…it (not Air) of the Gods of the Liv‐ ing”? And is not Air, the element attributed to Mercury, also most properly the Breath of Life, the Word, the Logos itself? The student must be referred to some less raw, cursory, elementary and superficial Treatise than this present bat‐eyed, penguin‐winged, bluebottle‐brained buzzing. Neverthe‐ less, although Air is in no system the lowest, and so cannot claim benefit of clergy from the doctrine that Malkuth automatically resolves into Kether, the following reference seems not wholly to lack either cogency…

…can he fall from it. 48. Now this mystery of the letters is done, and I want to go on to the holier place. 49. I am in a secret fourfold word, the blasphemy against all gods of men. Commentary: The evident interpretation of this is to take the word to be “Do what thou wilt,” which is a secret word, because its meaning for every man is his own inmost secret. And it is the most profound blasphemy possible against all “gods of men”, because it makes every man his own God. We may then take it that this Solar-Phallic Heru-ra-ha1 is Each Man Himself.…

… of fertility. The card is referred to the influence of Mercury in Cancer; this carries further the above thesis. Mercury is the Will or Word of the All‐Father; here its influence descends upon the most receptive of the Signs. At the same time, the combination of these forms of energy brings in the possibility of somewhat mysterious ideas. Binah, the Great Sea, is the Moon in one aspect, but Saturn in an‐ other; and Mercury, besides being the Word or Will of the All‐One, is the guide of the souls of the Dead. This card requires great subtlety o…

…eloved.1 2 Indeed, one cannot say that one has per fectly attained to love or hate until the object of that passion is assimilated. The word “hell” is significant in this connection. One must never be so careless as to let oneself think that even “the style of a letter” (how much less a phrase!) in this Book is casual. The expression “to hell with them” is not merely an outburst of colloquial enthusiasm. The word “hell”, that and no other, serves the purpose of the speaker. This would naturally be suggested to us, in any case, by the reflectio…

… and light and bliss, whose nature Baffles so the little tongues of mortals That we name it not, but from its threshold, From the golden word upon its gateway, Style “ Cessation ” ; that whose self we guess not. Thus the wise most mystically interpret Into wisdom the worst folly spoken By the mortal of a god deluded. So, the last wise word rejected, Pentheus Cries, “ ἀγ ὡς ταχιστα, του χρονου δε σοι φθονω ”—“ Why waste we time in talking ? Let us now away unto the mountains ! ” So the wise, enlightened by compassion, Seeks that bliss for all th…

Ay, Verily and Amen, She is that; the air shudders and burns as we shout it, exulting and eager. O ye! Was not this your sneer, your vile Whisper that scorned Her and shamed Her? Was not “Whore” the truth of Her, the title of terror that you gave Her in your fear of Her, coward comfort ing coward with furtive glance and gesture? But we fear Her not; we cry Whore, as Her armies a…

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES being, or the collection of beings, the intellectual infinite in a word, is so difficult to imagine! Besides, every imagination makes its creator an idolater; he is obliged to believe in it, and worship it. Our spirit should be silent before Him, and our heart alone has the right to give Him a name: Our Father!

…an is rent by the advent of Adonai, and is at once caught up into union with Him. " In the air," the Ruach. Note that etymologically the word crvy, "together with," is the San- skrit Sam; and the Hebrew ADNI is the Sanskrit ADHI. The phrase "together with the Lord," is then literally identical with the word Samadhi, which is the Sanskrit name of the phenomenon de- scribed by Saint Paul, this union of the ego and the non-ego, subject and object, this chymical marriage, and thus identical with the symbol- ism of the Rosy Cross, under a slightly d…
