Section Aa
Line 1
The Adept asserts his right to enter into conscious communication
with His Angel, on the ground that that
Angel has Himself taught him the Secret Magick by
which he may make the proper link. “Mosheh” is MH,
the formation, in Jechidah, Chiah, Neschamah, Ruach
—the Sephiroth from Kether to Yesod—since 45 is Σ(1–
9) which Sh, 300, is Σ(1–24), which superadds to these
Nine an extra Fifteen numbers. (See in Liber D the
meanings and correspondences of 9, 15, 24, 45, 300,
345).
45 is moreover ADM, man. “Mosheh” is thus the name of man as a God-concealing form. But in the Ritual let the Adept replace this “Mosheh” by his own motto as Adeptus Minor. For “Ishrael” let him prefer his own Magical Race, according to the obligations of his Oaths to Our Holy Order! (The Beast 666 Himself used “Ankh-f-n-khonsu” and “Khem” in this section.)

Line 2
The Adept reminds His Angel that He has created That
One Substance of which Hermes hath written in the
Table of Emerald, whose virtue is to unite in itself all
opposite modes of Being, thereby to serve as a Talis-man
charged with the Spiritual Energy of Existence, an Elixir
or Stone composed of the physical basis of Life. This
Commemoration is placed between the two personal
appeals to the Angel, as if to claim privilege to partake
of this Eucharist which createth, sustaineth and
redeemeth all things.
Line 3
He now asserts that he is himself the “Angel” or messenger
of his Angel; that is, he is a mind and body whose office
is to receive and transmit the Word of his Angel. He
hails his Angel not only as “un-nefer,” the Perfection of
“Asar” himself as a man, but as Ptah-Apophrasz-Ra, the
identity (Hadit) wrapped in the Dragon (Nuit) and
thereby manifested as a Sun (Ra-Hoor-Khuit). The
“Egg” (or Heart) “girt with a Serpent” is a cognate
symbol; the idea is thus expressed later in the ritual.
(See Liber LXV, which expands this to the utmost.)
