Oο. Behold the Yoke upon the neck of the Oxen! Is it not

thereby that the Field shall be ploughed? The Yoke is heavy,but joineth together them that are separate—Glory to Nuitand to Hadit, and to Him that hath given us the Symbol ofthe Rosy Cross!

Glory unto the Lord of the Word Abrahadabra, and Gloryunto Him that hath given us the Symbol of the Ankh, and ofthe Cross within the Circle!

I. Three are the Beasts wherewith thou must plough theField; the Unicorn, the Horse, and the Ox. And these shaltthou yoke in a triple yoke that is governed by OneWhip.

2. Now these Beasts run wildly upon the earth and arenot easily obedient to the Man.

3. Nothing shall be said here of Cerberus, the great Beastof Hell that is every one of these and all of these, even asAthanasius hath foreshadowed. For this matter‘* is not ofTiphereth without, but- Tiphereth within.

THE EQUINOXβ. By some device, such as the changing of thy ring from

one finger to another, create in thyself two personalities, thethoughts of one being within entirely different limits from thatof the other, the common ground being the necessities of life.*

Of thine own ingenium devise others.2. On each occasion that thou art betrayed into thinking

that thou art sworn to avoid, cut thyself sharply upon thewrist or forearm with a razor; even as thou shouldst beat adisobedient dog. Feareth not the Ox the Goad of thePloughman?

3. Thine arm then serveth thee both for a warning andfor a record. Thou shalt write down thy daily progress inthese practices, until thou art perfectly vigilant at all timesover the least thought that ariseth in thy brain.

Thus bind thyself, and thou shalt be for ever free.* For instance, let A be a man of strong passions, skilled in the Holy

Qabalah, a vegetarian, and a keen “ reactionary” politician; let Β be a bloodlessand ascetic thinker, occupied with business and family cares, an eater of meat,and a keen progressive politician Let no thought proper to “ A” arise whenthe ring is on the “ B” finger; and vice versa.
