KE®AAH KH THE POLE-STAR Love is all virtue, since the pleasure of love is but love, and the pain of love is but love. Love taketh no heed of that which is not and of that which is. Absence exalteth love, and presence exalteth love. Love moveth ever from height to height of ecstasy and faileth never. The wings of love droop not with time, nor slacken for life or for death. Love destroyeth self, uniting self with that which is not-self, so that Love breedeth All and None in One. Is it not sop... No?... Then thou art not lost in love; speak not of…

And I testify that in heaven all is vanity (for I have journeyed oft, and sojourned oft, in every heaven), except the love of OUR LADY BABALON. And I testify that beyond heaven and earth is the love of OUR LADY NUIT.

KE®AAH AA THE SMOKING DOG"’ Each act of man is the twist and double of an hare. Love and Death are the greyhounds that course him. God bred the hounds and taketh His pleasure in the sport. This is the Comedy of Pan, that man should think he hunteth, while those hounds hunt him. There are no other comedies or tragedies. Cease then to be the mockery of God; in savagery of love and death live thou and die! Thus shall His laughter be thrilled through with Ecstasy.

KE®AAH ST MARGERY DAW I love LAYLAH. I lack LAYLAH. ‘* Where is the Mystic Grace?” sayst thou? Who told thee, man, that LAYLAH is not Nuit, and I Hadit?

Therein are the forces that made him and his father and his father’s father before him. This is the Dew of Immortality. Let this go free, e…
