…as no true place on the Tree, as indicating that material illusion now begins. In the place of Chesed, which is Water in our Qabalah, we find Tui, which is Water in the Chinese system. In Geburab, our Fire, is Kăn, Fire in the Chinese system. In the place of Netzach, which is Earth in our Qabalah, there is Kăn which is Earth on the Chinese plan. Fi‐ nally, for the Sephira Hod, which in our system is Airy and Mercurial, we find Sun, the Chinese trigram of Air. The Chinese system is therefore, in every way, equivalent to our own Qabalah, and it i…

In her bright cheeks: she darts away to find Like some uncovered hind Shade in the forest from the stag’s pursuit, Ere the sun’s passion shoot His ray, strange deeps unknown and feared to uncover. But now the ancient root Of some wise oak betrays her to her lover: She stumbles and falls prone: the forest noon Guesses life’s law ; all nature’s tune Tells that the hour is come when May must grow to June. -Then in the broad glare of the careless sun Apollo’s light is on her and within ; His shafts of glory pierce her one by one; His kisses darken,…

THE EQUINOX who denies anything asserts something,” now let me disclose to you this “Something,” so that you may find behind the pairs of opposites what this Something is in itself and not in its appearance. It has been pointed out in a past chapter how that in the West symbol has been added to symbol, and how that in the East symbol has been subtracted from symbol. How in the West the Magician has said: “As all came from God so must all proceed to God,” the motion being a forward one, an acceleration of the one already existing. Now let us ana…

…might Of the great Light above all gods, the fire Of our supreme desire. So out of grievous labyrinths of the mind The soul’s desire may find Some passionate thread, the clear note of a bird, To make the dark ways of the gods as light, _ And bring forth music from slow chants unheard, And visions from the fathomless night. So is the spirit of the loftier man Made holy and most strong against his fate; So is the desolate visage of the wan Lord of Amenti covered, and the gate Of Ra made perfect. So the waters flow Over the earth, throughout the s…

And yet in this tiny island we find proofs of very high civiliza- tion, and it is curious that Dr. Churchward has not mentioned the numerous hieroglyphics found there concerning which a very full account is given in the Smithsonian Reports of 1889. After these came another exodus, carrying with it the Lunar and Solar Mythos, and Horus became under varying names the supreme world-god, and his four sons, or emanations, the four quarters. It i…

…m duly praise (As I have given Him for making you). Pray not, ask not for wealth and length of days Or even for wisdom, lest one day you find That you are saddled with some thousand grooms (You bear the case of Solomon in mind!) All in frock-coats and helmeted (with plumes) — A scarcely pleasant prospect! Just give thanks O Lord, for what we have received, Amen! And then if Jordan overflows his banks, Our vines increase, and one seed turns to ten, Keep on thanksgiving! Even if things go wrong, Howls are less pleasant to the ear than song.

But this is an effect of much Time, so that in thy Hell thou art like to find Elements vain, or foolish, or contrary to thy present Weal. Yet, o my Son, this hidden Wisdom is not thy true Will, but only the Levers (I may say so) thereof. Notwithstanding, here lieth therein a Faculty of Balance, whereby it is able to judge whether any Element in itself is presently useful and benign, or idle and malignant. Here then is a Root of Conflict between the Conscious and the Unconscious, an…

All that he can or ought to think ? No ! the strong man and self -reliant Is the true spiritual giant . I blame no weaklings , bu…

VI Yet we may hope; for this, and not from fear, We kept our counsel ; we may hope anon To turn the corner of the evil year And find a brave new springtide coming on. Meanwhile by stealth I may invoke your shade And clasp you to me, though it be a dream Or little more, a vision from the Maid~ That rules by Phlegethon's sepulchral streain. Nay ! it is more: by magic art compel (My soul!) my maiden’s body to appear Visible, tangible, enjoyable Even to the senses of the amorous seer, Whose demon ministers through the gulphs and glooms Convey his m…

Thy lyre be adrift and astray : So to me thou shalt cling ! So to me thou shalt sing Of the beautiful law of the day !
