Commentary (ΛΑ) on The Garotte in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“A new character is now introduced under the title of IT, I being the secret, and T being the manifested, phallus.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “This now introduces the principal character of this book, Laylah, who is the ultimate feminine symbol, to be interpreted on all planes.”
  2. “T, manhood, the sign of the cross or phallus. UT, the Holy Guardian Angel; UT, the first syllable of Udgita, see the Upanishads. O, Nothing or Nuit.”
  3. “He is called the Second in relation to that which is above the Abyss, comprehended under the title of the First.”
  4. “These six and four are ten, 10, the One manifested that returns into the Naught unmanifest.”
  5. “Strain forth thine Intelligence, O man, O worthy one, O chosen of IT, to apprehend the discourse of THE MASTER; for thus thy reason shall at last break down, as the fetter is struck from a slave’s throat.”
