Snowdrops from a Curate’s Garden

dribble of three drops of the precious fluid soaked into her mug, and tickled up the ulcers of her throat. I was again a man. How inscrutable are the Ways of the Almighty ! From those three drops came my three sons ! Leila, her uvula irritated by the acrid fire of my ex- travagance, coughed it up and out. The three drops fell respectively upon the pouting bird’s nests of three Nunnery hacks, who happened to be frigging themselves with no fear of the future ! Nemesis overtook them ! One and all conceived and bare sons and called their names Jesu…

THE EQUINOX Eguinox I. V., Supplement) gives the clearest explanation of this phrase. 22. Three Halls, O weary Pilgrim, lead to the end of toils. Three Halls, O conqueror of Mara, will bring thee through three states into the fourth, and thence into the seven Worlds, the Worlds of Rest Eternal. If this had been a genuine document I should have taken the three states to be Srotapatti, etc., and the fourth Arhat, for which the reader should consult ‘Science and Buddhism’ and similar treatises. But as it is better than ‘genuine,’ be- ing, like ‘Th…

Here follows the excerpt from the Vision: And a voice cries: Cursed be he that shall uncover the nakedness of the Most High, for he is drunken upon the wine that is the blood of the adepts. And BABALON hath lulled him to sleep upon her breast, and she hath fled away, and left him naked, and she hath called her children together saying: Come up with me, and let us make a mock of the nakedness …

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

…ow I have broken Beauty 's wall , Now that my kindred world I hold , I care not though the cities fall And the green earth go cold . THE THREE HILLS . THERE were three hills that stood alone With woods about their feet . They dreamed quiet when the sun shone And whispered when the rain beat . They wore all three their coronals Till men with houses came And scored their heads with pits and walls And thought the hills were tame . Red and white when day shines bright , They hide the green for miles ; Where are the old hills gone ? At night The moo…

The Vision and the Voice

…h Aethyrs were given to me in Mexico in August 1900, and I am now (23. 11. 9) trying to get the rest. It is to be remarked that the last three aethyrs have ten angels attributed to them, and they therefore represent the ten Sephiroth. Yet these ten form but one, a Malkuth-pendant to the next three, and so on, each set being, as it were, absorbed in the higher. The last set consists, therefore, of the first three aethyrs with the remaining twenty- seven as their Malkuth. And the letters of the first three aethyrs are the key-sigils of the most e…

Temperance: A Tract for the Times

…g To get the ginger into our spring. Beloved brethren, listen to me! If there’s one truth of divinity Clear, it’s the virtue there is in Three, And I myself was at Trinity. The least we can do is to seek and see The virtues hid in the Number Three. If much be good, then better is more, As any logician will prove you; It’s only a step from Three to Four; May the argument’s lever move you! It’s simply illogical not to explore The little bit on from Three to Four.

The Book of Thoth

WORK THREE OF DISKS The influence of Binah in the sphere of Earth shows the material establishment of the idea of the Universe, the determination of its basic form. It is ruled by Mars in Capricornus; he is exalted in that Sign, and therefore at his best. His energy is constructive, like that of the builder or engineer. The card represents a pyramid viewed from above the apex. The base is formed by three wheels‐Mercury, Sulphur, and Salt; Sattvas, Rajas, and Tamas in the Hindu system; Aleph, Shin, and Mem‐Air, Fire, and Water‐the three Mother l…
