boxwood； rosewood； cedar or sandalwood。 English yew also serves the
purpose； so does almond wood。 Simpler； less expensive； and almost as
effective； are Wands made of witch…hazel。 In fact； apart from the Wands of
live ivory； I consider that witch…hazel is as powerful as the golden Wand。
Next in force to this witch…hazel are the shoots of the almond tree； and；
lastly； the peach and swamp willow。
The proper time to manufacture a Magic Wand is whenever you can
find the person who is able to do the work。 But after it is constructed it
must be thoroughly magnetized； with proper ceremony and aspiration； the
first or the second full Moon after the Sun enters Capricorn； at midnight；
when the Moon will be culminating in her own sign upon the mid…heaven。
The best time TO CUT a shoot of witch…hazel or other material for a
Wand is the first full Moon after the Sun's entry into Capricorn； at
midnight； and then magnetize it upon the next full Moon at the same hour。
In conclusion； let us repeat that； the Magic Wand is but the highly
sensitive magical medium for transmitting and concentrating the force of
the learned magician； that it is equally powerful under great excitement of
mind； WHETHER USED CONSCIOUSLY OR NOT。 The stream of
mental fire will go in the direction the Wand happens to be pointed； and；
therefore； should never be in the hands of the wicked or foolish； any more
than firearms。 It is potential or otherwise； in exact proportion to the artist's

wisdom and dynamic mentality； and is useless in the hands of the idiotic or
weak…minded。 A Magic Wand requires brains and vigorous mental force to
make it effective； just as the steam engine requires an apparatus for
generating the steam； that moves it。 With a determined will； and a mental
conception of one's inward power； any man or woman can； by means of
this sensitive Wand； defy all the legionaries of Hell； and quickly disperse
every form of spiritual iniquity。
The firearms which have become so intricate in their mechanism and
so destructive in their operations； are only a degeneration of the Magic
Wand。 The first weapons of warfare and slaughter were very crude and
clumsy； then larger and more destructive； until at last they have become as
fine in texture and mechanical genius； compared with their early brothers；
as the Magic Wand is to…day； above and beyond； the present weapons of
warfare。 At last； the original mode of defense will be rediscovered and
become a utility in the hands of the majority of mankind。 At the same time；
the mental and moral nature will be evolving into better conditions； too； so
that their use will not be given to the ignorant and evildoers； but placed in
charge of the educated； those who are morally capable of leading and
ruling。
Yes； we are now stepping upon the plane of reason and intuition；
where right； not might； will prevail and rule the world。 The present mode
of government and rule will be changed； and one of humanitarian justice
take its place。
God hasten the Millenium。

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
Thy temple is the arch Of yon unmeasured sky； Thy Sabbath the
stupendous march Of grand eternity。
To my Brothers and Sisters of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor：
GREETINGFor some years it has been my desire to leave a spiritual
legacy to the many devoted friends and followers who have braved so
much amid present truth and error for my sake。
In choosing the present work for such a purpose； I have had in view
the deeper spiritual needs of the soulthe prophetic element of the interior
spirit； which can best exalt itself through the contemplation of Nature's
arcane symbolism of the starry heavensnot the material expression of the
glittering splendors of the midnight sky； but the spiritual soul…pictures of
those blazing systems that reveal to the seeing eye the shining thrones of
THE RULERSthe Powers that Be。
Ever since the dawn of intellectual human life upon our Mother Earth；
long before the days of the cave man； or even the first frost that heralded
the coming of the Ice Age； souls have hoped and hungered and souls have
quailed and fallen in their struggles with the mysteries of God。 But ever
and anon some bright flower of the race has gained the spiritual victory。 A
Messianic soul has responded to aspirations of a great…hearted； great…
souled woman； pregnant with spiritual yearnings beyond her race； and she
has unconsciously blessed her kind for the generations yet to come with
that incarnated mysteryTHE SON OF GOD。 Blessed； O Woman； is thy
patient mission on the earth； and transcendent are the holy mysteries of thy
maternity。 Every human birth is a Divine miracle in humanity； performed
by the Motherhood of God。
Hence it is that； from the earliest ages of life； triumphant souls have
stormed the gates of the sanctuary and penetrated Nature's most occult
mysteries and there recorded their spiritual victories。 Amid these sacred
records lies one great scroll； that none but the brightest and bravest may
read。
This sacred scroll； sealed with the seven mystic seals of the heavens；
contains The Tablets of Aeth； a record of the soul's experiences upon the
planes of both conscious and sub…conscious life…spirit and matter； that are
expressed in a series of universal symbols； which manifest to the seer the

processes of creative life； of spiritual cause with material effect。 And；
finally； the mystery of the seven vials and the seven stars of Saint John are
written therein； for the Tablets are the hieroglyphic keys which unlock the
realities of truth involved within the unrealities of external life； and open
up； to the aspiring soul； inconceivable vistas of knowle
