…Public Enemy No.1 Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. In your last letter you mention "family pressure." Horrid word, family! Its very etymology accuses it of servility and stagnation. Latin, famulus, 'a servant'; Oscan, Faamat, 'he dwells'. Think what horrid images it evokes from the mind. Not only Victorian; wherever the family has been strong, it has always been an engine of tyranny. Weak members or weak neighbours: it is the mob spirit crushing genius, or overwhelming opposition by brute arithmetic. Of course, one m…

THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 119 Dx De Mysterio Eucharistico Universali (Of the Universal Eucharistick Mystery) Y Son, heed also this Word of thine Uncle William ONeill; Everything that lives is holy.

Learn well to apprehend this Mystery, for it is the Great Gate of the College of Understanding, whereby each and all…

…he moving of Thy Robes! Let us alone! What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? Go! Go! If I keep silence—Or if I speak each word is anguish without hope. And I heard the Aethyr cry aloud “Return! Return! Return! For the work is ended; and the Book is shut; and let the glory be to God the Blessed for ever in the Aeons, Amen.” Thus far is the voice of TEX and no more.

…he beginning of the ceremony was the Scribe overshadowed, and he spoke as it were in spite of himself, remembering afterwards scarcely a word of his speeches, some of which were long and seemingly eloquent. All the time he had a sense of being protected from Choronzon, and this sense of security prevented his knowing fear. Several times did the Scribe threaten to put a curse upon the demon; but ever, before he uttered the words of the curse, did the demon obey him. For himself, he knoweth not the words of the curse. Also is it meet to record in…

…l we be for ever with the Lord." The stupid interpretation of this verse as prophetic of a " second advent " need not concern us ; every word of it is, however, worthy of profound consideration. "The Lord " is Adonai —which is the Hebrew for " my Lord"; and He descends from heaven, the supernal Eden, the Sahasrara Cakkra in man, with a "shout," a "voice," and a "trump," again airy symbols, for it is air that carries sound. These sounds refer to those heard by the Adept at the moment of rapture. ' Compare the first set of verses in Liber XVI. (X…

But I pledge my word to the literal truth of all I have said, and there are plenty of witnesses alive to confirm me, or to refute me. I have given throughout the actual names, addresses and other details.

…form. Occasion- ally a mantra may be “given,” i.e., heard in some unexplained manner during a meditation. One man, for example, used the words: “And strive to see in everything the will of God; ” to another, while engaged ’ apparently referring to the action of the inhibitory centres which he was using. By in killing thoughts, came the words “and push it down,’ keeping on with this he got his “ result.” The ideal mantra should be rhythmical, one might even say musical; but there should be sufficient emphasis on some syllable to assist the facult…

…alf - step in “ shuddering ” in place of dis cordantly jarring on the metre produces a keener sense of agony in the reader's mind than a word which scanned correctly would do . In the next passage , taken from “ Tannhäuser , ” we find the introduction of a spondee carrying with it a curious sensation of slowness : Chaos , a speck ; and space , a span ; Ruinous cycles fallen in, And Darkness on the Deep of Time . Murmurous voices call and climb ; Faces , half - formed , arise ; and He Looked from the shadow of His throne , The curtain of Eternit…

Without this Light the Magician could not work at all; yet few indeed are the Magicians that have known of it, and far fewer They that have beheld its bril- liance! The Temple and all that is in it must be destroyed again and again before it is worthy to receive that Light. Hence it so often seems that the only advice that any master can give to any pupil is to destroy the Temple. Whatever yoi/ have and whate^^er you are are veils bef…

…modern sta tesmanship . Firstly (dearly beloved brethren) meanness is flat contradiction to the Teaching of The Book of the Law. For The word of Sin is Restriction , and meanness is plainly a most flagrant case of Restriction. Also, there is nearly always an element of Fear in meanness; at least, I would like to bet that 95 percent of mean people originally became so because they foresaw a friendless and penniless old age. And fear is particularly forbidden in the Book: III: 16: "fear not to undergo the curses." Waxing in wrath , III: 17 goes o…

Nay : but the hateful death that stings the soul Into rebellion ; the insensate death That chokes its own delight with words that roll Mightier-mouthed than the archangels breath ; The death that murders courage ere it drink The souls own life-blood on the desperate brink !

…pness; the muscles are not to be strained; and yet they are not allowed to be altogether slack. It is difficult to find a good descriptive word. Braced is perhaps the best. A sense of physical alertness is desirable. Think of the tiger about to spring, or of the oarsman waiting for the gun. After a little there will be cramp and fatigue. The student must now set his teeth, and go through with it. The minor sensations of itching, etc., will be found to pass away, if they are resolutely neglected, but the cramp and fatigue may be expected to increa…
