The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX Thou that hast granted heaven in a kiss, O Darling, need I tell thee what is this? (x11) I linger happily by the muddy river, Watching the lights, the dappled waters shine Under them, and the little leaves that quiver Along the dull green waters’ broken line. And thou art there still mirrored; thou art calling Through the trees, and through the clouds, and through the rain; In reverie I wander: oh, enthralling, To see thee mirrored in my poet's pain! O mariner! What wayward, rock-bound stream Is this? Past what immemorable town Of f…

… important of the key numbers of Liber AL. It is the number of the word of the Aeon, ABRAHADABRA, the cypher of the Great Work. (See The Equinox of The Gods, p. 138. Also The Temple of Solomon the King.) On this word alone a complete volume could, and should, be written. Cancer is the cardinal sign of the element of Water,2 and represents the first keen on‐ rush of that element. Cancer also represents the path which leads from the great Mother Bi‐ nah to Geburah, and is thus the influence of the Supernals descending through the Veil of Wa‐ ter …

He understood that she cared nothing, had never cared, would never have given a hair of her head {or all his body and soul. Understanding was to his brain a momentary death. Then with a silent snarl he sprang at her. She and her chair crashed backwards to the floor, and the black leopard was upon her, his teeth sunk in her throat. Edgar Rolles was only just in time.

To return to The Equinox, there was no question of selling even that small edition even at that pitiful price. I have never had any idea of how to do business. I can make plans, both sound and brilliant; but I cannot force myself to take the necessary steps to put them into practice.
