…ara the most formidable of the political organizations, while the physique of the nation had been seriously impaired by the results of a law which, by assuring them in case of injury or illness of a life long competence in idleness which they could never have obtained otherwise by the most laborious toil, encouraged all workers to be utterly careless of their health. The training of servants indeed at this time consisted solely of careful practical instruction in the art of falling down stairs; and the richest man in the country was an ex butle…

…n unto you that the best of all instruction on this matter, and the Word best suited to the AZon of Horus, is written in the Book of the Law. Yet also the Book Ararita is right worthy in the Work of the Light, as Trigrammaton in that of Will, Cordis Cincti Serpente in the Way of Love, and Liberi in that of Life. All these Books also concern all these Four Gifts, for in the end you will see that every one is inseparable from every other. I wish to write to you with regard to the number 93, the number of @EAHMA. For it is not only the number of i…

…resorting to any drug, that in your second year you must be a great fool if you make even half a dozen mistakes. But, as the Book of the Law says, “Success is your proof.’ When you resort to such potent and dangerous expedients for increasing your natural powers, you must make sure that the end justifies the means. You're a scientific man; stick to the methods of science. Wisdom is justified of her children; and I shall be surprised if you do not discover within the next twelve months that your Great Experiment, despite the unnecessary disaster…

…ary language ? ”’ cried Lou at last, the tears running down her cheeks. Hermes became more serious than ever. “It’s from the Book of the Law. Change not so much as the style of a letter,” he said. We began quite seriously to wonder whether we had not got into one of those fantastic waking dreams with which heroin had made us familiar. But this was a dream of a totally different quality. It had a strain of wholesomeness and actuality running through its incredible tissue of marvels. At last we sat up and drew a long breath. Hermes hastened to as…

… fascinations; as to the rest, bewitchments, sorceries, inhibitions and all that lot, it is enough if I say that they follow the regular Laws of Magick; in some, fascinations proper plays a prominent part; in others, it is barely more than walking on to say "My lord, the carriage waits!" But-even that can be done well or ill, and a small mistake may work a mighty mischief. Love is the law, love under will. Yours fraternally, 666

…asantry of prosperous and independent freeholders. He understood that it would be fatal to make them a present of the land; so he made a law by which any man who cultivated his land continuously for fifteen years would at the end of that time become its owner. As is generally known, the greatest pride of the Hindu is to make his daughter's wedding as splendiferous as possible. For this purpose he will get himself into debt for generations ahead as recklessly as the most progressive nation will do for their own pet phantom of glory. So as soon a…

…appeal to a postulated power which is assumed to have laid them down. The religious man is, as such, incapable of understanding what the laws of Nature really are. (They are generalizations from the order of observed fact.) The History of Magick has never been seriously attempted. For one reason, only initiates pledged to secrecy know much about it; for another, every historian has been talking about some more or less conventional idea of Magick, not of the thing itself. But Magick has led the world from before the beginning of history, if only…

… I turned into the Café Wisteria in a sort of dull, angry stupor. Yet the only irritating incident of the day had been a letter from the lawyers which I had found at my club after flying from Norfolk to Barley Grange and motoring up to town. Mr. Wolfe had very sensibly advised me to make a settlement of a part of the estate, as against the event of my getting married; and there was some stupid hitch about getting trustees. I loathe law. It seems to me as if it were merely an elaborate series of obstacles to doing things sensibly. And yet, of co…

… am using have been, or can be defined. All my propositions amount to no more than tautology: A is A. You may even quote The Book of the Law itself: "Now a curse on Because and his kin! ... Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog!" (AL, 11:28-33) These things stink of Ignoratio Elenchi, or something painfully like it: a sort of slipping up a cog, of "confusing the planes ," of wilfully misunderstanding the gist of an argument. (All magicians, by the way, ought to be grounded solidly in Formal Logic.) Never forget, at the least, how simple it …

…statement is that each human being is an Element of the Cosmos, self-determined and supreme, co-equal with all other Gods. From this the Law “Do what thou wilt” follows logically. One star influences another by attraction, of course; but these are inci dents of self-predestined orbits. There is however a mystery of the planets, revolving about a star of whom they are parts; but I shall not discuss it fully in this place. Man is the Middle Kingdom. The Great Kingdom is Heaven, with each star as an unit; the Little Kingdom is the Molecule, with …

…turn to England at the end of 1919. I will only say that my main idea had been to found a community on the principles of The Book of the Law, to form an archetype of a new society. The main ethical principle is that each human being has his own definite object in life. He has every right to fulfil this purpose, and none to do anything else. It is the business of the community to help each of its members to achieve this aim; in consequence {848} all rules should be made, and all questions of policy decided, by the application of this principle t…

A mere law without a will.°—I must not be supposed to take any absurd view of the meaning of the word ‘‘law.” ‘This passage denies any knowledge of ultimate causes, not asserts it. But it tends to deny benevolent fore- sight, and a fortior? benevolent omnipotence. Cf. Zoroaster, Oracles ; ‘‘ Look not upon the visible image of the Soul of Nature, for her name is Fatality.” Ambrosius is very clear on this point. I appe…

20 Cara Soror, MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS Letter H November 10-11, 1943 11 pm-2 am Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Yours of yestere'en came to gladden me just when the whole evening lay blank before me: the one job such a big job that I simply can't get down to it until I get help: How annoying! Still, yours the gain! l. That verse (AL, I: 44) condenses the whole magical technique . It makes clear-when you have understood it-the secret of success in the Great Work. Of course at first it appears a paradox. You must have an aim, and on…

… in the third, their possibilities with regard to the modification of the future. In these supremely important verses of The Book of the Law, it becomes clear that Nuit is aware of all these facts, and that she regards them as no less than the combination of the lock of the strong-room of the future. “This” (doctrine) “shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister”. The misunderstanding of sex, the ignorant fear like a fog, the ignorant lust like a miasma, these things have done more to keep back humanity from realization of itself, an…

…the whites are overwhelming in number, the 'nigger' can be more or less a "regular fellow"; in the South, where fear is a factor , Lynch Law prevails. (Should it? The reason for 'no' is that it is a confession of weakness.) But in the North , there is very strong feeling about certain other classes: the Irish, the Italians , the Jews. Why? Fear again; the Irish in politics, the Italians in crime, the Jews in finance . But none of these phobias prevent friendship between individuals of hostile classes. I think that perhaps I have already written…
