…ar-resound- ing light! Let the might Of Osirian sacrifice Dwell upon the self-slain king! Consecrate him, consecrate him, consecrate, ye holy ones, The imperial mind Thrice, and thrice the higher soul, Thrice the spirit, till the sun’s Utter glory burn upon him, till the freed Osiris find He is god above mankind, Thrice united unto man, As the living gold that ran Molten to the fiery sea, Mixed in its eternity.

…t is stuck together, and disposeth in right conformation the hairs that are beneath the supernals in that Orifice of the Nose of the Most Holy Ancient One which is called His Nose, and distributeth tens of thousands of severities upon the Inferiors.

…With life who never came to grips, Who gave me nothing priceless. Give me the purity distilled From dervish sweat and satyr bruises. The Holy Graal with wine is filled From no unbroken cruses. Doth not the World‘s great Alchemist Corrupt His oysters to make pearls? Shall not these lips praise Him? They kissed No cold reluctant girl’s. Jaja’ hath woven the web of God From threads of lust and laughter spun. In heaven the rose is worth the rod ; And love as water, One. 47

LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI 70 B% De Gautama (Of Gautama) HOM Men call Gotama, or Siddartha, or the Buddha, was a Magus of our Holy Order.

And His Way of Truth was Analysis, made possible by great Intention of the Mind toward itself, and that well fortified by certain tempered Rigour of Life. And He most thoroughly e…

Milk of moons Were not so pallid as his cheek, And roses of a million Junes His mouth left livid. So I seek In all God’s seas a tiny creek Wherein to moor my shallop. Nay!
