…of Cockaigne, where all is beautiful, rich, quiet, straightforward. Where luxury takes pleasure in admiring itself in the mirror of good order; where life is easy and may be softly breathed; from which disorder, turbulence, and the unforeseen are shut out; where happiness is wedded to silence; where the food itself is at once poetical, rich, and ex- citing; where everything resembles you, dear angel. You know the feverish malady which takes possession of us in times of wretchedness and cold; this homesickness for unknown coun-

…hy master-hand, Eros ! Her evil thinkings cease, Thy miracles begin. Eros ! Eros ! Be silent ! It is sin Thus to invoke the oracles of order Their iron gates to unclose. The gross, inhospitable warder Of Loves green garden of spice is well awake. Hell hath enough of Her three-headed hound ; But Loves severer bound Knows for His watcher a more fearful shape, A formidable ape Skilled by black art to mock the Gods profound In their abyss of under ground. Beware ! Who hath entered hath no boast to make, And conscious Eden surelier breeds the sn…

It is also referred to Venus in Aries, which indicates that one cannot establish one’s work without tact and gentle‐ ness. The wands are headed by the Ram, sacred to Chesed, the Father‐god Amoun‐Ra, as also to Aries; but at the other end of the wands are the Doves of Venus.

…Godhead — the exact goal of its efforts through countless incarnations. On the other hand, the practice cf torturing animais to death in order to obtain the elemental as a slave is indefensible, utterly black magic of the very worst kind, involving as it does a metaphysical basis of dualism. There is, however, no objection to dualism or black magic when they are properly understood. See the account of the Master Therion’s Great Magical Retirement by Lake Pasquaney, where He “crucified a toad in the Basilisk abode”. 2. A wolf would be still bett…

Now then, this being so, it is evidently good sense to construct one's own alphabet , with one's own very precise definitions, in order to handle an abstruse and technical subject like Magick. The "ordinary" words such as God, self, soul, spirit and the rest have been used so many thousand times in so many thousand ways, usually by writers who knew not, or cared not for the necessity of definition that to use them to-day in any scientific essay is almost ludicrous. That is all, just now, sister; no more of your cavilling, please; sit dow…

Crowley, however, was not going to judge any isolated story by the general laws of probability, so, bowing gracefully, he and set out to find Allan Bennett, whom he eventually ran down at the house ofa holy Yogi in Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo, to hear his account. Allan Bennett's account was les of belief. They had had, he s: id, an argument about the God Shiva, the Destroyer, whom Allan Bennett we use, i…

Accordingly, I took the grade of Zelator in December, of Theoricus in January and of Practicus in February. One could not proceed to Philosophus for three months, so I did not take that grade till May. The Philosophus cannot proceed to the Second Order in less than seven months; also he must be specially invited.

…reatest importance was attached by the Adepts of old to this, and it made the task of the Magician no easy one. He wanted a wand; and in order to eut and trim it he needed a knife. It was not sufficient merely to buy a new knife; he felt that he had to make it himself. In order to make the knife, he would require a hundred other things, the acquisition of each of which might require a hundred more; and so on. This shows the impossibility of disentangling one’s self from one’s environment. Even in Magick we cannot get on without the Help of othe…
