THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES A useless word is a crime against the spirit of intelli- gence; it is an intellectual infanticide. Things are for every one what he makes of them by naming them. The word of every one is an impression or an habitual prayer. To speak well is to live well. A fine style is an aureole of holiness. From these principles, some true, others hypothetical, and from the more or less exaggerated consequences that they draw from them, there resulted for superstitious qabalists an absolute confidence in enchantments, evocations, con…
THE EQUINOX without limit, created spirits would lose themselves in the infinite, and from lack of the power to concentrate themselves somewhere, they would be dead and impotent everywhere, lost as they would be in the immensity of God. All created spirits have, then, bodies, some subtler, some grosser, according to the surroundings in which they are called to live. The soul of a dead man would, then, not be able to live in the atmosphere of the living, any more than we can live in earth or in water. For an airy, or rather an ethereal, spirit, …

Thus the light of the spirits has risen where the sun of the world rises; Christ conquered the West, and the soft rays of the sun of Asia have touched the icicles of the North. Stirred by this unknown heat, ant-heaps of new men have spread over a worn-out world; the souls of dead people have shone upon rejuvenated races, and enlarged in them the spirit of life. There is in the world a nation which calls itself frankness and freedom…

THE OLD BOTTLE 165 1 Her body wearies of desire , and fails To satisfy the fury of her spirit ; The blood feasts sicken her and yield no strength ; She is made one with hell , and violent force Slips and is weakness , and extreme desire Spends supple . Inane revivals stir her muddy waters , as rise gusts of fetid gas from a disturbed cesspool . Maniacs like Piggott and Evans arise , as also do such religious Ananiases as Dowie and Torrey ; all battening as greedy vultures on the mental dead , as they take their place on the eternal towers of si…

Images, images, images, all without control, all without reason. The malice of Choronzon is not the malice of a being; it is the quality of malice, because he that boasteth himself “JT am I,” hath in truth no self, and these are they that are fallen under my power, the slaves of the Blind One that boasteth himself to be the Enlightened One. For there is no centre, nay, nothing but Dispersion. Woe, woe,…

To do this utterly was found impossible, since all lan- guage has a history, and the use (for example) of the word “spirit” implies the Scholastic Philosophy and the Hindu and Taoist theories concerning the breath of man. So was it difficult to avoid implication of some undesirable bias by using the words “order,” “circle,” “chapter,” “society,” “brotherhood,” or any other to designate the body of ini- tiates. 23.
