…hese are the excrement of Choronzon. It is this “shutting up” that is hideous, the image of death. It is the opposite of Going, which is God. Women under Christianity are kept virgin for the market as Strasbourg geese are nailed to boards till their livers putrefy. The nature of woman has been corrupted, her hope of a soul thwarted, her proper pleasure balked, and her mind poisoned, to titillate the jaded palates of senile bankers and ambassadors. Why do men insist on “innocence” in women? 1. To flatter their vanity. 2. To give themselves the b…

As an Idealist he proves that nothing can exist except in mind ; then finding he has overlooked the question of God , as an Animist adds : that all things , he himself included , cannot exist except in the mind of some Divine Being , failing ( perhaps purposely ) to see that such a Being was also but a figment of his mind . 2 Ibid . p . 79 . 3 Ibid . p . 55 .

…f this passage seems to be, that the holiness of a thing implies its personal relation with one, just as one cannot blaspheme an unknown god, because one does not know what to say to annoy him. And this explains the perfect inefficiency of those who try to insult the saints; the most violent attacks are very often merely clumsy compliments). Now the Angel is spread completely over the globe, a dewy film of silver upon that luminous blue. And a great voice cries: Behold the Queen of Heaven, how she hath woven her robes from the loom of justice. …

…sists in this involuted curve, one becomes a "Black Brother," or departs for the local loony-bin . Invocations of even the most positive Gods are dangerous, unless care can be taken to keep the personality of the God distinct from one's own. Athene is a superb deity ; but one does not want to be nothing but Athene, except in that supreme moment of Samadhi with Her which is the climax of the invocation. So, even in divine invocation, one should insist on definite communication of knowledge (or what not) which is incontestably not one's own. The …

The latter turns over while Ambrose rises and sits over him while the sweet salt offering, spiced now by the god to whom it is offered, trickles dain- tily into the open mouth of the languorous man. Then the boy slips down into his lovers arms : they share the incense with mingled mouths until the flavour is appeased and they swallow it with the first blush of reawakening desire. Katie ea- gerly reverses his position to prepare for a new embrace ; but Monty whispers to the Captain : Darling, I can bear it no l…

… Sun disappear at night and rise again in the morning, based all their religious ideas in this one con- ception of a Dying and Re-arisen God. This is the central idea of the religion of the Old Zon, but we have left it be- hind us because although it seemed to be based on Nature (and Nature’s symbols are always true), yet we have out- grown this idea which is only apparently true in Nature. Since this great Ritual of Sacrifice and Death was conceived and perpetuated, we, through the observation of our men of science, have come to know that it i…

Here I should risk my head, and the dice are loaded against me; nor does the deed imply "moral turpitude." Stalin's associates regarded him as a martyred hero when the law of the country, less cogent than Thelema, sat heavily on his devoted head. My retort, however, is convincing and final. Robbery in

…rticularly attractive girl.” Remember that this was the first thought of my “ carnal mind” which, as St. Paul says, is ‘‘ enmity against God.” My real first impression had been the tremendous psychological experience for which all words are inadequate. Seated by her side, at leisure to look while she babbled, I found my carnal mind reversed on appeal. She was certainly not a pretty girl from the standpoint of a music-hall audience. There was something indefinably Mongolian about her face. The planes were flat; the cheek-bones high; the eyes obl…

The “ Sword of Song ” is a masterpiece of learning and satire.
