THE EQUINOX already understand the possible abuses and predict the errors to which the Qabalah was obliged to give birth. The law of analogies, in fact, has been for qabalists of a secondary rank the object of a blind and fanatical faith. It is to this belief that one must attribute all the superstitions with which the adepts of occult science have been reproached. This is how they reasoned: The sign expresses the thing. The thing is the virtue of the sign. There is an analogical correspondence between the sign and the thing signified. The more…

THE EQUINOX the Vogay tree. It is the seed of freedom from rebirth. It isolates the Arhat both from strife and lust, it leads him through the fields of Being unto the peace and bliss known only in the land of Silence and Non-Being. The “midnight blossom” is a phrase connected with the doctrine of the Night of Pan, familiar to Masters of the Temple. “The Poppy that flowers in the dusk” is another name for it. A most secret Formula of Magick is connected with this “Heart of the Circle.” 54. Kill out desire; but if thou killest it, take heed lest …

Also I was given to enjoy the subtle Presence of my Lord interiorly during the whole of this twelfth day. Then Ι besought the Lord that He would take me into His presence eternally even now.

THE EQUINOX He spake: It is finished! My mother hath unveiled herself! My sister hath violated herself! The life of things hath disclosed its Mystery. The work of the Moon is done! Motion is ended for ever! Clipped are the eagle’s wings: but my Shoulders have not lost their strength. I heard a Great Voice from above crying: Thou liest! For the Volatile hath indeed fixed itself; but it hath arisen above thy sight. The World is desert: but the Abodes of the House of my Father are peopled; and His Throne is crusted over with white Brilliant Stars,…

THE EQUINOX The act of hope is prayer. Prayer is the flowering of the soul in eternal wisdom and in eternal love. It is the gaze of the spirit towards truth, and the sigh of the heart towards supreme beauty. It is the smile of the child upon its mother. It is the murmur of the lover, who reaches out towards the kisses of his mistress. It is the soft joy of a loving soul as it expands in an ocean of love. It is the sadness of the bride in the absence of the bridegroom. It is the sigh of the traveller who thinks of his fatherland. It is the thoug…

… Taoist can hope to understand this verse. (See “The Hermit of Esopus Island,” part of the Magical Record of 666, to be published in THE Equinox, Vol. III.) 50. Let thy Soul lend its ear to every cry of pain like as the lotus bares its heart to drink the morning sun. 51. Let not the fierce sun dry one tear of pain before thy- self hast wiped it from the sufferer’s eye. 52. But let each burning human tear drop on thy heart and there remain; nor ever brush it off, until the pain that caused it is removed. This is a counsel never to forget the ori…

THE EQUINOX the love, remain undeniable. It is the first reversed triangle of the Tree of Life. What is said of “Samvritti” is nonsense. The Vrittis are impressions or the causes of impressions. Samvritti is sim- ply the sum of these. 45. Allis impermanent in man except the pure bright es- sence of Alaya. Man is its crystal ray; a beam of light immaculate within, a form of clay material upon the lower surface. That beam is thy life-guide and thy true Self, the Watcher and the silent Thinker, the victim of thy lower Self. Thy Soul cannot be hurt…

THE EQUINOX knights and join the Saracen army? That were only to change the balance, to change the cross, soaked in the blood of humanity, for the crescent, pale flame of madness. Oh could I destroy both! . . . Forty years ago I strove to reconcile them by love, by sympathy. What came of it? A frolic crime, sterile as all my thoughts are. Nothing, nothing has ever come of anything that I have ever done. Yet that came nearest to success; for it was my one touch of love. I have never loved since, as most surely I had never loved before. She is dea…

THE EQUINOX but there is one that cometh forth to meet me upon the ridge, holding out his arms to me and saying: (v. I.)

But Bugg had thrust it into his inner pocket, and, pressing a sovereign into the man‘s hand, dashed without looking behind him from the shop, eager to put time and space between himself and his compromising pos…
