Translation:
I.
Silence! the moon ceaseth (her motion),
That also was sweet
In the air, in the air, in the air!
Who Will shall attain!
Who Will shall attain
By the Moon, and by Myself, and by the Angel of the Lord!
II.
Now Silence ceaseth
And the moon waxeth sweet;
(It is the hour of) Initiation, Initiation, Initiation.
The kiss of Isis is honeyed;
My own Will is ended,
For Will hath attained.
III.
Behold the lion-child swimmeth (in the heaven)
And the moon reeleth:—
(It is) Thou! (It is) Thou! (It is) Thou!
Triumph; the Will stealeth away (like a thief),
The Strong Will that staggered
Before Ra Hoor Khuit!—Hadit!—Nuit!
IV.
To the God OAI
Be praise
In the end and the beginning!
And may none fall
Who Will attain
The Sword, the Balances, the Crown!
Silence! the moon ceaseth (her motion),
That also was sweet
In the air, in the air, in the air!
Who Will shall attain!
Who Will shall attain
By the Moon, and by Myself, and by the Angel of the Lord!

Before Ra Hoor Khuit!—Hadit!—Nuit!

To the God OAI

Who Will attain
The Sword, the Balances, the Crown!

1 This attribution could be linked through the Hanged Man - Silence and Sacrifice, the Heart of Blood, & Harpocrates. “M” is a sound made without opening the mouth.
2 Pa may relate to 80, the number of Yesod,
“...In the nights we will dance together, and in the morning we will go forth to war...” - The Vision and the Voice, 22nd Aethyr
In Hebrew,
3 Telai appears to be linked to
4 See attributions from Liber 777.
5 This may be linked to Sa’s attribution to Samekh, the Tarot card “Art”, linking to the Self just prior to Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.
6 This may be linked to Ga’s attribution to Gimel, the Tarot card “The High Priestess”, bringing wisdom down directly from Chokmah, through the Abyss, to the Holy Guardian Angel to teach us directly. The path of Gimel is arguably what taught Frater P. to cross the Abyss.
7These names appear to be created by taking the “Ut” syllable, meaning “Holy Thou...” and applying the first letter of the Thelemic Pantheon.
Thou Holy Ra-Hoor Khuit
Thou Holy Hadit
Thou Holy Nuit
