibration, irregular first and regular second, repeating time after time until free.’

‘Start the Wave Force in thy Brain Center. Direct it in waves from thine head to thy foot.’

‘Seek ye first a place bound by darkness. Place ye a circle around about thee. Stand erect in the midst of the circle.’

‘Raise thou thine hands to the dark space above thee. Close thou thine eyes and draw in the Light.’

‘Call to the Spirit of Light through the Space-Time, using these words and thou shalt be free:

‘Fill thou my body, O Spirit of Life, fill thou my body with Spirit of Light. Come from the Flower that shines through the darkness.’

‘Come from the Halls where the Seven Lords rule. Name them by name, I, the Seven: Three, Four, Five and Six, Seven, Eight-Nine.’

‘By their names I call them to aid me, free me and save me from the darkness of night: Untanas, Quertas, Chietal, and Goyana, Huertal, Semveta-Ardal.’

Every man, Thoth wrote, is his brother’s helper. “Let him not lie in the bondage of night.”
