Snowdrops from a Curate’s Garden

…Then he sucked out the faeces and faeculent greases From 45 whores in the Strand. Still more to complete us he swallowed a foetus Stewed whole with spew, monthlies, and snot. The sauce was sublime ; it was based on the slime Of a fishwoman’s rotten old twat. He proceeded to suck the shit that had stuck To the hairs on a bugger-boy’s bottom. Gulped down a placenta : drank piss and Apenta, And said “ Now I think chat has got em ! ” He reserved every shot till the dinner was hot And the people of “ Sept ” were content.

24 Necromancy and Spiritism Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Really, you make me ashamed of you! To write to ignorant me to wise you up about necromancy, when you have at your elbow the one supreme classic-Levi's Chapter XIII in the Dogme et Rituel! 1 What sublimity of approach! What ingenuity of "considerations"! With what fatally sure steps marches his preparation! With what superb technique does he carry out his energized enthusiasm!

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…ystem by which all its members can be adequately nourished without conflict and the waste products eliminated without discomfort. On the whole, I was so well guarded that incidents like the above were rate accidents. I had been taught by bitter experience that almost anybody might be a spy, so that the slightest indiscretion in talking to an apparently harmless stranger might result in some disaster. The foundations were laid of an exaggerated shyness which has never left me. I was practically debarred from human intercourse, even that of the g…

…erful realization while the consciousness of the unreality of the “T” lasts. With the loss of “the ego” comes the consciousness that the whole universe of things and people is but a part of the State then arrived at. That if this little body dies, existence still remains in all the other part of the Universe and therefore the change called Death, occurring in different atoms, all the time, makes no difference. Is there any reason why one should not look upon every- thing and everybody as parts of Oneself, since one is equally willing to allow a…

Little Poems in Prose

“Wait a moment,” said she; “those are the house-surgeons, and in this packet are stu- dents. And she spread out like a fan a whole lot of photographs representing much younger faces. “When we see each other next you will give me your portrait, won’t you darling?” “But,” said I to her, pursuing in my turn my own fixed idea, “why do you think I am a doc- tor?” “Because you are so nice, and so kind to women.” “Singular logic,” said I to myself. “Oh, I am hardly ever deceived, I have known ever so many of them. I love doctors so much, that although…

The whole flower-life of earth and sky and sea From me was born, and shall return to me! I am: for men and beings passionate, For mine own self calm as the river-cleaving Lotus-borne lord of Silence: I create Or discreate, both in my bosom heaving: My lightest look is mother of a Fate: My fingers sapphire-ringed with sky are weaving Ever new flowers and lawns of life, designed Nobler and newer in mine olden mind. …

He seemed to see no opening I gave, But hated me the more. Serene and suave, He fenced with deep contempt. I stumble, slip, Guard wide—and only move his upper lip. “ You know I will not strike, Sir pure and brave ! Fight me your best—or I shall find a whip ! ” That stung me, even me. He wronged me, so : Therefore some shame and hate informed the blow ; Some coward’s coura…

The whole mind of man is rent by the advent of Adonai, and is at once caught up into union with Him. " In the air," the Ruach. Note that etymologically the word crvy, "together with," is the San- skrit Sam; and the Hebrew ADNI is the Sanskrit ADHI. The phrase "together with the Lord," is then literally identical with the word Samadhi, which is the Sanskrit name of the phenomenon de- scribed by Saint Paul, this uni…

FORTUNE R.O.T.A.—THE WHEEL2 “There cometh a peacock into the stone, filling the whole Aire. It is like the vision called the Universal Peacock, or, rather, like a representation of that vision. And now there are count‐ less clouds of white angels filling the Aire as the peacock dissolves. “Now behind the angels are archangels with trumpets. These cause all things to appear at once, so that there is a tremendous con‐ fusion of images. And now I perceive that all these things are but veils of the wheel, for they all gather themselves into a wheel…
