The Equinox (Volume I, Number IV)

THE EQUINOX greatest length of time comfortable is the correct one to adopt; but the head, neck and chest should always be held erect, the aspirant should in fact adopt what the drill-book calls “the first position of a soldier,” and never allow the body in any way to collapse. The “ Bhagavad-Gita” upon this point says: In a pure place, established in a fixed seat of his own, neither very much raised nor very low . . . in a secret place by himself... . There . . . he should practise Yoga for the purification of the self. Holding the body, head …

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…on for years, performing Herculean labours without conscious effort. My time was in fact very fully taken up with the preparation of The Equinox. I had to be constantly seeing Fuller, who was editing my Magical Records and the vast mass of material connected with the G.'. D.'., besides which I had my own work to do preparing the books of instruction on a special and scientific basis. Besides this, I was writing a good deal of poetry. Some of my most important work belongs to this period. "The Wizard Way", "the Garden of Janus", "After Judgment"…

THE EQUINOX He realized that there were in this world she-mules as well as she-asses, and that though the former would never foal in spite of all the stallions of Moultan, the latter seldom failed to do so after having been for a few minutes in the presence of a Margate jackass. Discarding Chastity (Brahmacharya)—a good purgative for the prurient—he wrote in its place the word “ Health.” Do not worry about this code and that law, about the jibber of this crank or the jabber of that faddist. To hell with ethical pigs and prigs alike. Do what you…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX This is certainly better. The three times during singing practice occurred while trying over new music with the choir of which I am a member, and it is very hard to leave out a word when singing. I find this practice makes one speak much less. The word chosen being a conjunction often results in the second part of a sentence remaining unspoken. I never before noticed how unneces- sary some of our speech is; in fact I have now no doubt that a great many things are better left unsaid. Monday, Jan. oth. Bedtime. Said word to-day for th…

And that mystery is enticing and enthralling; Morag is delicious as dream or death, enticing, elusive, exquisite. One of the subtlest and truest women in literature. Not many men have imagination so delicate and—dictame!—but Mr. Brodie- Innes writes “with authority, and not as the scribes.” Why he allows Mathers to go about saying that he is a Jesuit and a poisoner will be revealed at the Last Day.

THE EQUINOX For know, that all things are masks or symbols of the One Truth, and nature serveth alway to point out the higher per- fection under the veil of the lower perfection. So then all the Art and Craft of human love shall serve you as an hiero- glyphic: for it is written that That which is above is like that which is below: and That which is below is like that which is above. Therefore also doth it behove you to take well heed lest in any manner you fail in this business of purity. For though each act is to be complete on its own plane, …

THE EQUINOX The next is as the plaint melodious of the ocean-sprite imprisoned in its shell, And this is followed by the chant of vina. The fifth like sound of bamboo-flute shrills in thine ear. It changes next into a trumpet-blast. The last vibrates like the dull rumbling of a thunder-cloud. The seventh swallows all the other sounds. They die, and then are heard no more.* The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a great deal more exact in its description of these sounds than the famous Theosophist; concerning them Swatmaram Swami writes: In the beginning, …
