CHAPTER VII
THE CUP
AS
the Magick Wand
is the Will, the Wisdom,
the Word
of the
Magician,
so
is
the
Magick
Cup
his
Under-
standing.
This
is the cup of which
it was
written:
" Father,
if it
be Thy Will,
let this cup pass from Me!" And again:
" Can
ye drink of the cup that
I drink of?"
And
it is also the cup in the hand of OUR
LADV BABALON,
and
the cup of the Sacrament.
This Cup is full of bitterness, and of blood,
and of intoxication.
The
Understanding
of the
Magus
is
his link with the
Invisible,
on
the passive side.
His Will errs actively
by opposing
itself to the Universal
Will.
His Understanding
errs passively when
it receives influence
from that
which
is not the ultimate
truth.
