54 AMBERGRIS FROM TANNHÄUSER Tannhäusers Song In the Beginning God began And saw the Night of Time begin ; Chaos, a speck ; and space, a span ; Ruinous cycles fallen in, And Darkness on the Deep of Time. Murmurous voices call and climb ; Faces, half-formed, arise ; and He Looked from the shadow of His throne, The curtain of Eternity ; He lookedand saw Himself alone, And on the sombre sea, the primal one, Faint faces, that might not abide ; Flicker, and are fordone. So were they caught within the spacious tide, The sleepy waters that encased t…

…red wills and faiths grown old and rotten ....And deeds undared his sceptre, sword and globe. ........Keep us, O Mary maid, ........What time the King-Ghost goes arrayed! The Hell-Wind whistles through his plumeless pinions; ....Clanks all that melancholy host of bones; Fate's principalities and Death's dominions ....Echo the drear discord, the tuneless tones. ........Keep us, dear God, from ill, ........What time the Hell-Wind whistles shrill. The King-Ghost hath no music but their rattling; ....No scent but death's grown faint and fugitive; N…

…Is nor counted nor reckoned! Inconceivable hollow, Eternity’s womb! Cataclysmal they follow, Tomb hidden in tomb. Reeled off and unspun, Time’s fashion is done In the ultimate Abysses of fate. Eons they swallow, And swamp in the gloom, Where Eternities follow Their biers to their tomb. ORPHEUS O Mother, O hollow Sweet heart of the moon! O matchless Apollo That granted the tune! Time’s children follow The strings that commune With Nature well cloven that comes to the lyre’s lilt silver-hewn. OT O bays of the wind, And shoreland of Thrace! go

…ny of the pang is not to be de- scribed; if alleviation there were, it was but the exulta- tion of feeling that this was final. Not only time, but all expansions of time, all mon- sters of time's womb were to be annihilated; even the ego might hope some end. The ego is the worm that dieth not, and existence the fire that is not quenched. Yet in this universal pyre, in this barathrum of liquid lava, jetted from the volca- noes of the infinite, this lake of fire that is reserved for the devil and his angels, might not one at last touch bott…

A NOTE ON GENESIS of the Universe (or Magical Mirror in Man). As it were the Egg of the Black Swan of Time, the Kala Hams, the Triune a"y, or word of Power or of Seb, the Bird of Life, whose will was heard in the Night of Time. The total numeric value of the verse is u1n3= 4459, of which the Key is 22, the number of the Paths from 8 ton; and the Key of 22 is 4, the Tetractys and the Threshold of the Universe. Now to proceed to what I have termed the Time Process, the first Word of the Law then is mwxo3a. Now in the Hebrew Scriptures the first w…

I could not detach my sight from the girls, and for the first time my ear did not perceive the music of the two compartments. It seemed to me as if there were two personalities in me, one simple and natural, as it becomes a wood cover, the other complex and full of passions, as if I were really the man whom I knew tobe no more. I took the skull in my hands, and suddenly a light broke its way into my soul. How could I be deluded this time? I had arms and hands; I “SAW” th…

ORPHEUS O girded and spanned By the deeds of time, Rocks shattered and planned In your depth: where climb The race and the land, And the growth sublime Of worlds—I invoke ye! Come forth, ye centuries! Come to the rhyme! THE CENTURIES How hardly a man , Though his strength were as a spring’s Shall stretch out his span To the width of my wings! The years are enfolden In my bosom golden, My periods Are the hours of the Gods. They have their plan In my seasons; all things Are woven in the span — Of the spread of my wings. My brazen gates cleft By s…

… O mystical tune Of a magic litten Of music, the moon, The stars unsmitten, The sun, the unhewn Stones deeply bitten By runic fingers of time, where decrees of the Fates are written| Time listens, obeys me; All Nature replies ; Nought avoids me, nor stays me, Not checks, nor defies. Tribute she pays me From seas unto skies. But Death—shall he heed me or hear? shall he list to the lyre and arise ? O thou who art seated, Invisible king, The never-defeated, The shadowy thing! gI

In good sooth they were flurried as are min- isters on a reception day, or the assistants in the Government pawn-shop when a national festival allows redemptions without interest. I even believe that from time to time they watched the hand of the clock with as much impatience as human judges who, in session since the morning, cannot preven…

At first, of course, all this is dreadfully confusing ; but persist, and a time will come when all the odd bits fit into the jig-saw, and you behold-with what adoring wonder!-the marvellous beauty and symmetry of the Qabalistic system. And then-what a weapon you will have forged! What power to analyze, to order, to manipulate your thinking! The Book of the Law itself insists upon the fact that it contains a Qabalah which was beyond me at the time of its dictation , is beyond me now, …
