…at Delirium the Weal of the Whole Universe appeareth of no Account. Do thou wean thy Babes from that Simplicity, and instil the Sense of true Proportion. For verily this is a Way of Madness, Love, unless it be under Will. And the Cure of his Madness is not so good as its Prevention, so that thou shouldst be beforehand with these Children, shewing them the right Importance of Love, how it should be a sacred Rite, exalted above Personality, and a Fire to enlighten and serve Man, not to devour him. i

So closely interwoven in spirit are the true lyrics with the remainder of his amatory poetry , that it would be dangerous to attempt to separate them , and such an attempt would almost certainly lead to repetition or a breaking of the chain of psychosexual sensations , dimming that lustre which thrills through these mag nificent verses , from the chaste kiss of a mother to the Phaedrian embrace of a Sadistic sow .

Your toothache does not hurt any one outside a very small circle. Floods in China mean to you nothing but a paragraph in the news- paper. The destruction of the world itself would have no significance in Sirius. One can hardly imagine even that the astronomers of Sirius could perceive so trifling a disturbance. Now considering that Sirius itself is only, as far as you know, but o…

They have, it is true, a tinge of magical technique, and they have been devised to serve a dogmatic end. That was, however, necessary, and it was good magic too, at that, because the original will of the Founder was to produce a war engine as a counterblast to the Reformation. He was very wise to devise a plan, irrespective of its abstract merits as philosophy, which would most efficiently serve that single purpose. The only t…

…e of Paradise makes the surrounding gloom more visible and shameful. It is unfortunately the case that stories of this kind are only too true to life. Few of us, indeed, but have some experience of the classes in which such abomina- tions are not only possible but actual. It is true that the war has done a great deal to destroy the morality of the middle classes. From all hands comes the wail of the Puritan as he is forced into a recognition that life is a savage and beautiful thing, and that his attempt to make every one behave with the decoru…

As nice a fellow as you could find in three continents. And lost! lost! lost! Oh! when will men be free of all this superstition? groaned Denzil. Never, said the Scholar. Now, said the big man.

Eliphaz Levi was a master‐ scholar, and knew the true attributions; but his grade in the Great White Brotherhood was only 6°=5° (Adeptus Major); and he had no instructed foresight of the New Aeon. He did in‐ deed hope to find a Messiah in Napoleon III; but of the complete spiritual upheaval which ac‐ companies the Proclamation of a new Magical Formula he had no glimpse; no, not though he had Maistre Alcofribas Nasier to guide him!1 Dr. Gérard Encausse, “Papu…

…ough Christ’s ‘‘It is finished” were subjectively but the cry of his physical weakness, like Burton's ‘‘ I am a dead man,” it is no less true that millions have regarded it as indeed a cry of triumph. That is so, subjectively for them, but no more, and the one fact does not alter the other. Surely Our Fid. Def. will find little support in this claim on behalf of death. We all die; it was the Resurrection and Ascension which stamped Christ as God. Our Philosopher will, I think, fight shy of these events. The two thieves were ‘‘nailed up like ver…

…pe) stands on a stool, and swings her to and fro, catching her vulva from be- hind on his penis. This is continued until emis- sion. The true sportsman refrains from guiding ei- ther the lady or his penis with his hands. The length of the swing should not be less than 4 or 5 feet ; under these rules the game is excel- lent. With a boy it would however be incomparably more difficult, if not impossible. The text suggests though that the boy is fixed, while the man swings. This should be easier of execution.
