1 What Is Magick? Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. What is Magick? Why should anyone study and practice it? Very natural; the obvious preliminary questions of any subject soever. We must certainly get all this crystal clear; fear not that I shall fail to set forth the whole business as concisely as possible yet as fully, as cogently yet as lucidly, as may prove within my power to do. At least I need not waste any time on telling you what Magick is not; or to go into the story of how the word came to be misapplied to …

4 The Qabalah The Best Training for Memory Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Now you must learn Qabalah. Learn this Alphabet of Magick. You must take it on trust, as a child does his own alphabet. No one has ever found out why the order of the letters is what it is. Probably there isn't any answer. But our Magical Alphabet is primarily not letters, but figures, not sounds but mathematical ideas. Sir Humphrey Davy, coming out of his famous illumination (with some help from Nitrous Oxide he got in) exclaimed : The Unive…

37 Death-Fear-Magickal Memory Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. You ask me, very naturally, for details of the promise of Nuit (AL, I: 58) "certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death." In the first place, I think that it means what it says. There may be, probably is, some Qabalistic inner meaning: Those four nouns most assuredly look as if there were; but I don't feel at all sure what the Greek (or Hebrew, or Arabic) words would be; in any case, I have not yet made any attempt in this direction. To the straightfo…

…osophy possible, and without Theosophy the world-Wide interest in similar matters could never have been aroused. This interest is to the Law of Thelema what the preaching of John the Baptist was to Christianity. We are now in a position to say what happened to Mo- hammed. Somehowor another this phenomenon happened in his mind. More ignorant than Anna Kingsford, though, for- tunately, more moral, he connected it with the story of the “ Annuncia- tion,” which he had undoubtedly heard in his boyhood, and said “Gabriel appeared to me.” But in spite…

The Fairy might have been embarrassed, for there remained no longer anything at all; how- ever; she remembered in time a law very well known, though rarely applied in the supernatu- ral world inhabited by these impalpable deities, friendly to man, and often constrained to yield to his passions, such as the Fairies, the

LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI 100 Gu De Sirenis (Of Syrens) ONCERNING the Love of Women, o my Son, it is written in The Book of the Law that all is Freedom, if it be done unto our Lady Nuit. Yet also there is this Consideration, that for every Parsifal there is a Kundry. Thou mayst eat a thousand Fruits of the Garden; but there is one Tree whose name for thee is Poison. In every great Initiation is an Ordeal, wherein appeareth a Siren or Vampire appointed to destroy the Candidate. I have myself witnessed the Blasting of not less than ten of my own Flower…

…t to be able to deal with the changing conditions of life. It will be seen that the formula'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' has nothing to do with 'Do as you please.' It is much more difficult to comply with the Law of Thelema than to follow out slavishly a set of dead regulations. Almost the only point of emancipation, in the sense of relief from a burden, is just the difference between Life and Death. To obey a set of rules is to shift the whole responsibility of conduct on to some superannuated Bodhisattva, who would resent…

For this recede, Hide with me in the deepest caves Of some volcanic island; bleed Our hearts out by the ambient waves Of Coromandel ; live alone, Hermits of love and pity, far Where tumbled banks of ice are thrown, Watched by yon solitary star, Sirius ; there to work together In sorr…

10 The Scolex School Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. You actually want to know how to distinguish gold from copper pyrites- "fool's gold" they called it in '49 California-no! I wasn't there-or "absolute" alcohol and-Liqueur Whisky from "alki" (commercial alcohol-see Jack London's The Princess, a magnificent story-don't miss it!) and Wartime Scotch as sold in most British pubs in 1944, era vulgari.

This begins with the word “And,” rather as if it were a sequel to the “VOICE OF THE SILENCE.” It should not be assumed that this is the case. However, assuming that the first Fragment explains the Path as far as Master of the Temple, it is legitimate to regard this second Fragment, so called, as the further instruction; for the Master of the Tem- ple must leave his personal progress to attend t…
