DEDICATION ΙΩ ΠΑΝ I owe this book, as all that I possess, to my playmates in the Garden of Eros ; but they are rich ; they want for nothing ; therefore I give it to the poor boys and girls of England, so that, shaking off morality and religion, they may be partakers in Love unto the glory of PAN.

… by a drab,” the only decent ingredient in the cauldron of bourgeoisie gone mad. It is impossible to go into details with regard to this book. In every page Yvette Guilbert unconsciously reveals her unique greatness. Her brain is great enough to comprehend the minutiz of technique without in the smallest degree forgetting the fact that technique is absolutely worthless without genius. America is full of technicians, and I suspect that a number of geniuses are born. But the genius is strangled before he can acquire technique, and the technician …

142 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS What you say about tension and eagerness and haste is very true. See The Book of the Law , Chapter 1:44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose , delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect . This, from a practical point of view, is one of the most important verses in the book . The unusual word unassuaged is very interesting. People generally suppose that 'will' is the slave of purpose, that you cannot will a thing properly unless you are aiming at a definite goal. But this is not the case. Thinking of the go…

XXlV PREFACE a chapter from The Book of Lies, quoted in one of these letters. It clarifies his point of view with force and simplicity. Love and Death are likened to the two hounds of God that pursue man, who must ultimately turn and use them. "Make love not war" certainly would win his approval. But then he might insist on changing the word "not" and replacing it with "and." The Book of the Law serves as his authority here, governing his every attitude and moral outlook. It gives vast prominence to love-to love under will. But its third and fi…

THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 3 g De Vita Corrigenda (Of Correcting Life) NOW, son, that the true Principle of Self-Control is Liberty. For we are born into a World which is in Bondage to Ideals; to them we are perforce fitted, even as the Enemies to the Bed of Procrustes. Each of us, as he grows, learns Repression of himself and his true Will. It is a lie, this folly against self: these Words are written in The Book of the Law. So therefore these Passions in ourselves which we understand to be Hindrances are not part of our True Will, but dise…
