ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΚϜ The Elephant and the Tortoise in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“Fourfold is He, the Elephant upon whom the Universe is poised: but the carapace of the Tortoise supports and covers all.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “The Second, who is the Fourth, the Demiurge, whom all nations of Men call The First, is a lie grafted upon a lie, a lie multiplied by a lie.”
  2. “The eleven initial A’s in the last sentence are Magick Pentagrams, emphasising this curse.”
  3. “This Tortoise is sixfold, the Holy Hexagram.”
  4. “The secret sense of these words is to be sought in the numeration thereof.”
  5. “The Absolute and the Conditioned together make The One Absolute.”
