… Drury Lane to the amazement of little children . The human first adores images , then imaginations ; the little girl who loves her doll will neglect it to tend her youngest little brother or sister , whom she will kiss and pinch in the true fashion of the human ; and when scarcely in her teens will commence those necessary and attractive adornments to enable her shortly to have a real little doll of her own . The little boy will forsake his brave little man in tin , in order to watch the soldiers in the park , or turn the coal cellar into a ro…

THE EQUINOX are, a mouse, while you are a rat. Make yourself a cat, and you will capture it. In one of the admirable stories which, though he did not invent it, he has told better than anybody, Perrault puts upon the stage a cat, which cunningly induces an ogre to change himself into a mouse, and the thing is no sooner done, than the mouse is crunched by the cat. The Zales of Mother Goose, like the Golden Ass of Apuleius, are perhaps true magical legends, and hide beneath the cloak of childish fairy tales the formidable secrets of science. It i…

Back from my lips, back from my breast! I hold you as I always will, You unprofaned and uncaressed, Silent, majestical, and still. Back! for I love you. Even yet Do you not see my deepest fire Burn through the veils and coverings set By fatuous phantoms of desire? Back! O I love you evermore. But, be our bed the bridal sky ! I love you, love you. Hither, shore Of far unstained eternity ! There we will rest. Beware! Beware! For I am young, and you are fair. Nay! Iam old in this, you know! Ah! heart of God! I love you so! 55

x INTRODUCTION But it is necessary to settle on something: bad rules are better than no rules at all. We may then hope that our critics will aid our acknowledged feebleness ; and if it be agreed that much learning hath made us mad, that we may receive humane treatment and a liberal allowance of rubber-cores in our old age. 4. The Tree of Life is the skeleton on which this ‘body of truth is built.- The juxtaposition and proportion of its parts should be fully studied. Practice alone will enable the student to determine how far an analogy may be …

…ous truck, or it ceases to possess a moral meaning. It is that confidence l in oneself which assures one that the long shot at the tiger will fly true to the mark, that the tricky putt will go down, that the man one never beat before will go down this time; also its horrid contrary, the moral certainty that something will go wrong, even with the easiest problems, with one hundred to one in one's favour. I think the official answer is that one's certainty is in reality based upon subconscious calculation, so that faith has nothing whatever to do…

I swear by Thyself, 0 Thou who art myself, that I will not write save to glorify Thee, that I will write only in beauty and melody, that I will give unto the world as Thou givest unto me, whether it be a consuming fire, or a cup of the wine of Iacchus, or a glittering dagger, or a disk brighter than the sun.

Nor should he omit to keep his Body of Light in close touch with the phenonema of its own plane, so that its privy consciousness may fulfil its proper functions of protecting his scattered ideas from obsession.

…fy, to shock, to disgust, to allure. Against all this he must oppose the Steel of the Sword. If he has got rid of the ego-idea this task will be comparatively easy; unless he has done so it will be almost impossible. So says the Dhammapada: Me he abused, and me he beat, he robbed me, he insuhed me: In whom such thoughts find harbourage, hatred will never cease to be. And this hatred is the thought which inhibits the love whose apothe- osis is Samadhi.

O but the generous flower that gives Her kisses to the violent sun , Yet none the less in ardour lives An hour , and then her day is done . Back from my lips, back …

146 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS you will make up your mind rapidly on this point . This is where your daily practice of the Qabalah will come in useful. You run through in your mind the seven sacred planets . The very first of them seems quite consonant with what you have so far seen. Everything suits Saturn well enough. To be on the safe side, you go through the others; but this is a very obvious case-Saturn is the only planet that agrees with everything. The only other possibility will be the Moon; but there is no trace noticeable of any of her more…

If it is said that in this way the society will gain only few members, it may be answered that our society has a spiritual head, and that those who are worthy of being admitted will be guided to it by means of their intuition; while those who have no intuition are not ripe for it and not needed.
