A HANDBOOK OF GEOMANCY That the Querent’s loss in business has been principally owing to his own mismanagement; that he will have a long and hard struggle, but will meet with help from friends; that his obstacles will gradually give way; and that after much anxiety he will eventually recoup himself for his previous losses. II L 161
…en I must write concerning Talismans for thine Instruction. Know first that there are certain Vehicles proper for the Incarnation of the Will. I instance Paper, whereon by thine Art thou writest a symbolic Representation of thy Will, so that when thou next seest it, thou are reminded of that Will, or it may be that another, seeing it, will obey that Will. Here then is a case of Incarnation and Assumption, which, before it was under- stood, was rightly considered Gramarye or Magick. Again, thy Will to live causeth thee to plant Corn, which in du…

WHY JESUS WEPT 37 ANGELA, aside. O true apothecary ! Thy drugs are — expensive, but well worth the money. (Aloud) Nay ! but I will go. You have shamed me enough. Go ! Go ! SIR PERCY. Nay ! I know better of a sudden. It is you that I love ! He would kiss her. She draws away. ANGELA. False, fickle wretch ! SIR PERCY. I will ! I will ! ANGELA. No ! No ! SIR PERCY. Yes, I was a fool, an ass, a brute. A village girl ! ANGELA. Blood will have blood, they say. SIR PERCY. You are my equal, Angela ! You shall be mine, mine, mine ! ANGELA. If I will not …

I4 your surroundings. You will say: “Good heavens! I must have been to sleep!” or else “What on earth was I meditating upon?” or even “What was I doing?” “Where am I?” “Who am I?” or a mere wordless bewilderment may daze you. This may alarm you, and your alarm will not be lessened when you come to full consciousness, and reflect that you have actually forgotten who you are and what you are doing! This is only one of many adventures that may come to you ; but it is one of the most typical. By this time your hours of meditation will fill most of th…
…es to the beautiful angels of Mohammed! The whole earth, reclothed with the rich adornments which all the arts have embroidered for her, will no longer be anything but a magnificent temple, of which man shall be the eternal priest. All that was true, all that was beautiful, all that was sweet in the past centuries, will live once more glorified in this transfiguration of the world. And the beautiful form will remain inseparable from the true idea, as the body will one day be inseparable from the soul, when the soul, come to its own power, will …

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES Axiom X It is by the will that the intelligence sees. If the will is healthy, the sight is just. God said: “Let there be light!” and light is; the will says, ‘‘ Let the world be as I will to see it!” and the intelligence sees it as the will has willed. This is the meaning of the word, “ So be it,” which confirms acts of faith. Axiom XI When one creates phantoms for oneself, one puts vampires into the world, and one must nourish these children of a voluntary nightmare with one’s blood, one’s life, one’s intelligence, and…

in the book it is defined, and accept Their Will1 as concentrating the Will of our Whole Order. They must accept the Crowned and Conquering Child as the Lord of the Aeon, and exert them- selves to establish His reign upon Earth. They must acknowledge that “The Word of the Law is 0EAHMA and that “Love is the Law, love under Will.” Each member must make it his main work to discover for himself his own true will, and to do it, and do nothing else. 2 He must accept those orders in the Book of the Law that apply to himself as being necessarily in ac…
…o be gratified, I bear toward thee! Pity me for my youth, the scattered dreams That are fallen from the shattered casket of my soul. Yet will I ravish thee even now, my queen ; I will fasten my fangs in thy breast, and drink thy blood, Thy leprous blood, to make me mad with hate, And frenzied with unsatisfied desire— I will make my bed with thee, thou harlot Rose Set ’twixt the limbs of the world, hate and desire. I will make me foul as thou that I may be A citizen of the world! I will quench the fire Immortal in me! I will be as thou, Prostitu…

…. Thus it is not a priori obvious why a billiard player should need a file. Since, then, we may want anything^ let us see to it that our will is strong enough to obtain anything we want without loss of time. It is therefore necessary to develop the will to its high- est point, even though the last task but one is the total sur- render of this will. Partial surrender of an imperfect will is of no account in Magick. The will being a lever, a fulcrum is necessary; this fulcrum is the main aspiration of the student to attain. All wills which are no…
…t tiie place or time is wrong. One cannot easily evoke water-spirits in the Sahara, or salamanders in the English Lake District. Hismael will not readily appear when Jupiter is below the horizon. 1 2 In order to counteract a natural deficiency of this sort, one would hâve to supply a sufficient quantity of the proper kind of material. One cannot make bricks without straw. With regard to invocations of the Gods, such considérations do not apply. The Gods are beyond most material conditions. It is necessarv to hll the heart and mïnd with the prop…
40 The Law is for All 1:57 Magick ceremonies proper are merely organized and con centrated attempts to impose our Will on certain parts of the Cosmos. They are only particular cases of the general law. But all we say and do, however casually, adds up to more, far more, than our most strenuous Operations. “Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves.” Your daily drippings fill a bigger bucket than your geysers of magical effort. The “ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold”1 have no organized will at a…
THE EQUINOX from your Will as being what they are. They will no longer appear pleasant and attractive, but as bonds, as shames. And when you have attained this point, know that you have passed the Middle Gate of this Path. For you will have uni- fied your Will. Even thus, were a man sitting in a theatre where the play wearies him, he would welcome every distraction, and find amusement in any accident: but if he were intent upon the play, every such incident would annoy him. His attitude to these is then an indication of his attitude towards the…
