O keep us in the Way of those who bless Thy favour filling out their feebleness, And keep us ever from the fatal way Of those unhappy ones who go astray ! Amen. P 74

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

A MASTER OF THE TEMPLE However, on The DAY, the 12th of October, when he came actually to use his Invocation (prepared and illumi- nated during his retirement) expecting the Result might occur, he writes as follows: At precisely 6.50. I entered the Temple, lit the incense and robed. All being in order I knelt in prayer and at 7 P.M.

Afterwards, I was impress…

Magick Without Tears

PROGRESS 483 Last Sunday I looked through an interview with the least brain-bound of these ruminators-poor old, dear old G for gaga Bernard Shaw. The artist, said he, was a special case. He should have a nice easy job, three or four hours a day, and be free for the rest of it to devote himself to his Art. I wonder how much of his own work would have seen daylight if he had been tied to some silly robot soul-killing, nerve-crushing, mind-infuriating routine job for even one half-hour a day! When I am on a piece of work, I grudge the time for eat…

It occurs to me, now that I am seeing my way in the Operation a little more clearly, that one might consider the First Day as Osiris Slain 44, the Second as that of the Mourning of Isis U, the third as that of the Triumph of Apophis V, and to-day that of Osiris Risen X ; these four days being perfect in themselves as a 5°=6° operation (or possibly with one or two more 41

Little Poems in Prose

…eir mid- dle kingdom, placed as it was between man and God, is like us ruled by the terrible law of Time, and of its infinite posterity,—days, hours, minutes, and seconds. In good sooth they were flurried as are min- isters on a reception day, or the assistants in the Government pawn-shop when a national festival allows redemptions without interest. I even believe that from time to time they watched the hand of the clock with as much impatience as human judges who, in session since the morning, cannot prevent themselves from thinking of dinner,…

… is very strong,’ she would say immediately; ‘I suppose that you are an authority on strength’; and she would argue the point. “One fine day she took to chemistry, so that henceforth I found a mask of glass between my mouth and hers. With all that, she was very prudish; if at any time I shocked her by a too amorous gesture she writhed like a victim of rape.” “How did that finish?” said one of the three others; “I did not know you were so patient.” “For every evil,” he replied, “God has ap- pointed a remedy.

…in and Reymond if they had any messages to send. They were too exhausted to reply to their names. I was utterly bewildered. The previous day had been a bare hour, and the march to Camp 4 perfectly easy and by no means long or trying for men without loads.

I was in perfect condition in every respect. I spent the afternoon nursing the invalids. Tartarin recovered by the next morning suffic…
