The Equinox (Volume I, Number X)

…g God. God is God, and man is the prophet of God, when he causes us to believe in God. The Old Testament, the Qur'an, and the Gospel are three different translations of the same book. As God is one, so also is the law. O ideal woman! O reward of the elect! Art thou more beautiful than Mary? O Mary, daughter of the East! chaste as pure love, great as the desire of motherhood, come and teach the children of Islam the mysteries of Paradise, and the secrets of beauty! Invite them to the festival of the new alliance! There, upon three thrones glitte…

… it is casier to couvert live substances into the body and blood of God, than to perform this miracle upon dead matter. The Eucharist of three éléments has for basis the symbols of the three Gunas. For Tamas (darkness) take opium or nightshade or some sleepy medicine ; for Rajas (activity) take strychnine or ocher excitant; for Sattvas (calm) the cakes of Light may again be suitable. 1 The Eucharist of jour éléments consists of fire, air, water, and earth. These are represented by a flame for fire, by incense or roses for air, by wine for water…

Snowdrops from a Curate’s Garden

Celia I When Celia frigs my fat J.T., Her mouth is luscious as a pig’s : I come three times in minutes three When Celia frigs. But when she fucks, what randy jigs She dances on my stiff pee-wee ! I leave plain buggery to prigs ! Her twat is deeper than the sea ; Her ulcers are like rotten figs ; — It is a holy time for me When Celia frigs. II When Celia spends I send a card Inviting all my oldest friends To tea, if they can get a hard When Celia spends. It should be easy to make ends Meet, O good comrades of the bard ! Her twat gapes wide : wha…

…otice is an amber-coloured dress in Swan and Edgar's; amber also is the colour of Cancer in the King's Scale. Now then you have a set of three impressions which is joined together by the fact that they all belong to the Cancer class; experience will soon teach that you can remember all three very much more clearly and accurately than you could anyone of the three singly. You have not increased the burden on your memory , but diminished it. 141

But the triangle aspires To that same unity that you despise, And lo ! the Pyramid ! The Sages say : Unite that to the Sphinx, and all is done, Completion of the Magnum Opus. Tannhauser. No!

…out beyond. where eye might reach, : A grey and shapeless place, a hopeless land ! Yet in that vast, that weary sad expanse The Earl saw three strange objects on the strand , | His keen eye noted at the firstborn glance, And recognised as pointers for his soul ; So that his soul was fervid in the dance, Knowing itself one step more near the goal, Should he but make the perfect choice of these. Farthest, loose tethered, at a stake’s control, A shallop rocked before the sullen breeze. Midway, a hermit’s hut stood solitary, A dim light set therein…

…e is also to Jupiter and Leo, which seems to imply a benediction on the harmony and beauty of this arrangement. It Will be seen that the Three Wands of the Three Adepts are now orderly arranged; and the flames themselves, instead of shooting out in all directions, burn steadily as in lamps. They are nine in number, in reference to Yesod and the Moon. This shows the stabilization of the Energy, and its reception and reflection by the Femi‐ nine. There is no circle to enclose the system. It is self‐supporting, like the Sun.

These three stars will explain it sufficiently. They may be compared with that which we have caused to be drawn at the head of our “ History of Magic.” By reuniting the four, one may arrive at the understanding of the Great Arcanum of Arcana. 287

… the brain. In fact you will probably find that the Whole of your will-power is not equal to keeping to a sub- ject at all for so long as three minutes, or even apparently con— centrating on it for so long as three seconds, or three-fifths of one second. By “keeping to it at all” is meant the mere attempt to keep to it. The mind becomes so fatigued, and the object so incredibly loathsome, that it is useless to continue for the time being. In Frater R’s record we find that after daily practice for six months, meditations of four minutes and less ar…
