Orpheus

…, Titanic, Unto the words fresh flowers that distil Uttermost fragrance in the mind and will, The unsuspected blossom! Whatis the change—new birth of spring-time kisses Alonein all these water-wildernesses ? What change? what loveliness ! Comes this to all? I heard my sisters crying No tale like this—O! were I only lying Asleep amid the ferns, my soul would weep Over and over in its endless sleep; ‘Yes, love!” and “yes!” and “yes!” So by some spell divinely drawn She came to me across the dawn, With open arms to me; and sobbed “Yes, love!” and …

The Book of Thoth

…ind the figures of the Beast and his Bride are ten luminous rayed circles; they are the Sephiroth latent and not yet in order, for every new Aeon demands a new system of classi‐ fication of the Universe. At the top of the card is shown an emblem of the new light, with ten horns of the Beast, which are serpents, sent forth in every direction to destroy and re‐create the world. Further study of this card may be made by close examination of Liber XV (Magick, pp. 345 sqq.).

Tale of Archais

…et, so terrible, So fair, her image in the brook might make A passionless old god his hunger slake By plunging in the waters, though he knew His drowning body drowned her image too. Yet she seemed gentle. Never thorn assailed The tender finger that would touch, nor failed The strong desire of Zeus, who wisely went, As was his wont, with amorous intent Among those pastures, and fresh fragrant lawns, And dewy wonder of new woods, where dawns A new flower every day, a perfect flower, Each queenlier than her sister, though the shower Of early dew b…

The Law is for All

Chapter II * Verse 5 91 reflect respectively Nuit and Hadit from the Ain and Kether. The process is to use each new item of knowledge to correct and increase one’s comprehension of the Subject of the Proposition. Thus arb should tell us: A is (not A, as we supposed, but) A. This facilitates the discovery a,r,c leading to a, is a2; and so on. In practice, everything that we learn about (e.g.) “horse” helps us to understand—to enjoy—the idea. The difference between the scholar and the schoolboy is that the former glows and exults when he is remin…

Magick Without Tears

…g K.P. (King's Parade to you , madam!) on my way back to the station with half an hour or so to kill, I thought I would pop in to Lunn's new shop there , and pass the time of day. He might have something to take my fancy. So I did. Needless to say, I didn't know the shopman from Adam, as he did not offer me a view of his identification mark. I asked after old friends ; we gossiped of old times and new; presently he observed, putting a hand under the counter: "I think this is yours sir." "How do you know who I am? I've never seen you before." "O…

…pids gleam and shiver, And calm rebuilds her empire by-and- by. For joy of this alliance all the earth Forgets her day of dearth, In her new birth forgets, and maddens into mirth, The stars swing censers of pale gold to God, Whose incense is the love-song of the free; Angels with mercy and with beauty shod Move in the mazes of an Eden, trod Not by the seemly spirits of the sea, But by brave men built wholly of desire And freedom’s mystic fire, To clothe its habitants with glorious attire. Clasp hands, O fair republic of the west, And leave the …

… seduce the boys of England, and the oldsters may totter unconverted to their graves. Then these boys, becoming men, may bring about the new heaven and the new earth. You are not a Crowleian till you can say fervently “ Yes, thank God, I am an atheist.” For the ’ transvaluation of all values ’ must yet again take place, when those are all dead and damned who have forced us into the painful position we now occupy. The “ man-eating beasts because of whom we dare not love thee ”, once gone, we can revive the true cultus of the Logos ; the chastity…

Diary of a Drug Fiend

… has its limitations. When mathemati- cians and men of science want to exchange thoughts, English isn’t much good. They've had to invent new words, new symbols. Look at Einstein’s equations. I knew a man once that knew James Hinton, who invented the fourth dimension. Pretty bright chap, he was, but Hinton thought, on the most ordinary subjects, at least six times as fast as he did, and when it came to Hinton’s explaining himself, he simply couldn’t do it. That’s the great trouble when a new thinker comes along. They all moan that they can’t und…
