Till the response, full chorus of the earth, Flash through the splendid portals of re- birth, Completing Truth in its amazing spa…

…e who pilot the Ship of Ra, ever ad— vancing onwards unto the heights of Heaven ! Lord of the Shrine which standeth in the centre of the Earth! Behold He is in me and I in Him! Mine is the radiance in which Ptah floateth over his firmament. I travel upon high. I tread upon the firmament of Nu. I raise a flashing flame with the lightning of mine eye, ever rushing forward in the splendour of the daily glorified Ra, giving my life to the dwellers of Earth. If I say “come up upon the mountains,” The Celestial waters shall flow at my word ; For I am Ra inc…

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

… CHRYSANTHEMUMS AT NIGHT. IIKE balls of snow , - In the dark of the year The white chrysanthemums Appear . Like balls of snow , When the earth 's a-cold The white chrysanthemums Unfold . Like balls of snow , In a winter 's morn The white chrysanthemums Are born . Like balls of snow , In the garden gloom The white chysanthemums Out- loom . Like balls of snow , From dusk till dawn , Still as tapers they glow , Flooding light on the lawn .

… Himalayan goat, with an eye in the cen‐ tre of his forehead, representing the god Pan upon the highest and most secret mountains of the earth. His creative energy is veiled in the symbol of the Wand of the Chief Adept, crowned with the winged globe and the twin serpents of Horus and Osiris. 1The Early Christians also were accused of worshipping an Ass, or ass‐headed god. See Browning, The Ring and the Book (The Pope). “Hear me, Lord of the Stars, For thee have I worshipped ever With stains and sorrows and scars, With joyful, joyful Endeavour. …

Magick Without Tears

…eomancy 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 Geomancy attractive than anyone the principal features of whose horoscope are devoted to other elements, especially air, which of course is the enemy of earth . Now these remarks apply of course very much to the type of question …

The Celtic race ! Amen ! And I Give Praise, and close mine eyes, cover my face, and laugh— and die. 7

The red sun scorches up our veins ; The white moon makes us mad ; Pitiless stars insult our pains With clamour glad. But Thou art shelter and defence From them that rage and spoil. Assain our lives with penitence ! Our souls assoil ! Amen. W 52

The World’s Tragedy

…as bad as that of the Plymouth Brethren. I had, however, cut myself adrift from all these things. I had lived among the great men of the earth, and the great mountains of the earth. Pollitt had made a poet of me ; Eckenstein had made a man of me ; Cecil Jones and Allan Bennett had made a God of me. I had forgotten the Plymouth Brethren !
