Snowdrops from a Curate’s Garden

…’S A BROTHEL All the world’s a brothel, And all the men and women whores and buggers. They have their exits and their entrances. And one man in his time lets many farts. His arsehole being an octave. First the Infant Violently rogered by an aged duke : And then the frigging schoolboy, with his scrotum And shining gland, his spend mere slime of snail Unwilling from the tool. And then the lover Fucking like a furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ bottom. Then a soldier Full of stiff spunk and bollocked like the bull, Jealous of sapp…

Magick in Theory and Practice (Section 2)

…e ail that He hath for His magical Attainment. Yet more awful is the doom that He hath invoked upon Himself in renouncing His right as a man to enjoy the Love of those whom He loves with passion so selfless, so pure, and so intense in return for the power so to love Mankind that He be chosen to utter the Word of the Aeon for their sake, His reward universal abhorrence, bodily torment, mental despair, and moral paralysis. Yet He, who hath power over Death, with a breath to call back health, with a touch to beckon life, He must watch His own chil…

Liber Aleph

…the Prime Use of this Art is to build up thine own Nature. But if thou hast Skill to control the Mood of the Eagle, then mayst thou work many an admirable Effect upon thine Environment. Thou knowest how great is the Fame of Witch-Women (old and without Man) to cause Events, although they create nothing. It is this Straitness of the Channel which giveth Force to the Stream. Beware, o my Son, lest thou cling overmuch to this Mode of Magick; for it is lesser than that Other, and if thou neglect That Other, then is thy Danger fearful and imminent, …

So then a Part thereof may become useless, and atrophy as (I will instance this case) Man’s Wit of Smell; and the bodily Organ corresponding degeneratheth therewith. But this is an effect of much Time, so that in thy Hell thou art like to find Elements vain, or foolish, or contrary to thy present Weal. Yet, o my Son, this hidden Wisdom is not thy true Will, but only the Levers (I may say so) thereof. Notwithstanding, here lieth therein a Faculty of Balance, whereby it is able to judge whether a…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…t was on the surface quite ordinary literature, but implying the Law of Thelema as the basis of right thought and conduct. In this way I managed to insinuate my message perhaps more effectively than could possibly have been done by any amount of visible argument and persuasion. The Scrutinies of Simon Iff are perfectly good detective stories, yet they not only show a master of the Law as competent to solve the subtlest problems by considerations based upon the Law, but the way in which crime and unhappiness of all sorts may be traced to a breac…

… he had actually stumbled upon the Qabalistic Proof of Pantheism or Monism. What really happens is that the Adept sits down and performs many useless Tricks with the Figures, without Result. Suddenly the Lux dawns, and the Problem is solved. The Rationalist explains this by Inspiration, the superstitious Man by Mathe- matics. I give an Example of the Way in which one works. Let us take IAO, one of the ‘‘ Barbarous Names of Evocation,” of which those who have wished to conceal their own Glory by adopting the Authority of Zarathustra have said th…

The fanatic churl Stands—see his thin lips writhe and curl ! ‘‘ Because thou hast loosed the kingly man, To uttermost destruction’s dread In my almighty power and plan Appointed, I will have thy head For his, thy life for his make mine, And for his folk thou hast spared, slay thine.” But surely I was just and wise! Mercy is God’s own attribute ! Mercy to noble enemies Marks man from baser mould of brute. To fight their swordsmen—who would shirk ¢ To slay a captive—coward’s work ! ‘¢T have loved mercy,” that …

Why so reluctant to move from the cold night to the ‘‘ blush of an alabaster brow,” and the rest of your accursed troubadour’s jargon, to a bliss you little expect. “‘ Gratia cum Nymphis geminisque sororibus audet ducere nuda choros.” But your choros, Blanche, is but your old uncle, who per- haps loves you better than you think just now.

Clouds Without Water

VIIl Even that taunt has left you smiling still, And silent still — and that is ten times worse. Where is my will, my adamantine will? Curse God and die? I can nor die nor curse. Ah, but I can. The agony extends — Iam wrapt up all in an equal hell. There is a point at which emotion ends. Tam come through to peace, though pain yet swell Its paean in my every vein and nerve. Try me, o God, convulse me to the marrow ! I am its element ; I shall not swerve. Lam Apollo too; I loose one arrow Swift enough, straight enough to conquer you. O Sphinx! Ga…

Ambergris

… death. Death, death ere dawn. The night is over dark ; Trees are grown terrible ; the shadows wan Make shudder all the tense desires of man ; No gleam of moonlight bears the golden mark Of sunny lips, nor shines upon Our sleep—Love’s birchen bark. Love, love to-night. To-night is all we know, Is all our care ; lips joined to lips we lie, Tender hands touching, hearts in tune to die, With willing kiss reluctant to let go ; So sweet love’s last enduring sigh For sleep, so sure, so slow. Sleep, sleep to-night. Our arms are intertwined ; Breath de…
