But when (8th April, 1904 e.v.) he was writing down the Book of the Law from the dictation of the messenger of the Se‐ cret Chiefs, he seems to have put a mental question, suggested by the words in Chapter I, verse 57: “the law of the Fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God” (“The House of God” is one name of the Tarot Trump numbered XVI) to this effect: “Have I got these attribu‐ tions right?” For there came an interpolated answer, “All these old lette…

The oil consecrates everything that is touched with it; it is his aspiration; all acts performed in accordance wdth that are holy. The scourge tortures him; the dagger wounds him; the chain binds him. It is by virtue of these three that his aspiration remains pure, and is able to consecrate all other things. He wears a crown to affirm his lordship, his divinity; a robe to sym…

…ey have become intensely painful to themselves and unable to perform their proper function; to their own ruin and that of the state. The Book of the Law was given to mankind chiefly in order to provide it with an impeccable principle of practical politics. I regard this as more important for the moment than its function as a guide in its evolution towards conscious godhead. It is only while writing this chapter that I have come to {849} understand the real purport of the book, and it is evident that the Secret Chiefs have prevented me from putt…

THE BIG STICK The idea that Revelation is a. book 01 Initiation is not altogether new to Freemasons, as the late Dr Geo. Oliver elaborated that view at considerable length, but Mr Pryse’s View is quite a different sort of Initiation; it is the development of the semi—miraculous powers of the Gnosis of Clement, Origen, and the early Christian Church, the birth of the divine three principles, the Crestos, in the human soul. The key to this “Unsealing” is the text itself, in which is found the Nos. 333, 444, 666, 777, 888, 999, ιοοο, as applied to…

"For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered From the lust of result, is every way perfect." Book of the Law, I, 44. To-day practically all men must realize that humanity has arrived at a cross road. Society over the whole earth is being rocked to its foundations, and change of great magnitude is facing all established human institutions. Years ago some few foresaw the approaching cataclysm, and a small minority saw the import thereof.

I imply that the black pig is im the sty. All I have done is to represent the conversion as a change, rather than as merely another way of expressing the same thing. And “change” is really …

… one has to record hundreds of experiments to set up a case which will even begin to exclude coincidence. For instance, I want a certain book. I use my book- producing talisman. The following day, a bookseller offers me the volume. One experiment proves nothing. My ability to do it every time is the proof. And I can't even do that under 'test conditions'; for it is necessary that I should really want the book, in my subconsciousness, whose will works the miracle. It is useless for me to think, or pretend, that I want it. Any man may

We are sure that the moment it is brought to the notice of Lord Alfred Douglas he will take the proper steps to crush the perpetrator. The title-page discloses, as might be expected, both the title of the book and the name of the author. The former is “ Poémes,”, and the latter is Lord Alfred Douglas.

Perhaps Monsieur will find there what he requires, he said coldly. Furtively and hurriedly, his glance divided between the forbidden book and the shop-door, his only safe- guard from intrusion the thought that nobody who en- tered would be in a position to throw stones at a fellow- culprit, Theodore Bugg turned over the pages.
