…s exempt From mockeries that tempt Who fly about the lea ; Proclaiming things unheard, Unknown to brightest bird, Things, whose unspoken word Is utmost secrecy. So pure, so pale we lie, Like angels eye to eye, Like lovers lip to lip. So, the elect knight, I Keep vigil to the sky, While the dumb moments slip.
76 XXIX Ha! but the good knight, striding forth From Set’s abominable shrine, Pursues the quest with bitter wrath, So that his words flow out like wine. And lo! the soul that heareth them Is straightway healed of suffering. His fame runs through the land of Khem: They flock, the peasant and the king. There he works many a miracle: The blind see, and the cripples walk; Lepers grow clean ; sick folk grow well ; The deaf men hear, the dumb men talk. He casts out devils with a word; Circleth his wand, and dead men rise. No such a wonder hath been h…

… taking our pleasure as Kings and Queens in Heaven and on Earth. The sun is arisen; the spectre of the ages has been put to flight. “The word of Sin is Restriction,” or as it has been otherwise said on this text: That is Sin, to hold thine holy spirit in! Go on, go on in thy might; and let no man make thee afraid. Love is the law, love under will. 52
…hereby affirming implicitly the very duality from which one is seeking to escape. Note also that “me” may imply the Greek MH, “not.” The word “only” might be taken as with the number of 156, that of the Secret Name Babalon of Nuit.1 2 There are presumably further hidden meanings in the key-word “all.” 1 [I.e. onlv, in Hebrew letters, reading from left to right.] 2 [See 1:22.]
…used to piss ; Your farts would smoke, your turds would hiss ; Then you would take my cock to kiss, My darling ! I used to hang on every word Your dainty little mouth averred, And make milk puddings with a turd, My darling ! I shat of yore between your bubs. Those fat amusing butter-tubs : Loves butterflies can grow from grubs, My darling ! Aye ! Tis a keen remorseful knife To think of you, my fucksome wife, In this my solitary life. My darling !

…ery wheel This passion that consumeth me, Music that mars mans dignity ! My love is like an unhealed scar That throbs and bleeds at the word war ! My love is like a masterless Hound, running wide on a false scent. I am the plaything of distress ; The marionette of the Event ! Yet this red lust that rots my sword Is the same flame that tempered it. Though my death be my births reward, And folly be the prize of wit,
…; but one may say that it is, to the formula of Osiris, what the turbine is to the reciprocating engine. III There are many other sacred words which enshrine formulæ of great efficacity in particular operations. For example, V.I.T.R.I.O.L gives a certain Regimen of the Planets useful in Alchemical work. Ararita is a formula of the macrocosm potent in certain very lofty Operations of the Magick of the Inmost Light. (See Liber 813.) The formula of Thelema may be summarized thus: Q “Babalon and The Beast conjoined” — £ unto Nuith (CCXX, 1, 51) — A…
… it is infinitely beyond speech or thought or 1. Study, in the Roman Missal, the Canon of the Mass, and the chapter of “defects”. 2. The Word Chastity is used by initiâtes to signify a certain State of soûl and of mind déterminant of a certain habit of body which is nowise identical with what is commonly understood. Chastity in the true magical sense of the word is inconceivable to those who are not wholly emancipated from the obsession of sex. — 182 —
… a pound, or a factor indispensable, as when one says "A wheel is part of a motor-car," or ... The fact is that very few of us know what words mean; fewer still take the trouble to enquire. We calmly, we carelessly assume that our minds are identical with that of the writer, at least on that point; and then we wonder that there should be misunderstandings! The fact is (again!) that usually we don't really want to know; it is so very much easier to drift down the river of discourse, "lazily, lazily, drowsily, drowsily, in the noonday sun." Why i…

…o multiply and to perpetuate that particular Nature, though without necessary consciousness of what is happening. In a deeper sense, the word “Death” is meaningless apart from the presentation of the Universe as conditioned by “Time.” But what is the meaning of Time? There is great confusion of thought in the use of the word “eternal,” and the phrase “for ever.” People who want “eternal happiness” mean by that a cycle of varying events all effective in stimulating pleasant sensations; i.e., they want time to continue exactly as it does with the…
… he and feeble that he could scarce lift his hands in benediction upon us. And all we waited about him, both by day and night ; lest one word should fall, and we not hear the same. But he spake never unto us, though his lips moved and his eyes sought ever that which we could not see. At last, on the day of D., the mother of P.,? he straightened himself up and spake. This his final discourse was written down then by the dying lions in their own blood, traced willingly on the desert sands about the Grove of the Tlustrious. Also here set down: but…
… I constrain ; Iam he that is sworn to endure; make thy music again] I am Lord of the Star and the Seal; I am Lord of the Snake and the Sword ; Reveal us the riddle, reveal! Bring us the word of the Lord ; As the flame of the sun, as the roar of the sea, as the storm of the air, As the quake of the earth—let it soar for a boon, for a bane, for a snare, For a lure, for a light, {or a kiss, for a rod, for a scourge, for a sword— Bring us thy burden of bliss—Bring us the word of the Lord! TAURUS. In vain thou askest speech from our Lady of Silence:…

…And Peace stand above, unupbraided, As splendid as night. No longer the sun shall cast shadow, No longer the flower shall lack rain, The word shall be fair as a meadow, And Love know no tincture of pain ; The Glory of God shall be on us, And over the kingdom unpriced The Spirit of Love is upon us, A crucified Christ ! O rapture ! O glory ! O gladness ! When Satan is fled from the land, When Christ cleanses sin, and from madness Deletes its indelible brand ; For life shall spring where they have smitten, And Love rise from under the rod, Till al…
…ncholy—O, the child of folly !— Looms on my brow, a perched ancestral bird ; Black are its plumes, its eyes are melancholy, It speaks no word. Like to a star, deep beauty’s avatar Pales in the dusky skies so far above : Seven rays of gladness crown its passionate star, One heart of love. The fringing trees, marge of deep-throated seas, Move as I walk : like spectres whispering The spaces of them : let me leave the trees— It is not spring ! Spring—no ! but dying autumn fast and flying, Sere leaves and frozen robins in my breast ! There is the wi…
The Unknown Minstrel. Leave the wide circle—word and argument ! Move to the line—the steady will of man, That shall attract the Two, the Breath of Life, The Holy Spirit : land you in the Three, Where form is perfect— in the triangle. Tannhauser. My friend, the Three is infinitely small, Mere surface. And I seek the Depth divine ! The Unknown Minstrel. The solid ! But the triangle aspires To that same unity that you despise, And lo ! the Pyramid ! The Sages say : Unite that to the Sphinx, and all is done, Completion of the Magnum Opus. Tannhause…
…d Strife Lie in his bosom for a wife! But oh, the glory of the quest, The gainless goodly prize! The fairest form man e’er caressed, The word he heard most wise ;— All lures of life avoid and cease Before the winning of the Fleece! O nameless splendour of the Gods, Begotten hardly of Heaven! Unspoken treasure of the abodes Beyond the lightning levin! No misery, no despair may pay The joy to hold thee for a day! JASON. Athena’s servant recks not much of Ares. PELIAS, Are thine eyes kindled at the golden thought? JASON. * Mine eyes see farther th…
