The Equinox (Volume I, Number VIII)

THE EQUINOX \Vith fumbling fingers that trembled with excitement he withdrew the photograph from its leaf and half showed it to the proprietor with a whispered " Comby—ang ? " "Trente sous," said the shopman in his most rapid French. And in English, “We take English money here, sir; ten shillings, if you please. May I wrap it up for you?" 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…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX doubtless wished to speak of property absorbed in itself, withdrawn from free exchange, turned from common use. If such were his thought, he might go further, and say that such a suppression of public life is indeed assassination. It is the crime of monopoly, which public instinct has always looked upon as treason to the human race. The family is a natural society which results from marriage. Marriage is the union of two beings joined by love, who promise each other mutual devotion in the interest of the children who may be born. Ma…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX 21. Thou hast to be prepared to anwer Dharma, the stern law, whose voice will ask thee first at thy initial step: 22. “Hast thou complied with all the rules, O thou of lofty hopes? “Hast thou attuned thy heart and mind to the great mind and heart of all mankind? For as the sacred River’s roaring voice whereby all Nature-sounds are echoed back, so must the heart of him “who in the stream would enter,” thrill in response to every sigh and thought of all that lives and breathes.” Here is another absurdity. What is the sense of asking a…

John St. John

10.25. י11.30 100 THE EQUINOX so long striven to obtain: yet he dared not. He had the loaded pistol to his head; he could not pull the trigger. This must have gone on for some time; his agony of failure was awful; {or he knew that he was failing; but though he cried a thousand times unto Adonai with the Voice of Death, he could not—he could not. Again and again he stood at the gate, and could not enter. And the Violet Flames of Ajna triumphed over him. Then Brenner said: “ Let us take a little rest!”—oh irony l—and he came down from his throne,…

The Vision and the Voice

THE EQUINOX And I answer him: Sorrow is not, save in the darkness of the womb of Her by whom came evil. I pierce the Mystery of his breast, and therein is a jewel. It is a sapphire as great as an ostrich egg, and thereon is graven this sigil: But there is also much writing on the stone, very minute characters carved. I cannot read them. He points with his flail to the sapphire, which is now outside him and bigger than himself; and he cries: Hail! warden of the Gates of Eternity who knowest not thy right hand from thy left; for in the aeon of my…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX should now be able to understand the thought of the Jew Abraham. The secret fire of the masters of alchemy was, then, electricity ; and there is the better half of their grand arcanum ; but they knew how to equilibrate its force by a magnetic influence which they concentrated in their athanor. This is what results from the obscure dogmas of Basil Valentine, of Bernard Trevisan, and of Henry Khunrath, who, all of them, pretend to have worked the transmutation, like Raymond Lully, like Arnaud de Villeneuve, and like Nicholas Flamel.

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX We labour earnestly, dear brother, that you may never be led away to perish upon this point; for thereon have many holy and just men been wrecked. By this have all the visible systems lost the essence of wisdom. We have sought to reveal the Arcanum; we have only profaned it. 25. Now when P. had thus with bitter toil prepared all things under the guidance of D.D.S. (even as the hand writes, while the conscious brain, though ignorant of the detailed movements, applauds or disapproves the finished work) there was a certain time of repo…

THE EQUINOX 34. Thy name is Death, it may be, or Shame, or Love. So thou bringest me tidings of the Beloved One, I shall not ask thy name. 35. Where is now the Master? cry the little crazy boys. He is dead! He is shamed! He is wedded! and their mockery shall ring round the world. 36. But the Master shall have had his reward. The laughter of the mockers shall be a ripple in the hair of the Beloved One. 37. Behold! the Abyss of the Great Deep. Therein is a mighty dolphin, lashing his sides with the force of the waves. 38. There is also an harper …

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX atrophied, they proclaim vaingloriously “I have conquered.” The way to conquer any desire is to understand it, and free- dom consists in the ability to decide whether or no you will perform any given action. The Adept should always be ready to abide by the toss of a coin, and remain absolutely indifferent as to whether it falls head or tail. 24. The Dharma (law) of the “Eye” is the embodiment of the external, and the non-existing. By “non-existing” is meant the lower Asat. The word is used on other occasions to mean an Asat which is…

THE EQUINOX The tenth Aethyr is the world of adjectives, and there is no substance therein. (Now returned the beautiful woman who had _ before tempted the Scribe. She prevailed not.) I am afraid of sunset, for Tum is more terrible than Ra, and Khephra the Beetle is greater than the Lion Mau. I am a-cold. (Here Choronzon wanted to leave the triangle to obtain wherewith to cover his nakedness. The Scribe refused the request, threatening the demon. After a while the latter continued:) Iam commanded, why I know not, by him that speaketh. Were it th…
