s, the amount is 81. The mysterious words which you
received in the preceding degrees, are all so many corruptions of the
true name (of God) which was engraved on the triangle of Enoch. In
this engraving the vowel points are so arranged as to give the
pronunciation which you have just received (Yow-ho). This word, when
thus pronounced, is called the ineffable word, which cannot be altered
as other words are, and the degrees which you have received, are

light that leads to the celestial truth. The light that is in our
Lodge, is composed of a glass globe filled with water, and a light
