THE OYSTER
The Brothers of A ... A ... are one with the Mother of
the Child.4
The Many is as adorable to the One as the One is to
the Many. This is the Love of These; creation-parturition
is the Bliss of the One; coition-dissolution
is the Bliss of the Many.
The All, thus interwoven of These, is Bliss.
Naught is beyond Bliss.
The Man delights in uniting with the Woman; the
Woman in parting from the Child.
The Brothers of A ... A ... are Women: the Aspirants
to A ... A ... are Men.

COMMENTARY (Γ)
Gimel is the High Priestess of the Tarot. This
chapter gives the initiated feminine point of view; it is
therefore called the Oyster, a symbol of the Yoni. In
Equinox X, The Temple of Solomon the King, it is
explained how Masters of the Temple, or Brothers of
A ... A ... have changed the formula of their progress.
These two formulae, Solve et Coagula, are now ex-
plained, and the universe is exhibited as the interplay
between these two. This also explains the statement in
Liber Legis I, 28-30.
NOTE
(4) They cause all men to worship it.
