Bold spirits muster courage to assert that the evil which is so obvious, is, in some mysterious way, an illusion. They thus throw back the whole complexity of sorrow to a single cause; that is, the arising of the illusion aforesaid. The problem then assumes a final fonn: How is that illusion to be destroyed.

Her light-armed troops swarm over the breached ramparts of the winter, and their cry is echoed in the dungeons of the soul by those whom she has come to save. Yet in her hands is nothing but a sword. It is a disturbance of the equilibrium to which the dying year has attained after its long joy and agony; and so to the soul which is at ease she comes with alarum and tocsin.

Scorpio, the Zodiacal Sign of Death, is really the Sexual or Repro ductive function of…

…nge. See Liber 418 and Liber Aleph. Sin (see Skeat’s Etymological Dictionary) is connected with the root vYs, “to be.” This throws a new light on the passage. Sin is restriction, that is, it is “being” as opposed to “becoming.” The fundamental idea of wrong is the static as opposed to the dynamic conception of the Universe.
