1After the rule of Michael, Anael, Prince of the Astral Light, will receive the Guardianship of the world, and reign from the year A.D. 2188 to the year A.D. 2497. This is the feminine period, and woman will, during Anael’s reign, become mans just and lawful equal, so¬ cially and politically. Intuition will show itself the superior of mere intellect, and the human form, physically, attain its greatest degree of perfection. Occultism will be taught in our Universities, Astronomers become Astrologers, and drugs for the treatment of disease be con¬ signed to the limbo of oblivion, to keep company with the Religious Dogmas and Scientific Noodleisms of today. It is at this point that I would warn all Western Nations. Remember that this is the period of feminine force and love. Therefore, see to it that you form not those magnetic conditions that would attract into your midst the dark legionaries of Anael. If you do, Woe be unto you; as pride and luxury, licentiousness and debauchery will result, and the fate of Nineveh, Babylon and Rome will be yours; but if, on the other hand, virtue, morality and pure affectional love, stand paramount amongst you; then, all that is noble, elegant and true shall reign in your midst. Then shall Nations abolish fleets and standing armies, kings lay aside their scepters, and a Universal Human Brotherhood begin to compre¬ hend their common origin and Divine relationship with the GREAT FIRST CAUSE.
2After Anael, in the order of the seven Governors, Raphael will receive the Scepter of earthly rule—Bright Raphael, the swift mes¬ senger of the gods and presiding Intelligence of the Planet Mercury. This will be the grand era of the mind, the age of the Genius of Hu¬ manity, to assimilate all the stores of knowledge, treasured up by the past ages. This is the culminating point (see note below) of this subi/Gooele LA CLEF 117 cycle of the sub-Western races. Raphael will govern from the year A.D. 2497 to the year A.D. 2806. During this period, the attainment of Adeptship will be the highest ambition of the noblest minds, though but few will attain unto this ideal height in any race of the present round. Science and the Arts will attain unto a degree of perfection unknown to any past age, and thus will close the Intellectual genius of the Western Race. From the summit we begin to retrograde, for Gabriel, the sev¬ enth Governor, now takes up the reins of power, and rules from the year A.D. 2806 to the year A.D. 3114. This rule is again the stagna¬ tion of mind, and once more Humanity having attained the greatest height possible in this cycle, begins to travel on the downward arc and the nations again relapse gradually into ignorance, and spiritual truth will materialize itself into concrete sacerdotalism, nor will man¬ kind of the West again reach its climax of civilization until about the year A.D. 7300.
3Note: The culminating point of this Cycle is about the year A.D. 2800, or six years before the expiration of Raphael’s Rule. The Sub-Westem Races, then at their climax of development, will gradually decline, while certain other races of the West will be rapidly rising on their ascending arc, as will the nations of the Orient, who will culminate about the time of the Sub-Westem Races reaching the lowest arc of the Cycle. Flint glass can be made with a temper equal to that sustained by the finest steel, but the secret of its production is in the hands of the Adepts, and like all other secrets, will be accidentally discovered when the proper time arrives. EXPLANATORY NOTE FOR CHAPTERS V AND VI Throughout La Clef Hermetique and La Clef the terms, Powers, Intelligences, and Principles, have been used in a somewhat confused way. Hence, it is necessary to explain, that, when speaking of the seven Ruling Intelligences, the terms, Intelligences, Powers, and Principles are to be understood as meaning the same thing, each Angel being a Principle possessing both Power and Intelligence. But, when speaking in reference to Humanity, as follows in this note, the terms, Principle, Power and Force, are to be understood as referring to the attributes of the Human Soul.
