… that he was only known as a theorist in the cafe which supplied his creme de menthe. There he would hold forth interininably on God and man. Blessed with such means as a mediocre father's devotion to cutlery and an only son had supplied, it was his habit on occasion to descend into the country. Picture him, if you please, as very short and moderately fat, middle-aged at thirty- t\\‘o, clad in a bourgeois suit and an artist's tie, a red handker— chief under a black felt hat upon a bushy head garnished with a little beard and moustache, perspiri…

Iam Life, and the giver of Life; yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death. Iam alone; there is no God where I am. The DEAcON and all rise to their feet, with the Hail- ing sign.

CHAPTER VI The Formula of the Néophyte \ This formula has for its “first matter” the ordinary man entirely ignorant of everything and incapable of anything. He is therefore represented as blindfolded and bound. His only aid is his aspira¬ tion, represented by the officer who is to lead him into the Temple. Before entering, he must be purified and consecrated. Once within the Temple, he is required to bind himself by an oath. His aspiration is now formulated as Will. He makes the mystic circumambulation of the Temple for the reasons to be descri…

…hem. They would have had to succeed or fail entirely on their own virtues; whereas, as things were, the Oxford atmosphere and the Oxford manner shielded them from the rude blasts of all-round criticism. These ideas receive some support from the consideration of the relations normally obtaining between undergraduates and dons. On the Granta we are no doubt in statu puillari; the Oxonian is in statu quo pupillari. He is taught, trained and, if necessary, trounced, to respect the principle of authority. It is really fair to say that no Cambridge m…

To yourselves be slaves and masters; stand or fall to self alone; Human ethics will not loosen our Astarte’s crimson zone.

Yet will they not unite ? for the blending of Virtue and Vice means the loss of some supposed comfort , and comfort is the God of man's heart , the Vampire which sucks its life from his shrivelling soul . In laughter alone we shall never solve the riddle of life , only in the mingling of our smiles with our sobs shall we realize the kiss of God on our brow . Yet the dangers are terrible . How many of us can listen to the voice of Circe without becoming swine ? and in the full melancholy of so vast a contemplation , the poet sings :

THE EQUINOX Together for many months we studied and practised Ceremonial Magic, and ransacked the ancient books and MSS. of the reputed sages for a key to the great mysteries of life and death. Not even fiction was neglected, and it was from fiction that we gathered one tiny seed-fact, which (in all these years) has germinated to the present essay. Through the ages we found this one constant story. Stripped of its local and chronological accidents, it usually came to this—the writer would tell of a young man, a seeker after the Hidden Wisdom, w…

It is already a long time since this doctrine, or, rather, this antidoctrine, began to work upon the world, to plunge it into universal anarchy.

The most perverse man has a good side to him, and softens when one knows how to take him. If you had nothing in common with the vices of men, you would not even perceive them. Friendship, and the devotions which it inspires, are found even in prisons and in convict stations. The horrible Lacenaire faithfully returned any money which had been lent to him, and frequently acted with generosity and kindness. I have no doubt that in…

You could argue with him til all was blue, but you would never even begin to persuade him. He would know it was all nonsense, just in the same way as you cannot fool a dog about a tramp. It is true that this instinct is sometimes wrong after all in certain minor matters, because now and then conditions do change. But in all fundamental points humanity has not altered since the cave …

For that is not the Will of any Man which ultimateth in his own Ruin and that of all his Fellows; and that is not Liberty whose Exercise bringeth him to Bondage. Thou mayst therefore assume that it is always an essential Part of the Will of any Child to grow to Manhood or to Womanhood in Health, and his Guardians may therefore prevent him from ignorantly acting in Opposition thereunto, Care being always taken to remove the Cause of the Error…
