…HEM Thou who art I, beyond all I am, Who hast no nature and no name, Who art, when all but thou are gone, Thou, centre and secret of the Sun, Thou, hidden spring of all things known And unknown, Thou aloof, alone, Thou, the true fire within the reed Brooding and breeding, source and seed Of life, love, liberty, and light, Thou beyond speech and beyond sight, Thee I invoke, my faint fresh fire Kindling as mine intents aspire. Thee I invoke, abiding one, Thee, centre and secret of the Sun, And that most holy mystery Of which the vehicle am I. App…

THE RITE OF MERCURY Iam the image of my Father Trnu, Lord of the City of the Sun ! The God who commands is in my mouth; The God of Wisdom is in my heart: My tongue is the sanctuary of Truth : And a God sitteth upon my lips! My word is accomplished each day, and the desire of my heart realises itself, like that of Ptah when he creates his works. I am Eternal; therefore everything acts according-to my designs, and everything obeys my words. Therefore I say unto Thee: come forth unto me from thine abode in the Silence, unutterable Wisdom, All—ligh…

EPILOGUE WHEN the chill of earth black-breasted is uplifted at the glance Of the red sun million-crested, and the forest blossoms dance With the light that stirs and lustres of the dawn, and with the bloom Of the wind’s cheek as it clusters from the hidden valley’s gloom : ThenI walk in woodland spaces, musing on the solemn ways Of the immemorial places shut behind the Starry rays, Of the East and all its splendour, of the West and all its peace; And the stubborn lights grow tender, and the hard sounds hush and cease. In the wheel of heaven rev…

…SIX OF CUPS This card shows the influence of the number Six, Tiphareth, in the suit of Water. This influence is fortified by that of the Sun, who also represents the Six. The whole image is that of the influence of the Sun on Water. His fierce, but balanced power operates that type of putre‐ faction‐he is in the Sign of Scorpio‐which is the basis of all fertility, all life. The lotus stems are grouped in an elaborate dancing movement. From their blossoms water gushes into the Cups, but they are not yet full to overflowing, as they are in the co…

…the little cleft of the rocks whence life first sprang To birth, by the secret, shadowy, molten sea, Where Aphrodite sprang to greet the sun, Low voices murmur: shadowy Underworld In the void of time, light song of Erebus On the lips of a courtesan of Rome, ah! list! A wandering singer caught the light o’ the stars On his lips, and the sun-dawn of the world in his heart. For I that dwelt within the city of Time Was lost in a cloudy dawn; the silken veil Of dew that clothed the green grass of the fields

… in his most spiritual aspect, and he both rules and is exalted in the sign of Virgo, which belongs to the Decan, and is governed by the Sun. It signifies intelligence lovingly applied to material matters, especially those of the agriculturalist, the artificer and the engineer. One might suggest that this card marks the turn of the tide. The seven of Disks is in one sense the fullest possible establishment of Matter—compare Atu XV—the lowest fallen and therefore the highest exalted. These last three cards seem to prepare the explosion which wil…

In the Yî King, the earthy part of Water is represented by the 41st Hexagram, Sun. This means diminution, the dissolution of all solidity. People described by this card are very de‐ pendent on others, but at the same time helpful to them. Rarely, at the best, are they of indi‐ vidual importance. As helpmeets, they are unsurpassed. 1See, for a full analysis and explanation of this Word, Magick, pp. 45‐9.

…he witless power! Cast the dead laurel inthe dust! The flower Of all the world is marred, the day’s desire Distorted in the eclipse, the sun’s dead hour. Let me fall down beside thee! Let me take The kisses that thou canst not give, and slake Despair in purposeless caresses, dire Shames fang-wise fastened of the eternal snake. Is there no warmth where beauty isso bright ? No soul still flickering in the lambent light Still shed from all the body’s excellence? No lamp unchidden of the utter night? Cannot my life be molten into thee, Or thy death…

118 THE RITES OF ELEUSIS whether a snake or a sun In his horoscope Heaven hath cast, It is nothing; every one Shall win to the moon at last, The mage has wrought by his art A billion shapes in the sun. Look through to the heart of his heart, And the many are shapes of one! An end to the art of the mage, And the cold grey blank of the prison An end to the adamant age! The ambrosial moon is arisen. I have bought a lily-white goat For the price ofa crown of thorns, A collar of gold for its throat, A scarlet bow for its horns; I have bought a, lark…

And it distributes what is needful to all created things, according to their disposition to the signs and figures.” This text, one sees, is still perfectly obscure for whoever is not acquainted with the characteristic value of each of the thirty-two paths.

What nymphs as sweet as ours are dwell By foreign grove and alien well? With every watchman’s cheery cry, ‘‘Land ho!” through all the journeying years Our ever-hoping hearts reply, ‘A land of bliss at last appears.” But what land laps a foreign foam So sweet as is the hero's home? At every port the novel sights Charm for an hour—delusive bliss. On every shore the false delights Of …
