…that may not forget The wasted hours ! Ah, bitter interest Of our youths capital forgotten zest In all the pleasures of oerflowing life, Wine tasteless, tired the brain, and cold the breast ! Ah ! but if with it is one good deed wrought, One kind word spoken, one immortal thought Born in thee, all is paid : the weary strife Grows victory. Love is all and Death is nought ! Such an one wrote that work as I would meet, Lay my lifes burden at his silver feet, Have him give ear if I say Master. Yea ! I know no heaven, no honour, half so s…

It is disgusting to have to spend one’s life jetting dirt in the face of the British publicin the hope that in washing it they may wash off the acrid grease of their commercialism, the saline streaks of their hypocritical tears, the putrid perspi- ration of their morality, the dribbling slobber of their senti- mentality and their religion. And they don’t wash it!. . . But let us take a less unpleasing metaphor, the whip! As some schoolboy poet repea…

…th Magick. Philosophy is the enemy of Magick. Philosophy assures us that after all nothing matters, and that che sara sara. In practical life, and Magick is the most practical of the Arts of life, this difficulty does not occur. It is useless to argue with a man who is running to catch a train that he may be destined not to catch it; he just runs, and if he could spare breath would say " Blow destiny! " It has been said earlier that the real Magical Will must be toward the highest attainment, and this can never be until the flowering of the Mag…

…mixture of gases.' The Sword, necessary as it is to the Beginner, is but a crude weapon. ' The Oxygen in the air would be too fierce for life ; it must be largely diluted with the inert nitrogen. The rational mind supports life, but about seventy-nine per cent, of it not only refuses itself to enter into combination, but prevents the remaining twenty-one per cent, from doing so. Enthusiasms are checked; the intellect is the great enemy of devotion. One of the tasks of the Magician is to manage somehow to separate the Oxygen and Nitrogen in his …

…elation to all nature and to the living universe about him. He felt his "oneness" with earth, air, sea and stars; and in his fullness of Life he worshipped the Sun as a visible symbol of the Supreme, the Author of all Life, Heat and Energy. In our frivolous ego- centric way of living we have lost much of this essential realization. But that we may once more move toward the Awareness of Life and Beauty, what more appropriate than that we celebrate the Sun in song and ritual? Therefore, four times daily we perform "The Adorations" (Equinox I, VI.…

THE EQUINOX the love, remain undeniable. It is the first reversed triangle of the Tree of Life. What is said of “Samvritti” is nonsense. The Vrittis are impressions or the causes of impressions. Samvritti is sim- ply the sum of these. 45. Allis impermanent in man except the pure bright es- sence of Alaya. Man is its crystal ray; a beam of light immaculate within, a form of clay material upon the lower surface.

…, and “raise it from the dead”; and flies drowned in ice- water can be resuscitated. That it should be impossible to create high organic life is scientifically unthinkable, and the Master Therion believes it to be a matter of few years indeed before this is done in the laboratory. Already we restore the apparently drowned. Why not those dead from such causes as syncope? If we understood the ultimate physics and chemistry of the brief moment of death we could get hold of the force in some way, supply the missing element, reverse the electrical c…

… name, why had she left Lavinia King to explore these dreadful realms — of illusion? of imagination? of darker and deadlier reality than life? It mattered little which; the one thing needful was to turn again to humanity, to the simple sensible life that she had always lived. It was not noble, not wonderful; but it was better than this nightmare of phantoms, cruel and malignant and hideous, this phantasmagoria of damnation. She wrenched herself away; for a moment she lost consciousness completely; then she found herself in her bed at the Villa.…
