…hat the latter should impose his boy-mistress, imbecile from abuse, upon us for the Incarnation of the Logos—that is a thing for which I find no name. V.I.P.P.s, I have unveiled Medusa, and she has no glance to make me quail. Let us but set our heels once firmly upon the worm, let us rid ourselves once and for ever of the pestilence ! All those who will not do so stand self-confessed advocates and partisans of this blasphemous elaboration of sodomy. XXX

THE EQUINOX will be taught directly by the spirit of wisdom; but those who still need external advice and support will find this in the external organization of that society. In regard to the spiritual aspect of this secret order, one of the Brothers says— “Our community has existed ever since the first day of creation when the gods spoke the divine command: ‘Let there be light!’ and it will continue to exist till the end of time. It is the Society of the Children of Light, who live in the light and have attained immortality therein. In our sch…

…the Law of Thelema throughout the whole world. Direct therefore now most closely thine attention to the Book of the Law itself. In It we find an absolute rule of life, and clear instruction in every emergency that may befall. What then are Its own directions for the fructification of That Ineffable Seed? Note, pray thee, the confidence with which we may proceed. “They shall gather my children into 174

II., verse 24, and learn where to look for hermits. 55. A sense of pride would mar the work. Aye, build it strong, lest the fierce rush of battling waves, that mount and beat its shore from out the great World Maya’s Ocean, swallow up the pilgrim and the isle—yea, even when the victory’s achieved. We now perceive more clearly the meaning of this pas- sage. Just as t…

… own virtue, independent of hierarchy. There is an external hierarchy, of course, but that is only a matter of convenience. 66. Write, & find ecstasy in writing! Work, & be our bed in working! Thrill with the joy of life & death! Ah! thy death shall be lovely: whoso seeth it shall be glad. Thy death shall be the seal of the promise of our agelong love. Come! lift up thine heart & rejoice! We are one; we are none. Commentary: The first part of this text appears to be a digression in the nature of a prophecy. The word “Come!” is a summons to reen…

…sink , those rays that ruffled the vestal purity of the clouds to the rosy blush of a lover's kiss , and in the departing light we again find the mystic Trinity midst the hellebore and thistles of existence , en throned , eternal . The sun sinks , and the last notes of the nightingale die into the stillness of falling night . The emerald sky like the robe of some car - borne Astarté , slashed with an infinite orange and red , fades into the sombre garment of night ; and above silently

…hat Self-same Tree shall he hang himself, and others shall crucify him; so that in that Winter which draweth nigh, he who is to come may find yet another garment to cover the hideous nakedness of man, the Robe that hath no Seam. And those who shall receive, though they cast lots for it, yet shall they not rend it, for it is woven from the top throughout. For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, the rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom…

But nothing changes at all. Nothing but the empty throne, and the eyes, and the avenue of pillars!) And I said to him: O thou that art the first countenance before time; thou of whom it is written that ‘‘ He, God, is one; He is the eternal one, without equal, son or companion. Nothing shall stand before His face”; all we have heard of thine infinite glory and ho…

…I can’t believe that all that happened to me. Some of it came back slowly; curiously, the unimportant things came first. I was amazed to find that Mabel Black was dead. I wrote her a letter only yesterday. Poor old girl ! The part, too, about Dr. McCall. I could swear quite honestly that never happened. And yet it must have; for I found scraps of the dress in the cushions of the blue Chesterfield chewed to a pulp. ... October 27 We have been shooting again; but it was cold and damp. We were neither of us interested and we were too weary to walk…

…. But there is another aspect of "mother-love" which is urgent, practical, and in no way dependent upon ideal considerations. What do we find in practice as the immediate consequence of this 'sublime', this 'holy' instinct? Quite a few species of animals habitually devour their offspring; but women "know a trick worth two of that." Next witness: Dr. Doughty, who looked after the health of Trinity College, Cambridge. A swift routine examination: then he tilted his chair backwards, thrust his hands deep into his trousers pockets, fixed the patien…

…al Christians” are to-day; for (at present)I have been able to devise no mechanism for excluding them. Rather, perhaps, should I seek to find them a niche in the shrine, just as Hinduism provides alike for those capable of the Upanishads and those whose intelligence hardly reaches to the Tantras. In short, one must abandon the reality of religion for a sham, so that the religion may be universal enough for those few who are capable of its reality to nestle to its breast, and nurse their nature on its starry milk. But we anticipate! My message i…

…we want a thing, we howl if we discover that we can’t get it; and the moment we've got it the whole business drops out of sight. “You'll find it’s the same with your drugs. You've ‘practically hypnotised yourself into thinking you can’t do without them. It’s not a real need, as you know. It’s a false and perverse appetite ; and as soon as you get out of the way of thinking that it’s vitally impor- tant, you'll begin to forget how much you depend on it.” Well, of course, I could see the sense of that ; and I was glad to see how gay and light-hea…

When Hume states : “ he feels events to be con nected in his imagination ”; he is only reiterating the words of Philonous , when he says : “ I have a notion of Spirit , though I have not, strictly speaking , an idea of it .

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING abyss is the Eye of the Hawk. But upon the great sea shall the Master of the Temple find neither star nor moon. And I was about to answer him: “The light is within me.” But before I could frame the words, he answered me with the great word that is the Key of the Abyss. And he said: Thou hast entered the night; dost thou yet lust for day? Sorrow is my name, and affliction. I am girt about with tribulation. Here still hangs the Crucified One, and here the Mother weeps over the children that she hath not borne. Steri…
