…her? But in that Vision thou sayst not thus, my Son! Learn then of me the Secret Mystery of Illusion, and how it Worketh, and other Holy Law that is its Nature, and of thine Action therein; for this is an Arcanum of the Wisdom of the Magi, and proper unto thee that dwellest in the Land of Understanding. l
…fter. I gloated on the coming of the curse— I did create a hearse, Black plumes and solemn mourners; and saw The triumph of some natural law Fit for a poet’s verse. I saw some common fate to lure, to tempt; (No mortal of the ages is exempt) Some notable disaster to the house Wherein such piety and love abide; I saw some hateful spouse Carry away the bride. That feeble prescience of events to come, That stultified imagining, hath lied; And I can see, though all the signs be dumb And auguries unfruitful—I can see, Now, some intolerable tragedy Fi…

Truth, Courage, Love, shall win the bout, And those three others be cast out. Lead me, Master, by the hand Gently to this gracious land! Let me drink the doctrine in, An all-healing medicine !

…oglobin would not even save itself. Now, o my Son, do thou then consider deeply of these Things in thine Ordering of the World under the Law of Thelema. For every Individual in the State must be perfect in his own Function, with Contentment, respecting his own Task as necessary and holy, not envious of anothers. For so only mayst thou build up a Free State, whose directing Will shall be singly directed to the Welfare of all. i
…atest compliment I had ever received. During the three Chokmah days of my control of the paper I devoted every energy to proclaiming the Law of Thelma in its pages both directly and indirectly. My first important step in this direction, the thin end of the wedge, was an article "The Revival of Magick" which ran serially, ending in November. The last paragraph, a mere coxcombical flourish, though written with the quite serious idea of indicating to some person of adequate intelligence, the direction in which to seek for a Master, provided an ele…

…d ways, the principles involved have replaced those of the Dying God. Little remains but to accept Thelema consciously as a statement of law, so that any given problem may be solved by applying it to each case. The man Crowley had been chosen to enunciate this Law, that is, to exercise the essential function of a Magus. But he had yet to understand it, a task which involved the crossing of the Abyss, already described; and further, to identify his will with the Law, so that his personality might act as the focus of its energy. Before he could b…

…General, Keeper of the Golden Book, President of the Committee of Publications of the O.T.O. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It has been represented to US that some persons who are worthy to join the O.T.O. consider the fees and subscrip- tions rather high. This is due to your failure to explain properly the great advantages offered by the Order. We desire you therefore presently to note, and to cause to be circulated throughout the Order, and among those of the profane who may seem worthy to join it, these matters following co…

For though His Words be many, yet is His Word One, One and Alone; and by this Word he createth Man anew, in an essential Form of Life, so that he is changed in his inmost Knowledge of himself. And this Change worketh outwards, little by little, unto its visible Effect. n

Arise, and lay thine hand on God! Arise, and set a period Unto Restriction! That is sin: To hold thine holy spirit in! O thou that chafest at thy bars, Invoke Nuit beneath her stars With a pure heart (Her incense burned Of gums and woods, in gold inurned), And let the serpent flame therein A little, and thy soul shall win To lie within her bosom. Lo! Thou wouldst give all—and she …

…se instructions are for those ignorant of the dan- gers of the lower Iddhi (magical powers). Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Nothing less can satisfy than this Motion in your orbit. It is important to reject any Iddhi of which you may be- come possessed. Firstly, because of the wasting of energy, which should rather be concentrated on further advance; and secondly, because Iddhi are in many cases so seductive that they lead the unwary to forget altogether the real purpose of their endeavours. The Student must be prepared for te…

…s novel is much more than a great novel. It is the first novel of an epoch. It is the first attempt to depict a man who is living by the Law of Thelema, whose outlook on the world is based upon the magical formule of the #£on of Horus: “Every man and every woman is a star”; “There is no law be- yond Do what thou wilt.” Sanine absolutely refuses to be obfuscated by the fog of false morality. He judges actions by their real, not by their imaginary con- sequences, Bernard Shaw attempted this very feebly in his portrait of John Tanner; but Tanner, …
