…vel, by the well-known Editor of “Vanity Fair,” has evoked a chorus of praise from the reviewers, and has been one of the most talked-of books of the season. We append a few criticisms : Mr. ALeIster CROWLEY: “ This book is, in truth, a masterpiece ; so intense is the impression that one almost asks, ‘Is this a novel or a confession? Did not Frank Harris perhaps throw the bomb?’ At least he has thrown one now. . . . This is the best novel I have ever read.” The Times: “*The Bomb’ is highly charged with an explosive blend of Socialistic and Anar…

This book is very easy to misunderstand; readers are asked to use the most minute critical care in the study of it, even as we have done in its preparation. 2. In this book it is spoken of the Sephiroth and the Paths ; of Spirits and Conjurations; of Gods, Spheres, Planes, and many other things which may or may not exist. It is immaterial whether these exist or not. By doing certain things certain results will follow; students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or phi…

…passes like an invisible electric discharge. The apparently contrary fact that time seems short when we have been reading an interesting book or performing a pleasant and absorbing task is explained thus; the multitude of impressions is harmonised into one impression. Read an unharmonious and dull book, or an essay like this, and the time appears ineffably long. The other contrary fact, that a minute’s Samadhi appears as an eternity, though Samadhi is a single thought, is ex- plained by the intensity of that thought and by other con- sideration…

In the year 1899 he was graciously pleased to receive me as his pupil, and, living in his house, I studied daily under his guidance the Holy Qabalah. Upon his withdrawal— whether to enjoy his Earned Reward, or to perform the Work of the Brotherhood in other lands or planets matters nothing here—he bequeathed to me a beautiful Garden, the like of which hath rarely been seen upon Earth.

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING the starlight, bewilders him and is gone; for he has opened “The Book of Concealed Mystery” and has read: “Before there was equilibrium countenance beheld not countenance.” The words: ‘ Yehi Aour” trembled on his lips; the very chaos of his being seemed of a sudden to shake itself into form—vast and terrible; but the time had not been fulfilled, and the breath of the creation of a new world caught them up from his half-opened mouth and carried them back into the darkness whence they had all but been vibrated.* Fro…

…oceed to what I have termed the Time Process, the first Word of the Law then is mwxo3a. Now in the Hebrew Scriptures the first word of a Book is also its Title. Thus Genesis is called by the Rabbins “ B’rasheth,” or “ In the Beginning,” wherefore we may regard this Word as not the first word—albeit that is shadowed forth therein—but as the seal and title and Key of the whole book. Holding this in mind, let us proceed to analyse it. The number of its letters is six, the Seal of Creation, and their total numeric value is 2911. 2911 = 13 = Death, …
