EDITORIAL WE shall be glad if all subscribers to, and readers of, THE Eguinox will make themselves personally known to the staff at the offices at 124, Victoria Street. Various meetings are held, lectures given, and experiments carried out, from time to time, which cannot be advertised effectively in a paper appearing at intervals of six months, and those wishing to attend must therefore be privately notified of the dates as they are fixed.

… slightly rouged, her hair floating in the wind with her bonnet strings. No, I am not a doctor, I am sure of it. Come home with me, you will be very pleased with me, I know. Doubtless I will come and see you, later on. Ah, ah, said she, still clinging to my arm and shaking with laughter, you are a doctor who is fond of his joke; I have known several like that; come along. I passionately love the mysterious, because I always hope to unravel it; so I let myself be carried off by this companion, or rather by this unhoped-for problem. I omi…

…WANDS This card refers to Chesed in the suit of Fire. Being below the Abyss, it is the Lord of all manifested active Power. The original Will of the Two has been transmitted through the Three, and is now built up into a solid system:—Order, Law, Government. It is also referred to Venus in Aries, which indicates that one cannot establish one’s work without tact and gentle‐ ness. The wands are headed by the Ram, sacred to Chesed, the Father‐god Amoun‐Ra, as also to Aries; but at the other end of the wands are the Doves of Venus. In the symbol, th…

…rthier instrument for his master's touch. The clever man, so-called, the man of talent, shuts out his genius by setting up his conscious will as a positive entity. The true man of genius deliberately subordinates himself, reduces himself to a negative, and allows his genius to play through him as It will. We all know how stupid we are when we try to do things. Seek to make any other muscle work as consistently as your heart does without your silly interference — you cannot keep it up for forty-eight hours. (I forget what the record is, but it's…

…incarnated,' as we may call it. There are three forces at work upon it; the soul itself, the heredity and the environment. A clever soul will therefore be careful to choose the embryo which seems most likely to be fairly free in the two latter respects. It will look for a healthy stock, for parents who will, and can, give the child every chance [106] in life. You must remember that every soul is, from our point of view, a 'genius,' for its world is so incalculably greater than ours that one spark of its knowledge is enough to kindle a new epoch…

…onstrated in every conscious and unconscious happening. This is that which is written in The Book of the LawLove is the law, love under willfor Love is the instinct to unite, and the act of uniting. But this cannot be done indiscriminately, it must be done 'under will,' that is, in accordance with the nature of the particular units concerned. Hydrogen has no love for Hydrogen; it is not the nature, or the 'true Will' of Hydrogen to seek to unite with a molecule of its own kind. Add Hydrogen to Hydrogen: nothing happens to its quality: it is o…

Greasy and thick palms denote sensual tastes and great force of physical life; a thumb which is long, especially in its last phalanx, reveals a strong will, which may go as far as despotism ; short thumbs, on the contrary, show characters gentle and easily controlled. The habitual folds of the hand determine its lines. These lines are, then, the traces of habits, and the patient observer will know how to…

… attain high status and renown for their reward; but not advancement in the Order, unless they exhibit a talent for government, and this will be exhibited far more by nobility of character, firm- ness and suavity, tact and dignity, high honour and good manners, those qualities (in short) which are, in the best minds, natural predicates of the word gentleman. The knowledge of this fact not only inspires confidence in the younger members, but induces them to emulate their seniors. In order to appreciate the actual working of the system, it is nec…

quarter of the city, which is, after all, Yama, and equally handy for the consul, the chaplain, and the doctor, readers of Rossetti will expect no ex- cuse ; for their sakes I may frankly admit that I was actuated by other motives than interest and solicitude for my companion, a youth still blindly groping for Romance, beneath the skirts of tawdry and painted Vice. Perhaps I may have hoped to save him from what men call the graver and angels the lesser consequences of his folly. This for the others. As to the character of the mansion at which w…

But in this Matter be prudent and be silent, discerning subtly and with acumen the nature of the Will within thee; so that thou mistake not Fear for Chastity, or Anger for Courage. And since the fetters are old and heavy, and thy Limbs withered and distorted by reason of their Compulsion, do thou, having broken them, walk gently for a little while, until the ancient Elasticity return, so that thou mayst …

Science will say that intelligence is last , and that matter slowly evolves into animal life ; in fact, that matter (A ) is first, and intelligence (B ) is second . The idealists and sankhyâs will put intelligence (B ) first , and the series will run B ,A , B ,A ,B ,A .
