The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

THE EQUINOX There is one local story which stands out from the rest, in that it contains a song by the animal : A band of North Uist men slaughtered a number of seals on the Heisker rocks, and brought them to the main island, They were spread out in a row on the strand. One of the party was left in charge of them over night. To vary the monotony of his vigil he wandered a little distance away from the row of dead seals. When sitting under the shelter of a rock he beheld coming from the sea a woman of surpassing beauty, with her rich yellow tres…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number II)

THE EQUINOX (One may explain, as with Samadhi, that the man is not “in” Nibbana; the Characteristics are not “in” Nibbana: but—Nibbana is.) It would be easy to string up a paradox-scheme in which Change, not-Change, both-Change-and-not-Change, and neither-Change-nor-not-Change were all four perceived at once; and indeed some authors have done something very like this; but, between you and me, I don’t believe they knew anything about it; and as I certainly don’t know anything myself, if it’s all the same to you, I’d rather leave the subject alon…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX The grave of desolation ; I am weary Of all things: let me dream my life away. The breast of Fate is pregnant with Despair, Got on her by the piercing shaft of Time. Oh! Unborn child of Fate and Time, I am weary Of them that gave thee birth. Shall I love thee? O darling! Wilt thou come to me in the silence, Saying: “I bear the mystery of Time, And the secret of Fate?” I know not yet, but surely Thou shalt know of the Rose, the Rose, the Rose o’ the World! With thee shall I bear the chalice of blood-tipped lilies, The chalice of red,…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX “The least perfect act of love is worth more than the best act of piety.” “Judge not ; speak hardly at all ; love and act.” Another prophet came and said: “ Protest against bad doctrines by good works, but do not separate yourselves. “ Rebuild all the altars, purify all the temples, and hold yourselves in readiness for the visit of the Spirit. “Let every one pray in his own fashion, and hold com- munion with his own ; but do not condemn others. “A religious practice is never contemptible, for it is the sign of a great and holy thoug…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE Swami has an excellent method on these lines: it is given, in an improved form, in LIBER HHH. [See Tur Equinox LV. 5.] 42. Before that path is entered, thou must destroy thy lunar body, cleanse thy mind body, and make clean thy heart. The Lunar body is Nephesh, and the Mind body Ruach.: The heart is Tiphareth, the centre of Ruach. 43. Eternal life’s pure waters, clear and crystal, with the monsoon tempest’s muddy torrents cannot mingle. We are now again on the subject of suppressing thought. The pure water is the stille…

The Law is for All

…ugh with fire and sword it be burnt down & shattered, yet an invisible house there standeth, and shall stand until the fall of the Great Equinox; when Hrumachis shall arise and the double-wanded one assume my throne and place. Another prophet shall arise, and bring fresh fever from the skies; another woman shall awake the lust Sc worship of the Snake; another soul of God and beast shall mingle in the globed priest; another sacrifice shall stain the tomb; another king shall reign; and blessing no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed mystical Lord…

A case of the Closure followed by the Moving of the Previous Question. Oh Lord! when wilt Thou carry a Motion to Adjourn, nay, to Prorogue, nay! to Dissolve this Parliament? I am not sleepy; yet will I again compose myself, devoting myself to Adonai. Again woke and continued mantra. I ought to have made more of it at 7.7; I went off again to sleep ; the result is that I am rather difficult to wake again. Ho…

Ι 2.43. 1.25. 76 THE EQUINOX Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is only to be performed when the Magus has rowed himself completely out; in the language of the Tarot, when the Magus has become the Fool. But for my faith in the Ritual DCLXXI. I should be at the end of my spells. Well? We shall see in the upshot. I really almost begin to believe IT will happen. For I lay down quite free of worry or anxiety (hugging myself, as it were), perfectly sure of Him in the simple non-assertive way that a child is sure of its mother, in …

THE EQUINOX I am come forth from the Gates of the Glory; Around me are breaking the waters of the Primal Sea: My path is in the Deep Waters, And my footsteps are in the Unknown. Vast before me is the Portal of Geburah : Behind it is gleaming the Fire of the Wrath of God: I cry against Thee in the name of Elohim Gibor: Open unto me, Gateway of God the Mighty! Lift up your heads, O ye Gates, &c. Iam come forth from the Path of the Waters: I stand in the World of the Power of God: I turn my face to the Right, and the Gate of the Lion is before me—…

THE EQUINOX which will teach him how to control his mind. Little by little, as the body comes under control, does the mind assert its sway over the body; and little by little, as the mind asserts its sway, does it come gradually, little by little under the rule of the Atman, until ultimately the Atman, Augoeides, Higher Self or Adonai fills the Space which was once occupied solely by the body and mind of the aspirant. Therefore through the death of the body as it were is the resurrection of the Higher Self accomplished, and the pinnacles of tha…

THE EQUINOX love: he leaves to God the secrets of justice, and understands only charity. He looks on the wicked as invalids whom one must pity and cure ; the world, with its errors and vices, is to him God’s hospital, and he wishes to serve in it. He does not think that he is better than any one else ; he says only, ‘So long as I am in good health, let me serve others; and whenI must fall and die, perhaps others will take my place and serve.” IX THE NUMBER NINE Tuis is the hermit of the Tarot; the number which refers to initiates and to prophet…
