…04 success was attained by one of the youngest members, Frater Perdurabo. The very full‐ est details of this occurrence are given in The Equinox of the Gods.1 It is not here useful to dis‐ cuss the evidence which goes to establish the truth of this claim. But it is to be observed that it is internal evidence. It exists in the manuscript itself. It would make no difference if the statement of any of the persons concerned turned out to be false. 4. The Nature of the Evidence These historical digressions have been essential to the under‐standing o…

THE EQUINOX I did it. How? So great and grim The Gods are, I may never guess. Suffice it, on his mouth I swim A drowning dastard. The caress Wakes the lost life. I see him dress The godhead. Up he bounds and brays :— The wild ass of the wilderness, The soul that sees, the soul that slays ! Inhabit the untrodden ways ; Set! Thou my god and I thy priest, Thy temple hidden in the haze Of deserts death to god or beast! Thou who art both shalt foin and feast With me who am both, thy hate’s co-heir, Lord of the West and of the East— The scorpion’s ho…

I am the mate for ye all; I am the passionate Pan. Come, O come to the dance Leaping with wonderful whips, Life on the stroke of a glance, Death in the stroke of the lips! I am hidden beyond, Shed in a secret sinew Smitten through by the fond Folly of wisdom in you ! Come, while the moon (the moon !) Sheds her ambrosial splendour, Reels in the redeless rune Inef…

272 THE EQUINOX On the brows the brand of lust, In the eyes the blaze of bliss! Life, the pimp of malice, drags Love with rape of fingers rude, Flings to dust-heap death the rags Of its bleeding maidenhood. Therefore, we, the slaves of love, Stand with trembling lips and eyes; There is that shall reach above The soul’s sullied sanctuaries. Blasphemy beneath our touch Turns to prayer’s most awed intent; The profaner’s vilest smutch Is our central sacrament. Triumph, Templars, that are sworn To that vengeance sinister, Vigilant from murk to morn …

THE EQUINOX nor can I remember claiming to have attained it. (2) I did attain a state of consciousness which has had a lasting effect upon my life and made my view- point entirely different from that time. (3) The language I used to describe the state, came perfectly naturally to me, as the most convenient to describe a state foreign to any previous experience. (4) I might have used language of a higher plane than I was on, but I don’t see why. (5) I started control of body some months later when I had in some measure lost the complete recollec…

O lone Osiris in thy wintry tomb Of doom O lonely one, so utterly silent there, Too weary for despair— Yea, I have found thee too, thee too, And round thee all the blue Of the skies is blackened ; waned The light of thine eyes to the dusk.

The author of the Man-Cover is well-known to the readers of THE EQUINOX.

So does the Evocation of Bartzabel in Equinox I, IX. There are many extant invocations throughout his works, in many kinds of métré, of many kinds of being, and for many kinds of purposes. (See Appendix). Other methods of incantation are on record as efficacious. For instance Frater I. A., when a child, was told that he could invoke the devil by repeating th…
