…on, “no.” This sublime method of tearing out the heart of destiny is evidently derived from a slightly more elaborate one in the “Key of Solomon” (Book I., chap. ix.) for detecting theft, which is done with a sieve, and which I supposed (until “Adam” advised me to the contrary) to represent the lowest debauchery in which the human intellect could wallow. The game is, however, much esteemed by charlatan clairvoyants; and I can well understand their indignation at finding that I do not recognise their proficiency in this game and that of swindlin…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Plunging into the ¢exebve of transcendental physics, he sought the great fulfilment, and unknowingly in the exuber- ance of his enthusiasm left the broad road of the valley and struck out on the mountain-track towards that ultimate summit which gleams with the stone of the Wise, and whose secret lies in the opening of the “Closed Eye”—the consuming of the Darkness. He who dismisses Paracelsus with a twopenny clyster, or Raymond Lully with a sixpenny reprint, is not a fool, no, no, nothing so exalted; but merely a …

He winced, and I could see that he was a coward; nevertheless, though it displeased him, he gave me his sigil. & “His name is spelt: o>. Having no further question to ask him, I left him, biddin…

THE EQUINOX (Consult “ Goetia,” the “Key of Solomon,” Eliphaz Levi, Cornelius Agrippa, Pietro di Abano, Barrett and others for instructions.) These forms are more solid and real, much more dange- rous, and are excessively difficult to obtain. I have known very few successful practitioners.
