…suggested to me the following poem. [We omit this poem.—BD.] 11.30. Done! i’ th‘ rough! i’ th’ rough! Now let me go back to my room, and Work! (11.47.) Home—undressed—robed —attended to toilet-cut cross of Blood once more to affirm mastery of Body— sat down at 11.49 and ended the day with 10 Prana- yamas, which caused me to perspire freely, but were not altogether easy or satisfactory. 16

O my son, ask not to what End! As it is written in The Book of the Heart Girt with the Serpent, concerning the Boy and the Swan: is there not Joy ineffable in this aimless Winging? o
…me that robbeth them that are ignorant concerning him, how he is but Mirage and Illusion, incapable to besiege the Fortress of the Soul. Work thou thy Will, as I said aforetime by the Mouth of Eliphas Levi Zahed, knowing thyself Omnipotent, and thine Habitation Eternity.

…OX Thus, then, to those who ask us, ‘What is the most important agent of miracles?” we shall reply— “It is the first matter of the Great Work. “It is MAGNETIZED ELECTRICITY.” Everything has been created by light. It is in light that form is preserved. It is by light that form reproduces itself. The vibrations of light are the principle of universal movement. By light, the suns are attached to each other, and they interlace their rays like chains of electricity. Men and things are magnetized by light like the suns, and, by means of electro-magne…

…o learn how to apply the knowledge and power that you have gained to the execution of your True Will, to the accomplishment of the Great Work. Obviously, much must be left to your own common-sense ; the one technical point on which I insist above all others is the Magical Link. You must lay to heart Magick, Chapter XIV (pp. 106-122) and never forget one detail. More failure comes from neglect of this than from all other causes put together. Most of the qualities that you need are inborn; all the material is to your hand ; and to develop them is…

Accompanied by many heroes, he comes to the place of the Fleece, but they can do nothing until Medea, the Scarlet Woman, puts into his hands a pos- set ‘drugged with somnolence, Sleepy with poppy and white hellebore’ for the dragon.
