The Vision and the Voice

… And he hath the secret ofV. His ten horns spring from five points, and his eight heads are as the charioteer of the West. Thus doth the fire of the sun temper the spear of Mars, and thus shall he be worshipped, as the warrior lord of the sun. Yet in him is the woman that devoureth with her water all the fire of God. Alas! my lord, thou art joined with him that knoweth not these things. When shall the day come that men shall flock to this my gate, and fall into my furious throat, a whirlpool of fire? This is hell unquenchable, and all they shal…

… vision heard. The sylphs that skim The upper air, Light of limb, With floating hair, Tune their lyres To the faded west, And the sacred fires, As they pass to rest, For a moment stay As a note half-heard On their homeward way As a weary bird Lingers in space. O molten air! O dying grace! O dream most rare! O fire most fair! The waves that wander Under the night, As stars that ponder The birth of light, Lift their crests To the flash of fire, And in their breasts There is born desire

… God, And Her tears are like rain to enliven the sod, While the Blood of the LORD from His Body that runs Is the heat of the summer, the fire of its suns. In the darkness and fear of the torturing hours, The Mother brings life in the strength of Her showers ; The Son with the fire of His Passion withdrawn Enkindles the night to the life of the Dawn. In the cup of the world, as pure water and wine, His sorrow is mingled and mixed into Thine, For a liquor to heal us the children of night, The Immaculate Light, the Immaculate Light ! Amen. A 50

Whose lips bind all men in their bitter spell ; A love whose first caress, hard won, would be The final dissolution of desire, A flame to shrivel us with fire of hell.

So also shall he who invoketh often behold the Formless Fire, with trembling and bewilderment ; but if he prolong his méditation, he shall résolve it into cohérent and intelligible symbols, and he shall hear the articulate utterance of that Fire, interpret the thunder thereof as a still small voice in his heart. And the Fire shall reveal to his eyes his own image in its own true glorv; and it shall speak in his ears the Mystery that is his own right Name. This then is the virtue of the Magick of The Beast 666, and the canon of its proper usage:…

And when this also is silenced? Then is he himself his own light. This passage occurs again and again in the same form, and in paraphrase, as we read through the Upanishads. In Kathaka 5. 15 we find: There no sun shines, no moon, nor glimmering star, Nor yonder lightning, the fire of earth is quenched; * Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 4. 3-4. ++ These refer to …

…ne. And the Chymical Marriage of the Alchemists beginneth with a Weighing, and he that is not found wanting hath within him one spark of fire, so dense and so intense that it cannot be moved, though all the winds of heaven should clamour against it, and all the waters of the abyss surge against it, and all the multitude of the earths heap themselves upon it to smother it. Nay, it shall not be moved. And this is the fire of which it is written: “ Hear thou the voice of fire!” And the voice of fire is the second chapter of the Book of the Law, th…

They tremble to hear me, The powers of the fire. Come near me to cheer me! Be near and inspire! Be strength in my heart and good courage, and speed in the single desire ! ) The fire knows its master! They flicker and flare, Dread dogs of disaster, Wild slaves of despair. Faster and faster— My soul is aware Of a sound that is dimmer and duller, wide wings adrift of the air. Their forces that wander No God-voice know they! Their bridals they squander! Unknown is their way! The sky’s heart? beyond her Sweet bosom they stray. Shall these then obey …
