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…

THE EQUINOX absolute to do thy will; but seek to do any other thing what- ever, and instantly obstacles must arise. Every act that is not in definite course of that one orbit is erratic, an hin- drance. Will must not be two, but one. Note further that this will is not only to be pure, that is, single, as explained above, but also “unassuaged of pur- pose.” This strange phrase must give us pause. It may mean that any purpose in the will would damp it; clearly the “lust of result” is a thing from which it must be delivered. But the phrase may als…

212 THE EQUINOX You were a Chinese god, I an offering fair, As we entered the Garden of Allah, Το sing our holy prayer. Entered with hearts bowed low, Yet I heard a voice that cried: For he is the god of the Sacrifice, You are the crucified. It was all make—believe, A foolish game of play, Our garden of Allah A drawing-room, Our Chinese god of clay, Strings of bruises for pearls, Tears for forget-me—nots, And a deadly pain Of the sickening shame W'atehing the fading spots, As quickly they faded, The heart of me faded as well, Until nothing is lef…

I wearied myself much in looking for Thee without, and yet Thou hast Thy habitation within me, if only I desire Thee and pant after Thee. I went round the Streets and Squares of the C…

THE EQUINOX XV After long dreamless sleep I knew The tale that had fled my tongue, I found it far in the water blue, In the song by the skylark sung, In the melody slow of the waving corn, In the rushing of wind through the vines re-born, And wherever the water-lilies grew, And the green, green willows swung. XVI And still the lady of my dream As a light before me goes ; I see her in the sun’s last gleam, In the moonlight on the snows. Ah! chiefly then her song is sung, When the moon o’er the dark green woods is hung; She is born at midnight on…

…of the methods of the Qabalah itself have been made and disposed of in the article on the subject in “ The Temple of Solomon the King " (Equinox V) and no further reference need be made to them in this place. It is only necessary to say that that article should be studied most thoroughly, and also the article “ A Note on Genesis ” in the second number of The Equinox. With these two weapons, and the Sword of the Spirit, the Practicus, fully armed, may adventure himself in the great battle wherein victory is Truth. PERDURABO.
