The idea of 4 was due to my observation of St. Peter's in Rome; it is built with an eye unwavering from that number, as you will see when next you go there, aware of the fact. Also, 4 means, on the political plane, Temporal Power. (The Qabalistic Architect of St. Peter's knew that, and designed his talisman ad hoc.) This book was then, according to Ab-ul-Diz, 1 to achieve worldly success. It is my fault if it did not; still, these are early days to judge of that. Soror Virakam insisted that I should write this in such language that the charwoman and the chimney-sweeper could understand it easily. She pulled me up at the first hint of obscurity. This went well enough for Part I: Yoga. (And, indeed, that part did sell rather well.) But when I had finished Part II, I discovered that not only was the book an exceptionally recondite treatise on obscure technical points, but was not even an exposition of Magick at all! "Magick without Tears," indeed! This was my crazed humility; I honestly thought that everyone knew all about Magick, and how it was done, and 1.
