…ards, preferably a pack used for divination by some one who really understood the matter. 3. Remember that one should expect to name the right card once in 78 times. Also be careful to exciude ail possibilities of obtaining the knowledge through the ordinary senses of sight and touch, or even smell. There was once a man whose fingertips were so sensitive that he could feel the shape and position of the pips and so judge the card correctly. 4.

Beyond these the slope suddenly eased off, and thence the rock took a final leap to its summit on which stood the remains of ancient Grecian temples. With even gre…

Magick Without Tears

312 MAGICK WITHOUT . TEARS any shape is a breach of the Law of Thelema.

(The basis of our criminal law is simple, by virtue of Thelema: to violate the right of another is to forfeit one's own claim to protection in the matter involved.) So much for my own position; but let us look at the original case with another protagonist: let us say…

…k for themselves usually fall into the error of contradicting normal ideas as taught by their seniors. Thus, one learns that marriage is right and adultery wrong. One thinks, and finds the beauty of the latter, the sordidity of the former; perhaps ending, with a little wit, in defending marriage because the delights of adultery are impossible without it.
