The Book of Lies

mystery of the Rose’s perfume: you have set them free from all that is material whilst preserving all thatis sensual. - You who hold more skill and more power than your great English predecessor, Robertus de Fluctibus, you have not feared to reveal ‘the Arcana which are in the Adytum of God-nourished Silence’ to those who, abandoning nothing, will sailin the Company of the Brethren of the Rosy Cross towards the Limbus, that outer, unknown world encircling so many a universe.” — The New Age. **The light wherein he writes is the L.U.X. of that, which first mastering and then transcending the reason, illumines all the darkness caused by the interference of the opposite waves of thought. Itis one of the most suggestive definitions of KONX—the L.U.X. of the Brethren of the Rosy Cross—that it transcends all the possible pairs of opposites. Nor does this sound nonsensical to those who are acquainted with that L.U.X. But to those who do not it must remain as obscure and ridicu- lous as spherical trigonometry to the inhabitants of Flatland.”— 7zmes. 777, 10S. This book contains in concise tabulated form a comparative view of all the symbols of the great religions of the world; the perfect attributions of the Taro, so long kept secret by the Rosicrucians, are now for the first time published; also the com- plete secret magical correspondences of the Golden Dawn and R.R. et A.C. It forms, in short, a com- plete magical and philosophical dictionary; a key to all religions and to all practical occult working. For the first time Western and Qabalistic symbols have been harmonized with those of Hinduism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, Taoism, etc. By a glance at the tables, anybody conversant with any one system can understand perfectly all others. 125
