…sted on the others: they are null. Here then let me make open confession, and say thus: though I pledged myself almost in boyhood to the Great Work, though to my aid came the most puissant forces in the whole Universe to hold me to it, though habit itself now constraineth me in the right direction, yet I have not fulfilled my Will: I turn aside daily from the appointed task. I waver. I falter. I lag. Let this then be of great comfort to you all, that if I be so imperfect—and for very shame I have not emphasized that imperfection—if I, the chose…

…t was the actual mess caused by emis- sion, and the necessity of cleaning it up, that, by allowing time for passion to cool, prevented a great deal of copulation which would otherwise take place. There is a great gulf fixed between the ‘ short time ’ and the ‘ all night ’, and that great gulf is filled with Condy’s Fluid ! This applies equally to Sodomy. If the semen is safely bestowed in mouth or anus of the beloved one, the temptation is to begin all over again ; bar the trifle of fatigue, one is in the same position as at first ; its loss be…

THE EQUINOX “ From where I had been standing I was led to the Northern entrance, where crowded a great concourse of people, and as I approached them they gave way before me. Then a voice whispered to me ‘Smite’; thereupon, drawing my sword with fury I smote three times, upon which a great wailing arose. “Having smitten down many with those three blows, I descended among them, but left my sword behind me. Thinking I had forgotten it, in vain I tried to return, and in my strivings was of a sudden armed with many potent lightnings; then at my feet…

Base and blind Our minion mind Seeks a great light, a light sufficient, light Insufferably bright, So hidden for an hour: imagining This vast vain thing, We call it God, and Father. Empty hand And prayer unplanned Stretch fatuous to the void. Ah! men my friends, What fury sends This folly to intoxicate your hearts? Dread air disparts Your vital ways from these unsavoury follies, Black melancholies Sit straddled on your bended backs. The throne Of the unkno…

First let the talented practitioner introduce into his own body, according to the proper me- thods, the germ-cells from the female organ of gen- eration, by suction up through the tube of the meatus urinarius ; restraining in his own semen, let him practise copulation.

THE EQUINOX morously pretended that this Book is an ancient Tibetan writing.—Eb.] 19. Saith the Great Law: “In order to become the knower of ALL-SELF, thou hast first of SELF to be the knower.” To reach the knowledge of that SELF, thou hast to give up Self to Non-Self, Being to Non-Being, and then thou canst repose between the wings of the GREAT BIRD. Aye, sweet is rest between the wings of that which is not born, nor dies, but is the AUM throughout eternal Ages. The words “give up” may be explained as “yield” in its subtler or quasi-masochisti…

THE EQUINOX this dying dawn to the mystic land where stood the Great Tree upon the topmost branches of which hung the Golden Fleece. Long was he destined to travel, past Lemnos and Samo- thrace, and through Colchis and the city of Aiea. There, as a second Jason, in the Temple of Hecate, in the grove of Diana, under the cold rays of the Moon, was he to seal that fearful pact, that pledge of fidelity to Medea, Mistress of Enchant- ments. There was he to tame the two Bulls, whose feet were of brass, whose horns were as crescent moons in the night,…

XL Sir PALAMEDE the Saracen Hath seen the All; his mind is set To pass beyond that great Amen. Far hath he wandered; still to fret His soul against that Soul. He breaches The rhododendron forest-net, His body bloody with its leeches. Sternly he travelleth the crest Of a great mountain, far that reaches Toward the King-snows; the rains molest The knight, white wastes updriven of wind In sheets, in torrents, fiend-possessed, Up from the steaming plains of Ind. They cut his flesh, they chill his bones : Yet he feels naught; his mind is pinned To t…
