… upon the throne of the East. 2. So came I to Duant, the starry abode, and I heard voices crying aloud. 3. O Thou that sittest upon the Earth! (so spake a certain Veiled One to me) thou art not greater than thy mother! Thou speck of dust infinitesimal! Thou art the Lord of Glory, and the unclean dog. 4. Stooping down, dipping my wings, I came unto the darkly-splendid abodes. There in that formless abyss was I made a partaker of the Mysteries Averse. 5. I suffered the deadly embrace of the Snake and of the Goat; I paid the infernal homage to the…

Sight is fire, and is the first angle of the Tablet; spirit is hearing, and is the centre thereof; thou, therefore, who art all spirit and fire, and hast no duller elements in thy star; thou art come to sight at the end of thy will. And if thou wilt hear the voice of the Aethyr, do thou invoke it in the night, having no other light but the light of the half moon. Then mayest thou hear the voice, though it may be that thou understandeth it not. Yet shall it be a potent spell, whereby thou mayest lay bare the womb of thine unders…

…exposition I have confined myself to Gematria, the direct relation of number and word, omitting any reference to Notariqon, the accursed art of making words out of initials, like (in profane life) Wren and Gestapo and their horrid brood, or to Temurah, the art of altering the position of the letters in a word, a sort of cipher; for these are almost always frivolous. To base any serious calculations on them would be absurd. Love is the law, love under will. Fraternally, 666 P.S. You should study The Equinox. Vol. I, No.5, The Temple of Solomon t…

…now that it is the cup of poison offered by your enemy; drink it with confidence; it is he that will fall dead! How can I give Cambodian art its proper place in art, if I have never heard of Cambodia? How can the Geologist estimate the age of what lies beneath the chalk unless he have a piece of knowledge totally un- connected with geology, the life-history of the animals of whom that chalk is the remains? This then is a very great difficulty for the Magician. He cannot possibly have all experience, and though he may console himself philo- soph…

66 The Pangs of Repentance. XIII THE BLIND BEGGAR Thou hast come back to me, Habib ! but in sooth thou art a sorry sight ! Fifteen1 years since thy birth in Iran ; yet thy flesh hangs on thee like his old clothes on Abdullah2 the blind beg- gar. Seven days did the barber and the druggist toil upon thee ; but thy foulness clings like musk.

I drink a “Citron pressé.” Alas! here comes Maryt (with a sad tale of X. It appears that she fainted and spent some hours at the hospital. I should have insisted on her staying with me; the symptoms began immediately on her drinking some coffee. I have noticed with myself, that eating has started the action).

…count of Geomancy. At first sight it looks as if all I could do was to refer you to the official text book of that sublime and difficult art. You will find it in The Equinox, Vol. I, No.2. The first thing to remember about Geomancy is that although the various intelligences are attributed to the twelve signs of the Zodiac they all appertain to the element of earth. Anyone therefore who has got in his nativity an earthy sign rising, or the sun in an earthy sign, or a good proportion of planets in an earthy sign, is much more likely to find Geoma…

We wander shelterless athirst Throughout the wilderness, And Thou our pilgrimage accurst Alone canst bless.

Assain our lives with penitence ! Our souls assoil ! Amen. W 52

That thou mayst sweep Swift on the dead from thine all-seeing steep And the unutterable word be spoken.
