…l remain unknown, except to such as are intimately associated with them in their common work. 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.

…Love is seated on the skull Of humanity ; And the mad, malicious fool, Laughing brazenly, Gaily blows his bubbles high In the air apace. Will they reach the stars that lie At the end of space The shining globeO fragile veil ! Gives one leap supreme, Breaks and spits its soul out, frail As a golden dream. Groans the skull at every puff : Peace, I pray thee, peace ! The game is fierce and fond enough Will it never cease ? That which thy babes mouth, cruelly fain, Squanders in the scud, Monstrous assassin is my brain, My flesh and my blood …

…ity and compassion and tenderness visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with old sweetnesses; then shall my vengeance be known. I will slay me her child: I will alienate her heart: I will cast her out from men: as a shrinking and despised harlot shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and die cold and an-hungered. 44. But let her raise herself in pride! Let her follow me in my way! Let her work the work of wickedness! Let her kill her heart! 31

…girl, with a very high social education, she may know all about the position and general characteristics of these people. This, however, will not imply real knowledge of any one of them; she will have no means of saying how any one will react to her. At most, she can know only a few facts from which deductions may be made. It is unlikely, for example, that the V.C. will hide in a cellar if somebody thinks that there is a burglar in the house. It is improbable that the Bishop will in‐ dulge in the more blatant types of blasphemy. The position of…

…u are counting on a new dress to make a hit at a Reception, and doubt whether it is so much better than your present best, or whether it will be finished in time . Then, wear that present best to-night (wet , of course) knowing you are sure to soil it. 3. Obviously, all the usual conditions of a Magical Operation apply in this as in all cases; your aim must conform with your True Will, and all that; but there is one curious point about an Act of Truth: this , that one should resort to it only when there is no other method possible.

I will mould from out the universe A new blind angel, with a spirit’s curse. (v) The hour of love is passed; we lie asleep Dreaming of love; we wake to love again.

But this I fear for that she is not as any Woman, and I deem her to be the Vampire of this Ordeal. Now then? Shall I fear? Said I not long since, when I was called of Men Eliphaz Levi Zahed, that the Error of dipus was that he should have amed the Sphinx, and ridden her into Thebes? Shall I not take this Vampire, if she be such, and master her and turn her o the Great End? Am I such a Man as should fle…

The reader who is at all familiar with the sublime compu- tations of the Qabalah will find no difficulty in appreciating this Essay to the full; but all will gain benefit from the study of the ratiocinative methods employed. These methods, indeed, are so fine and subtile that they readily sublime into the Intuitive. This study is truly a Royal Magistry, an easy and sure means of exalting the consciousness from Ruach to Neschamah. 166

…. This is what is meant when we say that woman has no soul. It explains fully the difference between the sexes. Every "act of love under will" has the dual result (l) the creation of a child combining the qualities of its parents, (2) the withdrawal by ecstasy into Nothingness. Please consult what I have elsewhere written on "The Formula of Tetragrammaton"; the importance of this at the moment is to show how 0 and 2 appear constantly in Nature as the common Order of Events. Love is the law, love under will. Fraternally, 666

No God shall come From his high place and far immortal home To bend my will by force. Freeborn, I live In freedom, and the love that maidens give To men I give to one, but thou, most high, (For womans wits through your deceptions spy And know ye for Olympians) shall know A maidens heart no lover may win so.
