…mendations will develop skill in him or her that practiseth, so that new ideas and plans will be evolved continually. Furthermore, it is right that each and every one bind him- self with an Oath Magical that he may thus make Freedom 180
At Telepylus 325 no right but to do thy will.’ That is why the old hierophants shut up the candidate in silence and darkness. He had the choice between going mad or knowing himself. And when he was brought out into light and life, restored to love and liberty, he was in very truth a Neophyte, a man new-born. Big Lion puts us through it without our knowing what he’s doing. Though I’ve been through it myself, I didn’t know in this clear way what had really happened until I tried to explain it to you.” The sense of being enchanted came over me aga…
…t care so much for the 'Misadventures of a pat of butter' Sonata. But the Tschaikowsky symphony was best: that was Atmosphere; it put me right back among the old familiar scenes; I thought I was somewhere on the South-Eastern Railway waiting for a train." Lisa flamed indignation. "She's the most wonderful dancer in the world." "Yes, she is that," said her lover, with affected heavy sadness. "Wonderful! My father used to say, too, that she used even to dance well when she was forty." The nostrils of la Giuffria dilated. She understood that it wa…
…r any one else, can ever have been in such a silly muddle. It seems so perfectly natural that everything should be just as it is, and so right, that one is quite startled if one contemplates the nature of one’s Star, which led one into these “grave paths.” The only “wrong” is the thinking about anything at all; this is of course the old “Thought is evil” on a higher plane. One gets to un- derstand the Upanishad which tells us how The Original It made the error of contemplating itself, of becoming self- conscious; and one also perceives the stup…
…e course of reasoning was entirely at fault! I had NOT monkeyed with the weapon and the hammer HAD been down on the empty chamber as was right. What had happened was that the first cartridge had failed to explode; for there was the dent in the cap; once again had nature, simple and sufficient, mocked the pomposity of the human intelligence! Now, concluded I, hadn't I better go to the police and have these ruffians rounded up? Thornton was half asleep, but his mocking eye expressed a more than godlike pity for my idiocy. "Go to bed," he murmured…

… do believe in one most holy brotherhood Ofjust men that revere heaven’s ordinance of good. I do believe one place, one pontiff, and one right, One symbol of one God, in one intent unite. I do believe that death by changing us renews, And that in man as God life sheds immortal dews. XIII THE NUMBER THIRTEEN THIRTEEN is the number of death and of birth; it is that of property and of inheritance, of society and of family, of war and of treaties. 46

…st Scarlet Woman. The Egyptian Gods are usually represented as bearing an ankh, or sandal-strap, in the left hand, the wand being in the right. This ankh signifies the power to go, characteristic of a god.
…mpression than a vision of a man that hung upon a gibbet by one heel. This, said the fair man, is a most notable sign that we travel the right road. Now by the light 01 the triangle I perceived another wonder; {or my friend was not swimming as I was in the stream, but was borne by a boat, frail indeed, yet sufficient. Within this shallop or cockleshell he pulled me, and set me at the bench. Then (still by the light of the triangle) I saw a dark man at the thwart, rowing a strong stroke. We pulled on almost in silence; for when I asked of the fai…

…y on to a scrap of paper. He twisted it up, and put it in my hand. “Don’t be surprised,” he laughed, “‘ your face tells me that it’s all right. You hadn’t got that look of a dying duck in a thunderstorm which shows that you're wholly enslaved. As Sir Peter very cleverly pointed out the other day, you can’t stop unless you've got something to stop with. You're keeping your magical diary, of course.”’ “Oh, yes,” I cried gladly, I knew how important he thought the record was.
…ermit and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The word of Sin is restriction. Thou hast no right but do thy will. Do that and no other shall say nay. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. There are four gates to one palace : the floor of that palace is of silver and gold ; lapis lazuli and jasper are there ; and all rare scents ; jasmine and rose, and the emblems of death. Let him enter in turn or at once the four gates ; let him stand on the …
…n be tinkered : of course , sooner or later they have to go. Is it worth the trouble and expense? The Socialists would have them all out right away, and replaced by a set of "dentures ," which (obviously) are perfect. Arrange them, change them, choose your own pattern ; no trouble , no pain: all one's dream come true! But hardly biological. You may argue that convicts are examples of living individuals whose safety, shelter , nourishment and the rest are organized with the utmost care; but accidents will happen in the best-regulated "brown ston…
… corpse, and icier; the whole of my life concentrated in two spots; the small section of my brain which was occupied in the work, and my right wrist and fingers. I remember with absolute clearness that my consciousness appeared to start form a perfectly dead forearm. The book is written in prose, yet there is a formal circumscription more imminent than anything which would have been possible in poetry. I limited myself by making a point of dealing thoroughly with a given subject in a single page. It was an acute agony, similar to that of Asana,…

That such qualities can flourish in an extended commu- nity may surprise so eminent and so profound a student of humanity as yourself; yet examples abound of practices the most unnatural and repugnant to mankind which have con- tinued through centuries. I need not remind you of Jaga- nath and of the priests of Attis, for extreme cases. A fortiori, then, it mu…
…II and you've got it! But there is another point at issue. This incidentally, is where the "automatic safeguards" come in. "Thou hast no right but to do thy will" (AL, I: 42) means that to "go awhoring after strange" purposes can only be disastrous. It is possible, in chemistry, to provoke an endothermic reaction; but that is only asking for trouble . The product bears within its own heart the seed of dissolution. Accordingly, the most important preliminary to any Magical operation is to make sure that its object is not only harmonious with, bu…
