The A∴A∴ is certainly not, neither will ever be a Thelemic order, but a pan-æonic, all-pervading, omnipresent. Like cosmic void, in which there is neither morning nor dusk, its spreading is not framed by the loom of time nor space. Moreover, its movement is always as its nature is everywhere.

Interesting things happen when you observe the darkness, in the same way as when we stares in the mirror, the essence is to look with the peripheral view and let everything be covered by a dim cobweb, which is a purely physiological effect.

About magical words

The Neophyte is a newcomer, but not because he gets new experiences. Rather, it is because he gets right experiences.

About the A∴A∴ Grades

Every star constelation thus have its own structure and nature of flight – faster, slower, closer to or more away from the center, aproaching, or going away, but still gravitationaly attached to A∴A∴ “central station”.
