…-room story ; only a deal better done. Nor is there any other eternal humour ; other kinds depend on the accidents of the age. You never find a single impure line in any of these au- thors, any gloating on impurity. The laughter is hearty, there is no schoolboy sniggering — no consciousness of guilt. (So even with Keats’ Gadfly and Sharing Eve’s Apple ; Browning’s bawdy jests in Pippa Passes, the Ring and the Book, One Word More, La Saisiaz and elsewhere ; cleaner, truly, than the furtive eroticism in Prometheus Unbound. Shelley was more consci…

74 And so we find once more that the Ego-idea must be ruthlessly rooted out before Understanding can be attained. There is an apparent contradiction between this attitude and that of the Master of the Temple. What can possibly be more selfish than this interpretation of everything as the dealing of God with the soul? But it is God who is all and not any part; and every "deaHng" must thus be an expansion of the soul, a destruction of its separateness. Every ray of the sun expands the flower. The surface of the water in the Magick Cup is infinite…

…ncy. At first sight it looks as if all I could do was to refer you to the official text book of that sublime and difficult art. You will find it in The Equinox, Vol. I, No.2. The first thing to remember about Geomancy is that although the various intelligences are attributed to the twelve signs of the Zodiac they all appertain to the element of earth. Anyone therefore who has got in his nativity an earthy sign rising, or the sun in an earthy sign, or a good proportion of planets in an earthy sign, is much more likely to find Geomancy attractive…

…orgotten from my mind, Like leaves that fall. They shall not come again ; the wintry pall Of consciousness clouds oer them ; they shall find No rest, no hope, no tear, no funeral. Into the night, despairing, bleeding, blind, They pass, nor know their former place at all, Lost to my soul, to God, to all mankind, Like leaves that fall.

14 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS correspondences given in the books of reference without thinking out why they are so given. Thus, you find a camel in the number which refers to the Moon, but the Tarot card "the Moon" refers not to the letter Gimel which means camel, but to the letter Qoph , and the sign Pisces which means fish, while the letter itself refers to the back of the head; and you also find fish has the meaning of the letter Nun. You must not go on from this. and say that the back of your head is like a camel-the connection between them is si…

…or this is passion , if not quite so pure as some we have already seen , yet still passion of an unlustful nature . In “ The Flight ” we find in the following lines a still deeper glow : The snow -bright weather Calls us beyond the grassy downs , to be Beside the sea , The slowly breathing Ocean of the south . Oh , make thy mouth A rosy flame like the most perfect star Whose kisses are So red and ripe ! Oh , let thy limbs entwine Like love with mine !? In the third act of “ The Argonauts ,” we find the love of Medea is no longer passion , but f…

…a, a Bodhisattva of the best; yea, further, we have a Master of the Temple-and is not his Motto Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici? and yet we find him fussing like an old hen over the most trivial of troubles ; we find him wrapped in the lacustrine vapours of Avernus, fretting himself into a fever about imaginary misfortunes at which no normal person would do more than cast a contemptuous glance, and get on with the job. Yes, although you can scarcely evade indictment for unnecessarily employing the language of hyperbole , I see what you mean. Yet t…

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES but I know now why you believe. I respect your hopes, and share your desires. But I must find by seeking; and in order to seek, I must doubt. REASON. Work, then, and seek, O Science, but respect the oracles of Faith! When your doubt leaves a gap in universal enlightenment, allow Faith to fill it! Walk distinguished the one from the other, but leaning the one upon the other, and you will never go astray.

…st ! Act II opens with two beautiful songs . Venus sings the praise of spring and summer , and Tannhäuser that of autumn and winter . He finds the latter chill season the best : But best is grim December , The Goatish God his power ; The Satyr blows the ember , And pain is passion's flower ; When blood drips over kisses , And madness sobs through wine : Ah mine ! The snake starts up and hisses And strikes and I am thine !3 In the above we still find the now almost dead echo of his higher self , yet Venus entices him on , compar ing their fierce…

…" (a very wicked place) there was a promenade, with bars complete (drinking bars, my dear child, I blush to say) where one might hope to find "strength and beauty met together, Kindle their image like a star in a sea of glassy weather." There one might always find London's "soiled doves" (as they revoltingly called them in the papers) of every type: Theodora (celebrated "Christian" Empress) and Phryne, Messalina and Thais, Baudelaire's swarthy mistress, Nana, Moll Flanders and Fanny Hill. But the enemies of life were on guard. They saw people n…

' We might expect to find this idea in “ Tannhäuser,” and do in the following verse : This were my guerdon : to fade utterly Into the rose heart of that sanguine vase , And lose my purpose in its silent sea , And lose my life , and find my life , and pass Up to the sea that is as molten glass .” One more quotation we will give from the song of Parthenope in “ The Argonauts ." O mortal , sad is love ! But my dominion Extends beyond…

…lancholic with delusions of persecution. What sublime and septuple ass calls this Strindberg’s autobiography? Strindberg was too lazy to find his incidents in other people’s lives; that is all. And yet we find the translator note at the end: “Strindberg never actually entered the Roman Church” !!! The book is a perfect clinical picture of a typical case. Chapter I describes the irritability, the fantastic dreams. He imagines himself a great author, a great chemist. He has found carbon in sulphur; he will make gold. In Chapter II he begins to se…

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HASHISH producing a standard drug, upon isolating the substance responsible for effect (), and so on, we might find a reliable and harmless adjuvant to the process which I have optimis- tically named Scientific Iluminism. But at least for the present we have not arrived so far. In my own case I should know fairly well what to do, well enough to get my little “loosening of the girders of the soul” at a guess twice in five times, perhaps more. Not surely enough to guarantee results to other people without a lengthy series of exp…
