The number 11 however does represent the squaring of the circle, the Great Work, since there are 11 letters in Abrahadabra, whose symbolism is so enigmatical : [Persian text] is further the equation of [Persian text] 5 the Pen- tagram and [Persian text] 6 the Hexagram, Micro and Macro-prosopus, Man and God. 17. This is the extreme sceptico-mystical posi- tion : to admit that phenomena are perfectly mys- terious, while asserting a direct consciousness of the Absolute.

Yet with this assurance be not thou content; for though thou hast the wings of the Eagle, they are vain, except they be joined to the shoulders of the Bull. Now, therefore, I send forth a shaft of my light, even as a ladder let down from the heaven upon the ear…

Far be it from us, however, to denounce Mr. Home as a low-class sorcerer, that is to say, as acharlatan. The cele- brated American medium is sweet and natural as a child.

… and Mrs. Dr. Anna Bonus Kingsford? Yea, I could deceive myself if I did not train and fortify my scepticism at every point. That is the great usefulness of this record; one will be able to see afterwards whether there is any trace of poetic or otherinfluence. But this is my sheet—anchor: I cannot write a lie, either in poetry or about magic. These are the serious things that constitute my per- sonality; and I could more easily blow out my brains than write a poem which I did not feel. The apparent exception is in case of irony. [P.S.
