…edge of death. 7. Iam the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. ‘Come unto me” is a foolish word: for it is I that go. 8. Who worshipped Heru-pa-kraath have worshipped me; ill, for I am the worshipper. g. Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is that which remains. 10.

Verbatim re- port of Moslem account of the Annunciation. Such reservations—and I class Myselfa Christian: let us pass Back to the text whose thread we lost, And see what means this “ Pentecost.” This, then, 1s what I deem occurred (According to our Saviour’s word) That all the Saints at Pentecost Received the gift—the Holy Ghost ; Such gift implying, as I guess, This very super-consciousness.TM Mir…

…s by his arcane science and wisdom, choosing only those symbols which were common to all systems, and rigorously rejecting all names and words which might be supposed to imply any religious or metaphysical theory. 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,”…

But remember: “The word of Sin is Restriction.” “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” 63.

… not sure that it is. In any case, it is a great error in education to teach these things. Grammar, we must never forget, appears in the word Gramarye, beloved of Sir Walter Scott, and grimoire, a black magical ritualthat is to say, any written document. Precious little knowledge filtered through Chris- tianity. It was against the interests of the Church, and in those times it was much easier to suppress people and ideas than it is now, though even to-day we find priestsat least in Oxfordwho appear not to have heard of a certain recent…

THE TAROT AND MAGICK Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the Will. In other words, it is Science, Pure and Applied. This thesis has been worked out at great length by Dr. Sir J. G. Frazer. But in common parlance the word Magic has been used to mean the kind of science which ordinary people do not unde…

…society I should regard even my “ Alice ” as perverted art : for in a sane world one is insane to proclaim sanity. But art (which is the Word of the Masters to the World) must move with that world and follow it into its corruption, redeeming the same. The simple humanity, the great guffawing indecency, of Shakespeare is well enough for the pagan society of Eliza- beth. The splendid savage Jehovah is sane enough and grand enough for nomadic Israel. But since then the World is Christianized, and there is a need for the bitter- ness of Shelley and…

Before a little, you will hear speak of me.’” The trial took place with all the frightful vicissitudes with which every one is familiar, and the accused was condemned to death.
