…if thy heart Be fervent with one hope, thy brain with art, Thy lips with song, thine arm with strength to smite : Achieve some act ; its name shall not depart. Christ laid Love’s corner-stone, and Cæsar built The tower of glory ; Sappho’s life was spilt From fervent lips the torch of song to ignite : Thou mayst add yet a stone—if but thou wilt. And yet the days stream by ; night shakes the day From his pale throne of purple, to allay The tremors of the earth ; day smiteth dark With the swift poignard dipped in Helios ray. The days stream by ; w…

The Magician may consider what names he will use; but each name should in some way symbolise this Work in its method and accomplishment. It is impos- sible here to enter into this subject fully; the discovery or construction of suitable names might occupy the most learned Qabalist for many years. These nine lamps were originally candles made of human fat, the fat of enem…

It was Karl Kellner who revived the exoteric organiza- tion of the O.T.O. and initiated the plan now happily com- plete of bringing all occult bodies again under one gov- ernance. The letters O.T.O. represent the words Ordo Templi Orientis (Order of the Temple of the Orient, or Oriental Templars), but they have also a secret meaning for initiates. 3. The Order is international, and has existing branches in every civilized c…

His name was Alphonse Louis Constant, and he was an Abbé of the Roman Church. For his “nom‐de‐guerre” he translated his name into Hebrew—Eliphas Levi Zahed, and he is very generally known as Eliphas Levi. Eliphas Levi was a philosopher and an artist, besides being a supreme literary stylist and a practical joker of the variety called “Pince sans rire”; and, being an artist and a profound symbolist, he was immensel…

Nature is her name, and she hath a twin sister Nephthys, whose name is Perfection. And Isis must be known of all, but of how few is Nephthys known! Because she is dark, therefore is she feared. But thou who hast adored her without fear, who hast made thy life an initiation into her Mystery, thou that hast neither mother nor father, nor sister nor brother, nor wife nor child, who hast made thy self lonely as the hermit crab …
