The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX 56. And Adonai said: The strong brown reaper swept his swathe and rejoiced. The wise man counted his mus- cles, and pondered, and understood not, and was sad. Reap thou, and rejoice! 57. Then was the Adept glad, and lifted his arm. Lo! an earthquake, and plague, and terror on the earth! A casting down of them that sate in high places; a fam- ine upon the multitude! 58. And the grape fell ripe and rich into his mouth. 59. Stained is the purple of thy mouth, O brilliant one, with the white glory of the lips of Adonai. 60. The foam of …

The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE EQUINOX ‘You are nearer the world than I, and its weak vanity has stained you. The eye looks at the world, and the world looks at the eye, and though each learns from the other, it is not often an even bargain and exchange. . . .” Then, as the heart-worm ceased to speak, the other two, the eye-worm and the mouth-worm, drew closer to where during all his talking they had been magnetically moved. And all those years which they had passed unconsciously as the lips or the eyes of a woman became suddenly revealed, most vividly different to them.…

The Vision and the Voice

THE EQUINOX the Rivers have rushed together and the Name mn? is broken in a thousand pieces (against the Cubic Stone). Tremble ye, O Pillars of the Universe, for Eternity is in travail of a Terrible Child; she shall bring forth an universe of Darkness, whence shall leap forth a spark that shall put his father to flight. The Obelisks are broken; the stars have rushed together: the Light hath plunged into the Abyss: the Heavens are mixed with Hell. My Father shall not hear their Noise: His ears are closed: His eyes are covered with the clouds of …

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX Because the priest is risen from the sod, Because he bears the mantle of a god. The hour has struck at last ; henceforth the Way Is sundered from the sunlight and the day. No one shall heed my singing; there shall be —How well I know !—no seer that shall see. And none shall know the secret thing I write With speeding pen in the dim candle-light. Because my Rose is mine, no man shall find Wherefore I know, that was erewhile so blind; Nor wherefore, by the light of one dim star, I see thee here, Lady of the Rose, Istar. XXI THE POET S…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX always born from the hypertrophy or atrophy of the nervous system. They resemble hysteria, which is one of their varieties, and are often produced, either by excesses of celibacy, or those of exactly the opposite kind. One knows how closely connected with the brain are the organs charged by Nature with the accomplishment of her noblest work: those whose object is the reproduction of being. One does not violate with impunity the sanctuary of Nature. Without risking his own life, no one lifts the veil of the great Isis. Nature is chas…
