I had attained none of my objectives in calling on her, and was a bout to depart. She detained me to show me this "something." She went and took a folded cloth from a drawer. "Shut your eyes," she said. When I opened them they saw a cloth four feet or more in length, on which was a magnificent copy, mostly in applique silk, of the Stele. She then told me…

The above statement is as succinct as I can make it. By April 8th, I had been convinced of the reality of the communication and obeyed my wife's arbitrary instructions with a certain confidence.

They must accept the Crowned and Conquering Child as the Lord of the Aeon, and exert them- selves to establish His reign upon Earth. They must acknowledge that “The Word of the Law is 0EAHMA and that “Love is the Law, love under Will.” Each member must make it his main work to discover for himself his own true will, and to do it, and do nothing else. 2 He must accept those orders in the Book of the Law that apply to himself as being necessarily in ac…

…s altered to Meithras (365) to suit the correction of the calendar. The matter is of extreme importance; because Aiwass in dictating The Book of the Law repeatedly makes use of correspondences in Greek, such as Thelema, Will, 93 --- Agape, Love, 93. 718 = Stele 666, and so on. He also equates Greek and Hebrew words. Thus his own name spelt in Hebrew has the value 93, but in Greek that of 418, thus bringing into relation the Word of the Law of the Aeon with the Magical Formula of the Great Work. My preliminary studies, however, tended to discour…

Although the style of the book is comparatively undistinguished, and some- times lapses into actual slovenliness, Mr. Brodie-Innes frequently attains beauty, and beauty of a positive and original kind. Some of his sea-pictures are quite fine. But the magic of style that renders Arthur Machen so marvellous is lack- ing. “Old as the World” is always interesting; it is never enthralling. “Old as the World” is much better than “Morag the S…
