It seems as if the soul is tired of the body, and welcomes the chance to be done with it once and for all. But it wants to offer itself gallantly in a flight or a charge. It objects to dyingin a ditch passively. I am sure that .nothing less would have got us up from that foetid stupor. | We had some champagne before starting, and then tottered giddily over the unfamiliar streets.

Commentary: Harpocrates is also the Dwarf-Soul, the Secret Self of every man, the Serpent with the Lion’s Head. Now Hadit knows Nuit by virtue of his “Going” or “Love.” It is therefore wrong to worship Hadit; one is to be Hadit, and worship Her. This is clear even from His instruction “To worship me” in verse 22 of this chapter. Confer Cap. I, v. 9. We are exhorted to offer ourselves unto Nuit, pilgrims to all her temples. It is bad Magick to admit th…

In Paris I wrote "The Soul Hunter", the diary of an insane doctor who has drugged his enemy, certified his death, got possession of the corpse, embedded it in plaster of Paris, and vivisects the brain in order to discover the seat of the soul --- a nice Christmassy idea.

…e! Often enough , he does not mind gross jests which admit complicity on the part of the other ; but any allusion to the Truth , and his soul shrieks : I am found out! Then apoplectic Fear puts on the mask of Indignation and Disgust. As for a serious discussion of anything concerned therewith, why, every word is a new rasping tear.

… Father of all called forth lying spirits that they might sift the creatures of the earth in three sieves, according to the three impure souls. And he chose the wolf for the lust of the flesh, and the raven for the lust of the mind; but me did he choose above all to simulate the pure prompting of the soul. Them that are fallen a prey to the wolf and the raven I have not scathed; but them that have rejected me, I have given over to the wrath of the raven and the wolf.
