…ing only if my lover stay ; Listening to her breathing, Laughing, lover-weaving All the silken gold and glory of her head, Kissing as if time Forgot its steeps to climb, Made eternity’s, one with all the dead. Str. Y- CALLIOPE. Listen, then listen, O Thracian ! Oeager lay on the lea: I, from my heavenly station ; I, from my house of creation, Stooped, as a mortal to be Passionate, mother and bride ; Flashed on wide wing to his side, Caught him and drew him to me. Kisses not mortal I lavished ; Out of the life of him ravished Life for the making…

At the same time the Hiereus advanceth on the Candidate’s left, and the Hegemon standeth at his right, as formulating about him the symbol of the Triad, before he be permitted to place his right hand in the centre of the White Triangle of the Three Supernals on the Altar. And he first kneeleth in adoration of that symbol, as if the natural man abnegated his will before that of the Divine Consciousness. The Hierophant now …

The student will find more concerning these semi-mythical beings in Strabo, Diodorus and Varro. Déllinger says: “ This much is undoubted on the joint testimony of Strabo and Mnaseas; the gods whose initiation people received here (Samothrace) were Axieros, i.e, Demeter; Axiokersos, #.e., Hades; and Axiokersa, 7.e., Persephon…

…a has become obscure. A perfectly simple problem has been complicated by the most abject ethical and superstitious nonsense. Yet all the time the truth is patent in the word itself. (7) Yoga means Union. We may now consider what Yoga really is. Let us go for a moment into the nature of consciousness with the tail of an eye on such sciences as mathematics, biology, and chemistry. In mathematics the expression a plus b plus c is a triviality. Write a plus b plus c equals 0, and you obtain an equation from which the most glorious truths may be dev…

…. Ah! in the spiritual soul Is there no essence to abide When flesh and bone alike shall roll From shape to shape, from goal to goal, On time, the envious tide? All tire, all break, all pass. Beware False thirst, false trust, false doubts of truth Whilst thou art young, whilst thou art fair, Awake and see the sepulchre For beauty yawn and youth. Strive to cessation. Only this Is the true refuge: this alone Be implicit in our subtle kiss, Be master of the imperfect bliss We call perfection’s throne. Then, if we strive, not all in vain This visio…

…rt of a cannon may be heard before the order to fire is given. Physics is packed with such paradoxes. Now we know of living beings whose time-world is quite different to ours, only touching it over a short common section. Thus, a fly lives in a world which moves so fast that he cannot perceive motion in anything with a speed of less than about a yard a second, so that a man may put his hand upon it if he can restrain the impulse to slap. To this fly, then, the whirling fan would look quite different; he would be able to distinguish the four bla…

Many columns will seem to the majority of people to consist of mere lists of senseless words. Practice, and advance in the magical or mystical path, will enable them little by little to interpret more and more. Even as a flower unfolds beneath the ardent kisses of the Sun, so will this table reveal its glories to the dazzling eye of illumination. Symbolic and bar…

Now, the birthday tells the astrologer nothing but the position of the sun in the zodiac at the time of birth, and this po- sition varies to a small but sufficient extent in different years. This is indeed di- vining Hercules not merely from his foot, but from a big toe which may not be his at all. The error is often amusingly illustrated in the book itself. For ex- ample, Wm. T. Stead and Admiral Farragut were both born on July sth. On July 11th, John Quincy Adams and Wanamaker. This happy combination i…

…ined by supposing what I have called the genius to be a bodily substance in which the consciousness of the whole race (in his particular time) may become active under certain stimuli. There is much to be said for this view; language itself confirms it; for the words 'to know, 'gnosis,' are merely sub-echoes of the first cries implying generation in the physical sense; for the root GAN means 'to know' only in the second place; its original sense is 'to beget.' Similarly 'spirit' only means 'breath'; 'divine' and most other words of identical pur…
