…groom’s in a bride's. Deep in the hollow of the place A starry bed I saw, Gemmed with strange stones in many a space Of godlike rune and law. Such fancies as the fiery face Of living Art might draw. But rising up I lift my head Beyond the ripples clean : My arms with spray dew-diamonded Stretched love-wise to my queen That danced upon the light, and shed Her own sweet light between. But never a mortal joy might know, Hold never a mortal lover! Whose limbs like moonshine glint and glow, Throb, palpitate, and hover :— Pale sunrise woven with the …

…. When all were seated, Sister Cybele rose, struck a bell that stood at her hand, and said: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. O Master of the Temple, what is thy will?" Simon Iff rose in his place. "It is my will to eat and drink," said he. "Why shouldst thou eat and drink?" "To sustain my body in strength." "Why is it thy will that thy body may be sustained in strength?" "That it may aid me in the accomplishment of the Great Work." At this word all rose, and chanted solemnly in chorus, "So mote it be."

Answered the reflux and the indrawn breath : Let there be Life, and Death !

Not only the sins of the father but those of the mother, yes, more, those of their social surroundings, are visited on the children to the third and fourth generation. Nay, more, the mischief can never be mended. A man can destroy in a minute his kingdom, inherited from unnumbered dynasties of biological prudence. It will also be admitted, without reference to Magick, that the abuse of the talisman leads to moral, menta…

…le conception of the Cosmos is mathematical and hieroglyphic rather than literary. In the case of a book, such a book as the Book of the Law which is the suprême truih and the perfect rule of life, it is not répugnant to good sense to dérivé an oracle from its pages. It will of course be remarked that the Book of the Law is not mereiy a literary compilation but a complex mathematical structure. It îherefore fulfiïs the required conditions.

62 The Law is for All One cannot say that any significance of that gesture is forbid den, for “There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.” But this may and shall be said, that a significance which indicates igno rance or forgetfulness of the central truth of the Universe, is an acquiescence in that opacity caused by the confusion of the veils which conceal the soul from the consciousness, and thus create the illusion which the aspirant calls Sorrow, and the uninitiate, Evil. The sexual act, even to the grossest of mankind, is the agent which d…

No man yet lived whose personal adventures were worth wasting a word on. I feel a sort of shame at intruding myself in this way on the public. And yet this book will not be altogether an impudent inanity if it shows how every adventure may serve to bring about some achievement of eternal importance. {855} 88 The last lap!

And now, he gathers to himself vain men, Violent folk, and breakers of the law, And holds aloof in rocky deserts, where The land, accurst of God, is barren still Of any herb, or flower, or any tree, And has no shelter, nor sweet watersprings, Save where a lonely cave is hollow, and where A meagre fountain sucks the sand. Our folk Are naked of his counsel and defence Against the tribe of Ammon, and stand aghast; Our feeble arms sway doubtfully long swords, And spears are flung half-he…

…enteenth year of the Aeon, has reconstructed the Word I A O to satisfy the new conditions of Magick imposed by progress. The Word of the Law being Thelema, whose number is 93, this number should be the canon of a corresponding Mass. Accordingly, he Has expanded I A O by treating the O as an Ayin, and then adding Vau as prefix and affix. The full Word is then wn whose number is 93. We may analyse this new Word in detail and demonstrate that it is a proper hieroglyph of the Ritual of Self-Initiation in this Aeon of Horus. For the correspondence i…

It is wise to keep silence about those things “unlawful to utter” which one may hâve heard “in the seventh heaven”. This may not apply to the sixth. The Adept must keep himself in hand, however tempted to make a new heaven and a new earth in the next few davs by trumpeting his triumphs. He must give time a chance to redress his balance, sore shaken by the impact of the Infinité. As he becomes adjusted to intercourse with his Angel, he will find his passionate ecstasy develop a quality of peace and intelligi- bility which adds power, while it in…
