The Equinox (Volume I, Number VII)

THE EQUINOX That float on the summer air; the hot delight, Awaken no response; only the might Of the shy poesie that enchants the night He cares to love ; the eerie palaces Where the soul finds forbidden harmonies. Oh I Now his eyes dance up to meet the sun ; Curious, he peers into the hurtling air: Oh! all his spirit follows, slim and fair; The spears of light attract him : it is done; The flaw is found ; he bends again, to shun The summer—heat: see! the swift fingers run Like spiders o'er the strings : Look! it is bare, The flaw: and he has found …

Let him particularly note that unless the apparent size approximate to the real, his practice is wasted. Let him then add a comet to the picture; he may find, perhaps, that the path of this comet may assist him to expand the sphere of his mental vision until it include a star. And thus, gathering one star after another, let his contemplation become vast as the heaven, in space and time ever aspiring to the p…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

THE EQUINOX winnowed from the husks of darkness, and now as an eye of silver it glided over the dark face of the waters. Chaos was taking form—red, vague and immense. He had passed through the Ritual of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, and now it was left to him to pass through the Ritual of the Portal, or the Ritual which completes the four elemental rituals by a fifth, the Ritual of the Spirit, before he could pass from the First Order to the Second. This ritual is an important one, as it is the connecting- link between the first two orders, and …

164 THE EQUINOX And the secret word That dies in light Is seen as a bird, As a vision heard. The sylphs that skim The upper air, Light of limb, With floating hair, Tune their lyres To the faded west, And the sacred fires, As they pass to rest, For a moment stay As a note half-heard On their homeward way As a weary bird Lingers in space. O molten air! O dying grace! O dream most rare! O fire most fair! The waves that wander Under the night, As stars that ponder The birth of light, Lift their crests To the flash of fire, And in their breasts Ther…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX that state of uncertainty in which I lived before this realization came? This realization having come about has at any rate remained as a glimpse of Being, different from the previous not-being. The result of his mental analysis appears to amount to this, that he had experienced within himself a state of con- sciousness full of Peace and Joy, yet which more nearly approximated to Zero than any other term. He can find nothing with which to compare this state, but he recognizes its immense superiority over normal consciousness, and fe…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE EQUINOX With an angel’s smile—save for its subtlety—he was gone into the tablet. She turned, blew on the fire, that started up friendly, and threw herselfinan armchair. Idly she strummed old-fashioned simple tunes. The door opened. A jolly lad came in and shook the snow from his furs. “Been too bored, little girl?” he said cheerily, confident. “No, dear!” she said. ‘I’ve been fiddling a bit.” “Give me a kiss, Lily!” He bent down and put his lips to hers; then, as if struck by lightning, sprawled, a corpse. She looked down lazily through hal…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX hidden sense of the Zohar, the great dogmatic treatise of the Qabalah of the Hebrews. The Clavicles of Solomon, forgotten in the course of time, and supposed lost, have been re- discovered by ourselves; without trouble we have opened all the doors of those old sanctuaries where absolute truth seemed to sleep,—always young, and always beautiful, like that princess of the childish legend, who, during a century of slumber, awaits the bridegroom whose mission it is to awaken her. After our book, there will still be mysteries, but higher…
