…pted unquestioningly and treated with drab indifference because it had so long been assimi­ lated as a natural and necessary part of the order of Nature. At first I was shocked and disgusted to discover that a series of brilliant researches should culminate in a commonplace. But I soon understood that what I had done was to live over again the triumphant career of conquering humanity; that I had experienced in my own person the succession of winged victories that had been sealed by a treaty of peace whose clauses might be summed up in some such…

Ranged in dim spectral order and procession, We span man’s thought, we limit him in time ; None of the souls of earth have had posses- sion Of larger loves or passions more sublime. Where the night-caverns hide our solemn session The summoning word lifts up our holy rhyme. Even as a mighty river, bend to bend, We rise in turn and look toward the end. Also, the Gods arisen from the living Lights of the sky, half hidden in the night, …

Thus: Child plus food: this does not preserve one at the expense of the other; it “destroys” or rather changes both in order to fulfil both in the resuit of the operation — a grown man. It is in fact impossible to preserve anything as it is by positive action upon it. Its integrity demands inaction; and inaction, résistance to change, is stagnation, death and dissolution due to the internai putréfaction of the starved éléments. 100

He gladly endured the immense labour of compelling a spirit to visible appearance, when a less careful or more fine-minded sorcerer would have worked upon some other plane. He had so far mastered his art that in a place, such as he now had, long habitated to similar scenes, he could call up a visible image of almost any demon required in a period of not more than half an hour.…

In order to induce this religious ecstasy in its highest form Crowley proposes to hold a series of religious services ; seven in number. These services are to be held at Caxton Hall, Westmins- ter, and will be conducted by Aleister Crowley himself, assisted by other Neophytes of the A∴ A∴, the mystical society, one of whose Mahatmas is responsible for the foundation of THE EQUINOX. The seven services will be typi…

For my nature is such that I am compelled to perform Magick in order to make my will to prevail; so that the cause of my doing the Work is also the cause of the balPs motion, and there is no reason why one should précédé the other. (Cf. Lewis Carroll, where the Red Queen screams before she pricks her finger.) “Let me illustrate the theory by an actual example. “I Write from Italy to a a man in France and another in Australia on the same day, telling them to join me.

…and enabling the Osiris to go in and out at his pleasure. On the other hand, there seems to be a Sealing Up, for a def­ inite period, in order to allow the Change to proceed undis­ turbed. Thus Earth lies fallow; the womb is closed during gestation; the Osiris is plugged with talismans. But it is vital to consider this as a strictly temporary device; and to cut out the idea of Eternal Rest. This »/¿¿ana-idea is the coward- “Mother’s Boy” idea; one ought to take a refreshing dip in the tao, no more. I think this must be brought forward as the Ca…

And she could dimly guess why this was so, and must be so. They did not wish to be dragged into foolish controversies with the ignorant. And just then Simon Iff took up the conversation with a remark in tune with that thought. "We shall not ask you for any pledge of secrecy, he said, "for you ha…

Error in thought is therefore failure to understand, and in action to perform one s own true Will. F 73

She knew that he was more than friendly to the Order, though not a member of it; and his face, coupled with the fact that he had not spoken even once in her presence, redoubled that confidence. In front of the little altar, she discovered, as her eyes accommodated themselves to the dimness, a curiously-shapen stool covered with leather. She squatted on it, and found it a very Paradise of ease. And then it dawned upon her that she had to wait. To wait! Ther…
