… prove its Value to the Brute, or he distrusteth it and destroyeth it. Yet as thou knowest, that Variation which is fitted to the Environment is the salvation of the Species. Only among Men, his Fellows turn ever upon the Saviour, and rend him, until those who follow him in secret, and it may be unconsciously, prove their Virtue and his Wisdom by their Survival when his Persecutors perish in heir Folly. But we, being secure against all primary Enemies to the individual, or the common Weal, may, nay, we must, if we would attain the Summit for ou…
…“ Your boyhood was so badly taught. The riddle ’s simple—here ’s the key! There is none other God than He.” He conjures up the Universe, Men bitter bad, and women worse. The whole disgusting Pan is shown, Filth from the spirit to the stone. “ Read that l ” he yelled. “Your eyeballs squint, But That is surely plain as print.” “ It is,” I said, “ for all to see— There is none other God than He.” And now the Devil strides and spins Most furiously widdershins. He causes two deceitful moons To dance upon the driving dunes. “ If all ’s illusion, gent…
5 world of dogs, whereas in the history of mankind this happens with regularity and frequency. Now here are three “ super-men, ’ all at loggerheads. What is there in common between Christ, Buddha, and Mohammed? Is there any one point upon which all three are in accord? No point of doctrine, no point of ethics, no. theory of a “ hereafter” do they share, and yet in the history of their lives we find one identity amid many diversities. Buddha was born a Prince, and died a beggar. Mohammed was born a beggar, and died a Prince. Christ remained obscu…
…d to them in their absence? History will not help us to solve the problem, for history is silent. We have only the accounts given by the men themselves. It would be very remarkable should we find that these accounts agree. Of the great teachers we have mentioned Christ is silent; the other four tell us something; some more, some less. Buddha goes into details too elaborate to enter upon in this place; but the gist of it is that in one way or another he got hold of the secret force of the World and mastered it. Of St. Paul’s experiences, we have …
…he swift and glittering bride? The bride that clings as a snare with springs To the warrior’s stricken side? A shudder struck the hidden men As the maniac’s mouthings ceased. Then, kindling, rose a roar : ‘* Spread, spread the furtive feast | The wine of agony pour ! The fruit of valour pluck ! The meat of murder suck ! 1 The prostitutes of Japan live in a city by themselves, whenever they are sufficiently numerous to make this practicable. sweet are the songs of her throat ! Soft are the strokes of her fan! She hath love by rhyme and rote, She…
Freedom for him who doeth his will, and the one punishment is Restriction for him that goeth astray. Teach thou therefore this Law to all men: for in so far as they follow it, they cease to hinder thee by their false random motion; and thou dost well to thyself in doing well to them. And he most hindereth himself who hindereth others from their Path, or who constraineth them to some motion improper to their Nature. Note also this that many men, feeling themselves the bitterness of Restriction, seek to relieve their own pain by imposing a like b…
…cial Robes, let us consider the use of the Robe in general. The Robe is that which conceals, and which protects the Magician from the elements; it is the silence and secrecy with which he works, the hiding of himself in the occult life of Magick and Meditation. This is the "going away into the wilderness " which we find in the lives of all men of the highest types of greatness. And it is also the withdrawing of one's self from life as such. In another sense it is the " Aura " of the Magician, that invisible egg or sheath which surrounds him. Th…
… prostituted herself. Because society is guilty of theft. Because selfish joy is impious. Christ is judged, condemned, and executed; and men adore Him! This happened in a world perhaps as serious as our own. Judges of the world in which we live, pay attention, and think of Him who will judge your judgments! But, before dying, the Saviour bequeathed to His children the immortal sign of salvation, Communion. Communion! Common union! the final word of the Saviour of the world! “The Bread and the Wine shared among all,” said He, “this is my flesh a…

…HY JESUS WEPT. Of armed insistence against my restraint. What is worth while, though, to a woman found Fragrant and fearful to a host of men Even yet ? they throng me, hunt me ! Why should I Do this unutterable wickedness ? Because that Moina Marjoribanks grins and boasts She will achieve him ? Angela, not so ! For its own sweet, most damnable sake, say yes ! Look to those cheeks, redress the red-gold hair, Awake the giant wit, the master sin That is, for an apple’s sake, Lord of us all : These shall despoil her ; these shall ruin him. Yes, I s…
… that, ‘While there is one fair maiden that unaided By this may fail to have her will of art And me—God bless her for her loyal heart | ‘Men hunt the ermine for its fur; ‘tis said Life's pedlars all have treasure in their load ; ‘The toad has got a jewel in its head— O Christ of God | I wish you were a toad! A toad is cold and clammy, it is true; But you are hot and sticky, and smell too. VIIL ““T thought I was worth something!” Yes, you are; ‘Worth what the jeweller and the old-clothes-man ‘And the pork-butcher offer. Soul's a star, (And that …
…he azure Ionian deep! Ere ripens the sun, ere the spring-wind hardens Your fruits once again ye shall have me to keep. A The sleep-god laments, and the love goddess pardons, When love atthe last sinks unweary to sleep. The green-hearted hours shall burst into flowers. The winds shall waft roses from uttermost Ind. Our nuptial dowers shall be birds in our bowers, Our couches the delicate heaps of the wind, Where the lily-bloom showers all its light, and the powers Of earth in our twinning are wedded and twinned. So singing I make reverence and r…
…thor was an adept familiar with many systems of symbolism, and able to harmonise them for him- self, even as now is accomplished for all men in the Book 777. In the year 1899 he was graciously pleased to receive me as his pupil, and, living in his house, I studied daily under his guidance the Holy Qabalah. Upon his withdrawal— whether to enjoy his Earned Reward, or to perform the Work of the Brotherhood in other lands or planets matters nothing here—he bequeathed to me a beautiful Garden, the like of which hath rarely been seen upon Earth.

AMBERGRIS 129 FROM ORPHEUS Invocation of Hecate O triple form of darkness ! Sombre splendour ! Thou moon unseen of men ! Thou huntress dread ! Thou crownd demon of the crownless dead ! O breasts of blood, too bitter and too tender ! Unseen of gentle spring, Let me the offering Bring to thy shrines sepulchral glittering ! I slay the swart beast ! I bestow the gloom Under the waning moon, At midnight hardly lightening the East ; And the black lamb from the black ewes dead womb I bring, and stir the slow infernal tune Fit for thy chosen priest.…

…he and devour as coals, And God is wroth because of thee, to break The spirit of our pride, our lips to make Reverent toward thee, as of men ashamed. And now we pray thee for our children’s sake, And thine own pity’s sake, to come untamed, And furiously to ride against our foes, And be our leader, till one sanguine rose Spread from thy standard awful leaves of blood, And thy swords pour their long insatiate flood Through ranks of many dead, and then to close The wounds of all the land, and bid it bud
…ning smile, the laughter not forbidden And love enfolding the green-woven sphere : Lastly, the burning year of flame and fume That burns men up in fire’s sepulchral womb. Fivefold: the child, the frail, the delicate: Then the strong laughing mischief: then the proud Fight toward manhood and the sense elate, Creative power and passion : then the loud Assertion of young will, the quickening rate And strength in blood, in youth with life endowed, And firmness fastening; the last lustre’s span Consolidates and shows the perfect man. Fivefold : the …
