…leister. For some reason which I have not been able to trace, this God became Alastor, the Desert Daemon of the Rabbins, then later the “Spirit of Solitude” of Shelley.1 The attri bution is appropriate enough, the root being apparently AAAO- MAI, “I wander.” The idea of “Going” is dreadful to the bourgeois, so that a wanderer is “accursed.” But, me judice,1 2 to settle down in life is to abandon the heroic attitude; it is to acqui esce in the stagnation of the brain.

85 — Hermes, the Messenger. The other prefers to take Jack simply and reverently as lacchus, the spiritual form of Bacchus. But it does not matter very much whether we insist upon the swiftness or the rapture of the Holy Spirit of God; and that it is He of whom it is here spoken is evident, for the name Horner could be applied to none other by even the most casual reader of the Holy Gospels and the works of Congreve.

…ore, the purest and most exalted conception of the Moon. (At the other end of the scale is Atu xviii, q.v.) The card represents the most spiritual form of Isis the Eternal Virgin; the Artemis of the Greeks. She is clothed only in the luminous veil of light. It is important for high initiation to regard Light not as the perfect manifestation of the Eternal Spirit, but rather as the veil which hides that Spirit. It does so all the more effectively because of its incomparably dazzling brilliance.1 Thus she is light and the body of light. She is th…

…oltaire so boldly said of God: “If it did not exist, it would be necessary to invent it.” But if a man had been capable of inventing the spirit of charity, he also would have invented God. Charity does not invent itself, it reveals itself by its works, and it is then that one can cry with the Saviour of the world: “ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!” To understand the spirit of charity is to understand all mysteries.

There is no individuality but in illusion. And the illu- sion is change and pain, and its destruc…

… I could bring myself to switch on the electric light and snatch my notebook. At the first trial the solution sprang like sunlight in my spirit. I remained all that night in an ecstasy of awe and adoration. I had discovered the lost Word! The obvious line of criticism is this: How can you be sure that the Word which you have discovered is really the lost Word after all? This may be made clear by an illustration.
