…the sacred snake of Khem ; Come to face the Babe and Lion, come to measure force with them ! Ah ! these locks flow down, a river, as the earth’s be- fore the Sun, As the earth’s before the sunset, and the God and I are One. I who entered in a Fool, gain the God by clean endeav- our ; I am shaped as men and women, fair for ever and for ever.

The Book of Thoth

Queen of Disks, Water of Earth Prince of Disks, Air of Earth Princess of Disks, Earth of Earth The Tarot trumps are twenty‐two in number; they represent the elements between the Sephiroth or Things‐in‐Themselves, so that their position on the Tree of Life is significant. Here are one or two examples. The card called “The Lovers”, whose secret title is “The Chil‐ dren of the Voice, the Oracle of the Mighty Gods”, leads from the number 3 to the number 6. The number 6 is the human personality of a man; the number 3 is his spiritual intuition. Ther…

The Book of Thoth

PRINCESS OF DISKS The Princess of Disks, the last of the Court cards, represents the earthy part of Earth. She is consequently on the brink of transfiguration. She is strong and beautiful, with an ex‐ pression of intense brooding, as if about to become aware of secret wonder. Her crest is the head of the ram, and her sceptre descends into the earth. There its head becomes a diamond, the precious stone of Kether, thus symbolizing the birth of the high‐ est and purest light in the deepest and darkest of the Elements. She stands within a grove of …

This food, eaten in aYogin and ceremonial manner, is doing me good. I shall end, God willing, with coffee, cognac, and cigar. It is a fatal error to knoc…

…egation, over ferocity by pardon, that is the secret of Christianity, and it is that of eternal victory. I have seen the place where the earth still bledfrom the murder of Abel, and on that place there ran a brook of tears.
