…chievement of the heart’s desire; for the satisfaction of our dolorous and aching needs; for the building of a true and enduring City of God. Louis Umfraville Wilkinson London, 1946 E.v.
…licker and falter, And life and her love be dead ! In mysterious joy Awake—and destroy ! JASON. It is enough ! HERACLES, Too great for a god’s strength ! THESEUS. Speak ! CASTOR. Change! Not to be borne! POLLUX. But this is death ! ORPHEUS. Let the light fade. The oracle is past. JASON. The Voice is past. We are alive again. ORPHEUS. What spake That Silence? HERACLES. ‘* This is not a quest Where strength availeth aught.” I shall not go. 1 Of gods, men, and demons.
…that I saw not pity, but desire! CHORUS. Surely a bane more potent than the first. MEDEA. Love is itself enchantment ! CHORUS. Some kind god Whispers from this a little light of hope. MEDEA. Only the hopeless are the happy ones. CHORUS. But didst thou turn him from his gleaming goal? Cover that shame with sweeter shame than this? MEDEA. Thou knowest that his vigil was to keep, Invoking all Olympus all the night, And then to yoke the oxen, and to plough The fearful furrow, sow the dreadful seed, Smite down the armies, and assuage the pest Of sli…
…d, I leap as a fawn. The voice is uplifted, The lord of my dawn; My spirit is shifted, My love is withdrawn, I hear the sweet feet of my God; I know him; I fall In tears at his call. ORPHEUS., Cold lips and chaste eyes Of frost-fall that leap, That shake from the skies On the earth in her sleep Kiss nuptial, arise As the lyre-strings sweep ! Come forth! I invoke thee, O frost, the valleys await thee and weep. THE FRosr. So silent and wise In her cerement clothes, So secretly lies My soul in my snows ; I awake, I arise, For my spirit now knows T…
…s certainly time that I went for a walk in the country. Paris is not a stimulant to a poet of my calibre; I need to be face to face with God and see Him, and live. For when it is said that no man shall look upon His face and live, the emphasis must be on the word "man". It is the privilege of the poet that his life is fed by direct communication with nature, as a child in the womb of its mother. The man who is separate from nature, and is nourished by the gross food of his conscious impressions, produces only second-rate stuff. I feel the neces…
…s in an automobile, without finding a single place to let that corresponded in the smallest degree with our ideas. Virakam's brat-a most god-forsaken lout-was to join us for the Christmas holidays, and on the day he was due to arrive we motored out as a forlorn hope to Posilippo before meeting him at the station at 4 o'clock or thereabouts. But the previous night Virakam had a dream in which she saw the desired villa with absolute clearness. (I had been careful to say nothing to her about the Persian Nuts, so as to have a weapon against her in …

At last there must corne a moment when his whole being is swallowed up in fatigue, overwhelmed by its own inertia.

…pirits of this type are very sensitive. They suffer agonies of remorse on realising that they hâve injured their Master5 for he is their God; they know themselves to be part of him, their aim is to attain to absorption in him. They understand therefore that his interests are theirs. Care must be taken to employ none but spirits who are fit for the purpose, not only by reason of their capacity to supply information, but for their sym- pathy with the personality of the Magician. Any attempt to coerce unwilling spirits is dangerous. They obey from…

…f pure mathematics. It is, therefore, almost legitimate to say that pure mathematics is our link with the rest of the universe and with “God”. Now the conceptions of Magick are themselves profoundly mathematical. The whole basis of our theory is the Qabalah, which corresponds to mathematics and geometry. The method of operation in Magick is based on this, in very much the same way as the laws of mechanics are based on mathematics. So far, therefore as we can be be said to possess a magical theory of the universe, it must be a matter solely of f…

I met Mabel Black coming out of the Burlington Arcade. She looked fine, all over smiles, a very short, white skirt and a new pair of patent leather boots almost up to her knees. She must find them frightfully -hot. She rushed me into a tea place, awfully smart with rose-shaded lights reflected up to a blue ceiling; the combination made a most marvellous purple. We got an …
Chapter I *■ Verses 5—7 29 Hoor-paar-kraat or Harpocrates, the “Babe in the Egg of Blue,” is not merely the God of Silence in a conventional sense. He represents the Higher Self, the Holy Guardian Angel. The con nection is with the symbolism of the Dwarf in Mythology. He contains everything in Himself, but is unmanifested. See ILS.1 1 [See page 95.) 2 [Richard Wagner, Parsifal (1882). Wagner used the spelling Parsifal (rather than Percivale or Parzival) to emphasize a supposed Arabic ety mology of parsi “pure one” and fal “foolish.”] He is th…

…ot against the Holy Dove must transmute itself into the wondering Virgin that receives in her womb the quickening of that same Spirit of God. Any idea that is thus in itself positive and négative, active and passive, male and female, is fit to exist above the Abyss; any idea not so equilibrated is below the Abyss, contains in itself an unmitigated duality or falsehood, and is to that extent qliphotic 3 and dangerous. Even an idea like “truth” is unsafe unless it is realized that ail Truth is in one sense falsehood. For ail Truth is relative ; a…

… rich men and sceptics and Sadducees and respectable persons rushed at him and nailed him up like vermin ; then people saw that he was a god. He had proved that he was not a common man, for he was murdered. And ever since his creed has proved that it is not a common hypothesis, for it is hated. Next week I hope to make a fuller study of Mr. Crowley’s interpretation of Buddhism, for I have not room for it in this column today. Suffice it for the moment to say that if this be indeed a true interpretation of the creed, as it is certainly a capable…
…, all is fusion in the spirit’s shadow-veil, Till the Knowledge-Lotus flowering hides the world beneath its stem ; END OF Neither I, nor God life-showering, find a counterpart in them. As a spirit in a vision shows a countenance of fear, Laughs the looker to derision, only comes to disappear, Gods and mortals, mind and matter, in the slowing bud dissever : Vein from vein they rend and shatter, and are nothingness for ever. In the blessed, the enlightened, perfect eyes these visions pass, Pass and cease, poor shadows frightened, leave no stain u…

Ue done with the Gods ! the key of Valhalla is lost. The fires that Loki the liar built up of deceit Are like roses that cushion the moss for the warrior’s feet. Be done with the paltry defences!
