Magick Without Tears

Scorpio , house of Mars. Sagittarius, house of Jupiter. Sol. Fire. Saturn ; and Earth . Here, we see at one glance, there is no such simple obvious relationship , as in the previous list. Nor indeed is there , to my ear, any close connection in the sounds. Better luck , perhaps , with the last lot . Labials : 1. B 2. V 3. P Mercury . (or F) Vau. Taurus , house of Venus ; Luna exalted therein . Mars. Not a bit of it ; almost worse than before . Here, then , I say it, weeping , with agonized reluctance , the Holy Qabalah has let us down with a bump! (It did look , too , didn't it, as if it was all going to go so miraculously well!) All is not lost-not even honour! Suppose you reflect that (after all) Hebrew is a late language , invented ; far, far removed from the primitive grunts and groans (with their corresponding motions) that we set out to study. Let us take the high hand , and say that the Guttural Correspondence doesn't rime with anything , that it is just an amazing piece of sheer luck. With all due caution, therefore, let us attack our puzzle from the other end ; let us see what astral experiment tells us about the philology of it!
