…rt. And there is nothing so close Kin to thee it may not be hurtful to thee if this Balance is not truly adjusted. Thou hast need of the whole Force of the Universe to work with thy Will; but this Force must be disposed about the Shaft of that Will so that there is no Tendency to Hindrance or to Deflection. And in my Love of thee I will adorn this Thesis with Example following. i
…han the think- ing brain itself; all we can think of God or say of Him, so long as our words really represent thoughts, is less than the whole brain which thinks, and orders speech. Very good; shall we proceed by denying Him all think- able qualities, as do the heathen? All we obtain is mere negation of thought. Either He is unknowable, or He is less than we are. Then, too, that which is unknowable is unknown; and “God” or “ There is God” as an answer to our question becomes as meaningless as any other. Who are we, then? We are Spencerian Agnos…
…presents is an extremely secret process. Beneath his chariot is the calm and stagnant water of a lake upon which rain falls heavily. The whole symbolism of this card is exceedingly complicated, for Scorpio is the most mysterious of the Signs, and the manifested portion of it symbolized by the eagle is in reality the least important part of his nature. The moral characteristics of the person pictured in this card are subtlety, secret vio‐ lence, and craft. He is intensely secret, an artist in all his ways. On the surface he appears calm
25 Fascinations, Invisibility, Levitation, Transmutations, Kinks in Time Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Dear me! dear me! The world's indeed gone topsy-tUIVY if you have to ask me for the secrets of Fascination! Altogether tohu-bohu and the Temurah Thash raq! So much for a display of Old-World Courtly Manners; actually rubbish, for you might very well be fascinating without knowing how you worked the trick. In fact, I think that is the case ninety-nine times in a hundred. Besides, I read your letter carelessly; I o…
… by Elasticity, nor endureth Rigor save in Death. But whoso groweth bodily by a Law foreign to his own Nature, he hath a Cancer, and his whole conomy shall be destroyed by that small Disobedience. b
…ir with golden fans As Turkis rip a Nubian's womb With damascenéd yataghans . ? This one astonishing verse upsets the equilibrium of the whole poem , as it would of any poem ; for if the remaining thirteen had been penned in an equivalent vividness of colouring , the effect would have been one of complete overpowerment rather than of a sudden and dizzy joy . As the aristocratic virtues of one century become the democratic vices of the next , so do the noble renderings of one age of literature become the hack neyed phraseology of the following ,…
… to criticize. Am I to lose my grade of Babe of the Abyss? I cannot go wrong, for I am the chosen one; that is the very postulate of the whole work. This boat carries Caesar and his fortunes. A fair to good; but attention wandered toward close. A fair. Am convinced I did not go to sleep: yet the end is completely veiled from memory. (Neighbourhood-concentration attained—ED.)

…f the incompatibility of the lesser oath with the greater. This is indeed almost certain to occur, and it must be remembered that as the whole essence of the will is its one-pointedness,^ a dilemma of this sort is the worst in which the Magus can find himself. Another great point in this consideration of Magick Vows is to keep them in their proper place. They must be taken for a clearly defined purpose, a clearly understood purpose, and they must never be allowed to go beyond it. It is a virtue in a diabetic not to eat sugar, but only in refere…
28 Need to Define "God" and "Self" Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Artless remark! I Oh you! Well, I suppose it's a gift-to stir Hell to its most abysmal horror with one small remark slipped in at the end. Scorpion! "Higher self" - "God within us." Dear Lady, you could never have picked five words from Iroquois, or Banti, or Basuto or the Jargon of Master Francois Villon, or Pictish, which severally and together convey less to my mind. No, no, not Less : I meant More, so much more that it amounts to nothing at all. …
68 The God-Letters Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Maybe it was Devanagari that began it! This "sacred" character , used rightly for Sanskrit alone , is supposed (so Allan Bennett told me) to be constructed on-can one call them ideographic?-principles. The upright line is the soft palate ; the horizontal the hard ; and the line between them shows the position of the tongue when one pronounces the letter. He demonstrated this most elegantly for the letter T ( ); but I was never able to follow this up with most of the…
…lism of Lam—In many lyrics and sonnets Mr. Crowley’s dominant note is the very Imperialism, the Romanism of love; just as throughout the whole of his work there is the ringing note of mastery. But when he has seen the wisdom of not flinging splendid lines away on those subjects which wiser men remember only to themselves, when he has ceased to prefer the lurid and quickly evanescent gems of the rubbish-heap of sensations for the enduring and unsurpassable beauty of the stars, then will he give us more and better even than Hush—the music swells a…

…- ciety, particularly those concerning Property, and now reprinted for General Circulation. My Dear Sir,— Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I was glad to receive your letter of inquiry with regard to the Mes- sage of the Master Therion. It struck you naturally enough that on the surface there is little distinction between the New Law and the canon of Anarchy; and you ask, “How is the Law to be fulfilled in the case of two boys who want to eat the same orange?” But since only one boy (at most) can eat the orange, it is evident tha…

… security, and will break up civilization. To repeat: the event will establish the kingdom of the Crowned and Conquering Child over the whole earth, and all men shall bow to the Law, which is love under will.
