THE VISION AND THE VOICE Light, Life and Love are like three glow-worms at thy feet: the whole universe of stars, the dewdrops on the grass whereon thou walkest! Iam quite blind. Thou art Nuit! Strain, strain, strain my whole soul! Aka dua Tuf ur biu Bi a’a chefu Dudu ner af an nuteru. Falutli! Falutli! I cling unto the burning Aethyr like Lucifer that fell through the Abyss, and by the fury of his flight kindled the air. And I am Belial, for having seen the Rose upon thy breast, I have denied God. And I am Satan! I am Satan! I am cast out upon…

…in the centre of such picture, and able to look freely in all directions. The finished picture should be a complete consciousness of the whole, fixed, clear, and definite. Let him gradually add to this picture by including objects more and more distant, until he have an image of the whole field of vision. He will probably discover that it is very difficult to increase the apparent size of the picture as he proceeds, and it should be his most earnest endeavour to do so. He should seek in particular to appreciate distances, almost to the point of…

STEPPING OUT OF THE OLD AON INTO THE NEW Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. As all of you should know, we have entered a New Zon. A Higher Truth has been given to the World. This truth is waiting in readiness for all those who will consciously accept it, but it has to be realised before it is understood, and day by day those who have accepted this Law, and are trying to live it, realize more and more of its Beauty and Perfection. The new teaching appears strange at first; and the mind is unable to grasp more than a fragment of wha…

…d controls; it gains new powers as one progresses, usually by means of what is called 'initiation'; finally, one carries on almost one's whole life in this Body of Light, and achieves in its own way the mastery of the Universe. The first step in Yoga is "Keep still." The first step in Magick is "Travel beyond the world of the senses." There, that is the whole business in a nutshell, and expressed so that anyone, however ignorant of the subject, may grasp the essentials (I hope). Love is the law, love under will. Yours fraternally, 666

So too the play at scepticism results in an insane excess of maudlin piety. As we look back on that whole dreadful period, we sicken at its loathsome cant, its /aissez-faire, its sweating, its commercialism, its respectability, its humanitarianism, its inhumanity. Of this age we have two perfect relics. If a…

…he base ! There is no knowledge and no power which is useless to the Magician. One might almost say there is no scrap of material in the whole Universe with which he can dispense. His ultimate enemy is the great Magician, the Magician who created the whole illusion of the Universe; and to meet him in battle, so that nothing is left either of him or of yourself, you must be exactly equal to him. At the same time let the Magician never forget that every brick must tend to the summit of the pyramid — the sides must be perfectly smooth; there must …

60 Knack Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I am very glad that it has not been necessary in all this long correspondence with you, to discuss the question of Knack. You seem to be specially gifted; you were able to get the results directly from following out the instructions, and I am glad that it is through you, on behalf of other people, to whom you have communicated these instructions, that this letter has become necessary. When Otto Morningstar was trying (with indifferent success) to teach me how to play French B…

Unto the floral face, Carven in ancient grace Of Gods or Greeks, The whole sky’s way gives place : Open the walls of space, And silence speaks. See ! I am floating far Beyond space and sun and star, As drifts a nenuphar Down lilied creeks. Beyond the heavens I see The pale embroidery Of some wan child Waster by earth and sea, Whose kisses were too free, Too swift and wild ; A Maenad’s floating tress Lost in the wilderness Of death’s or my caress, Discrowned, defiled. 4

…tion should be “right”. There are a thousand different wavs of compassing the end proposed, so far as external things are concerned. The whole secret may be summarised in these four words: “Enflame thyself in praying.” 1 The mind must be exalted until it loses consciousness of self. The Magician must be carried forward blindly by a force which, though. in him and of him, is by no means that which he in his normal State of consciousness calls I. Just as the poet, the lover, the artist, is carried out of himself in a Creative frenzy, so must it b…

Suppose you have chosen a white cross. It will move its bar up and down, elongate the bar, turn the bar oblique, get its arms unequal, turn upside down, grow branches, get a crack around it or a figure upon it, change its shape altogether like an Amoeba,change its size and distance as a whole, change the degree of its illumination, and at the same time change its colour. It will…

…f the Yoni. The significance of this is too complex for our simple treatise; it may be studied in Crowley's "Berashith." The size of the whole figure is determined by the size of one square of the Tau. And the size of this square is that of the base of the Altar, which is placed upon Malkuth. It will follow then that, in spite of the apparent freedom of the Magician to do anything he likes, he is really determined absolutely; for as the Altar must have a base proportionate to its height, and as that height must be con- venient for the Magician,…
