…t. APXH AZA is, therefore, a precise expression of the doctrine expounded in our Law about “Because”. So far, so good; but this is in no sense the name of the Stèle. I worked on, and found XOIZA, 718, “Yesterday” which might be grasped as a straw if I sank the third time; but I was swimming strongly enough.
… wilt shall be the whole of the Law, biologically as well as in every other way. Let us take an example. I am an antivaccinationist in a sense which every other antivaccinationist would repudiate. I admit that vaccination protects from smallpox. But I should like every body to have smallpox. The weak would die; the strong might have pitted faces; but the race would become immune to the disease in a few generations. On somewhat similar lines, I would advocate, with Samuel Butler, the destruction of all machinery.1 (I admit the practical dif fi…
…, Mr. Crowley has many poetical qualities, and a good deal of promise. His muse is windy, and boyish in over-emphasis, but he has a true sense of musical sound, and, metrically, he has scarcely a bad line. He should mature and live to write very respectable verse.- We doubt if he will ever be original ; but in the middle way of discipleship he ought to do well enough.” —Liserature. 5
…estigation. Lamus is too clever by half; but Sister Athena spoke with such simple earnestness and directness that although she too had a sense of humour of her own, Basil’s ideas were very much more effective when they had passed through the machinery of her mind than when they frothed fresh from his. I had always been inclined to distrust King Lamus. It was impossible to distrust this woman who trusted him, or to doubt that she was right to trust him.” He never seemed able even to take himself seriously, perhaps because he was afraid of appear…
… I was Ankh-f-n-khonsu and brought about the Aeon of Osiris to replace that of Isis. The story must not be taken as true in the ordinary sense of the word, but as allegorical. I wrote many lyrics, but especially "The Sevenfold Sacrament". This poem subsequently appeared in the English Review and has often been reprinted. It {665} is, one might say, a pendant to Aha! It is one of my finest achievements from a technical point of view and describes the actual experience of a night which I spent at Montigny. I was staying at an inn called the Vanne…
its ordinary sense. It is not my fauJt if being is baffling, and doing desperate! Y et, once the above principles are firmly fixed in the mind, it is easy enough to sum up the situation very shortly. One must find out for oneself, and make sure beyond doubt, who one is, what one is, why one is. This done, one may put the Will which is implicit in the “Why” into words, or rather into One Word. Being thus conscious of the proper course to pursue, the next thing is to understand the conditions necessary to following it out. After that, one must el…
…“two” and “four” are merely properties per- taining to One. He can only use the Mystical identity of ail things in a strictly scientific sense. It is true that his expérience of clear skies and storms proves that his nature contains éléments cognate with both; for if not, they could not affect him. He is the Microcosm of his own Macrocosm, whether or no either one or the other extend beyond his knowledge of them. He must there¬ fore arouse in himself those ideas which are clansmen of the Thunderstorm ; collect ail available objects of the same …

…various methods. 2 The ‘‘third eye,’ that rudimentary eye called the pineal gland. Coil fast all thy coils on me, dying, Absorbed in the sense of the Snake! Stir, leave the flower-throne, and up- flying | Hiss once, and hiss thrice, and awake ! Then crown me and cling ! Flash forward—and spring ! Flash forth on the fire of the altar, The stones, and the sacrifice shed ; Till the Three Worlds! flicker and falter, And life and her love be dead ! In mysterious joy Awake—and destroy ! JASON. It is enough ! HERACLES, Too great for a god’s strength !…

I never hear your voice but know Some geese are gabbling. perchance ! The voice of old men is a pleasant thing. Sing to him CHoRrus, What say ye, brethren? him Some sweet low ditty, or the louder pean? Shall we sing to AHINOAM. They verily think I speak, not mocking them. CHORUS, Who shall uncover such a tongue for wiles, And pluck his meaning from his subtle words? AHINOAM, Who shall speak plain enough…
…by accepting for reality the Freudian phantasm of hashed-up paganism with Semitic sauce which led him to the hat. But I went further. My senses and my rational judgment created a subconscious feeling of uneasiness that supernaturalism might not be true. This insulted my inmost consciousness of myself. But the reply was not to accept the false for the true, but to determine to make it true. I resolved passionately to reach the spiritual causes of phenomena, and to dominate the material world which I detested by their means. I was not content to …
occasions. These shouid be “familiar” spirits, in the strict sense; members of bis family. He shouid deal with them constantly, avoiding whimsical or capricious changes. He shouid choose them so that their capacities cover the whole ground of his workj but he shouid not multiply them unneccessarily, for he makes himself responsible for each one that he employs. Such spirits snould be ceremonially evoked to visible or semi-visible appear- ance. A strict arrangement shouid be made and sworn. This must be kept punctiliously by the Magician, and it…
…ot harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this. 23. Iam alone: there is no God where I am.

THE EQUINOX same reason) it lacks just that which Zola always gives—a sense of tragedy. Probably Mr, George will say (with a maiden blush) that his novel is none the worse for that; he would deny the truth of the poet‘s vision—insist that the cosmos is but incoherency of heterogeneous incident, I may, however, urge with more hope of his attention that his novel breaks off at the really interesting part. What did Suzette say? Did the family tyranny make a man of Henri? Were they married,and, if so, what came of it ? I wait patiently on Mr. Georg…

In this his brain will at first be overwhelmed by a sense of utter confusion j secondly, it will endeavour to évadé the difficulty by a trick. The brain will prétend to be workmg backwards when i. The formula of the Great Work “Solve et Coagula” may be thus interpreted. Solve, the dissolution of the self in the Infinité; Coagula, the présentation of the Infinité, in a concrète form, to the outer. Both are necessary to the Task of a Master of the Temple. He may …
…ter I *■ Verses 5—7 29 Hoor-paar-kraat or Harpocrates, the “Babe in the Egg of Blue,” is not merely the God of Silence in a conventional sense. He represents the Higher Self, the Holy Guardian Angel. The con nection is with the symbolism of the Dwarf in Mythology. He contains everything in Himself, but is unmanifested. See ILS.1 1 [See page 95.) 2 [Richard Wagner, Parsifal (1882). Wagner used the spelling Parsifal (rather than Percivale or Parzival) to emphasize a supposed Arabic ety mology of parsi “pure one” and fal “foolish.”] He is the Fi…
…herefore, for the People, is the Cult of the Sun, who is our particular star of the Body of Nuit, from whom, in the strictest scientific sense, come this earth, a chilled spark of Him, and all our Light and Life. His vice-regent and representative in the ani mal kingdom is His cognate symbol the Phallus, representing Love and Liberty. Ra-Hoor-Khuit, like all true Gods, is therefore a Solar-Phallic deity. But we regard Him as He is in truth, eternal; the Solar-Phallic deities of the old /Eon, such as Osiris, “Christ,” Hiram, Adonis, Hercules, e…
