…Name. For I am Yesterday, and I To-day, and I to-morrow, born Now and again, on high, on high Travelling on Dian’s naked horn | I am the Soul that doth create The Gods, and all the Kin of Breath. I come from the sequestered state; My birth is from the House of Death. Hail! ye twin hawks high pinnacled That watch upon the universe ! Ye that the bier of God beheld ! That bore it onwards, ministers Of peace within the House of Wrath, 1 Much of the following invocation is a free rendering of several fine passages in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. O

18 The Law is for All blasphemes against this godhead. In certain aspects, it has shown itself to be an arch-enemy of the soul of man. Long ago Henrik Ibsen declared that “mere democracy cannot solve the social question.” He might have added that there are many other questions that it cannot solve. But he implied this when he said that an element of aristocracy must be introduced into our life. Of course I do not mean the aristocracy of birth or of the purse, or even the aristocracy of intellect. I mean the aristocracy of character, of will, of…

This formula is, however, a little different in symbolism, since it is a Woman whose Cup must be filled. It is rather the sacrifice of the Man, who transfers life to his descendants. For a woman does not carry in herself the principle of new life, except tem- porarily, when it is given her. But here the formula implies much more even than this. For it is his whole life that the Magus offers to Our Lady. The Cross is both Death and Génération, and it is on the Cross that the Rose blooms. The full significance of these symbols is so lofty that it…

…t the nod of his Silent Self. He will not allow the prejudice, either of sense, emotion, or rational judgment, to obscure the Sun of his Soul. In the first place, mutual magnetism, despite the masks of mind, should be unmistakable. Unless it exists, a puissant purity of passion, there is no Magical basis for the Sacrament. Yet, such magnetism is only the first condition. Where two people become intimate, each crisis of satisfaction between the terminals leaves them in a prox imity which demands mutual observation; and the intense clarity of th…

One-fifth is the fuel of fire, the corruption of rust; the rest is inert, the soul of explosives, with a trace of that stifling and suffocating gas which is yet food for vegetable, as it is poison to animal, life. We have here a picture of the average man, of a fool. He has no will of his own, is all things to all men, is void, a repeater of words of whose sense he knows nought, a drifter, both idle and violent, compact partly of fierce passions that burn up both him self and the other…

The effect of the Ritual has been (a) to keep them so busy with their own work that they cease to distract him; (b) to separate them so completely that his soûl is stripped of its sheaths ; (c) to arouse in him an enthusiasm so intense as to intoxicate and anaesthetize him, that he may not feel and resent the agony of this spiritual vivisection, just as bashful lovers get drunk on the wedding night, in order to brazen out the intensity of shame which so mysteriously coexists with their desire ; (d) to concentrate the necessary spiritual forces …
