…rudence, and so on, even to ecstasy on the one hand, and death or madness on the other. But can any of the effects described in this our book Goetia be obtained, and if so, can you give a rational explanation of the circum- stances? Say you so? I can, and will. The spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain. ' Their seals therefore represent (Mr. Spencer's * Thought is a secretion of the brain (Weiss- mann).

…himself capable of such colossal attainment. My twelve months of creative spurt reached a climax in February 1908, when I wrote the five books of The World's Tragedy in five consecutive days at Eastbourne. This is beyond all question the high- water mark of my imagination, my metrical fluency, my wealth of expression, and my power of bringing together the most incongruous ideas so as to enrich my matter to the utmost. At the same time, I succeeded in reaching the greatest height of spiritual enthusiasm, human indignation, and demoniac satire. I…
…here will always remain in himself many discordant affections, as also the bond of habit, and these also must he conquer. In our holiest Book it is written: “Thou hast no right but to do thy will. Do that, and no other shall say nay.” Write it also in your heart and in your brain: for this is the key of the whole matter. Here Nature herself be your preacher: for in every phe- nomenon of force and motion doth she proclaim aloud this truth. Even in so small a matter as driving a nail into a plank, hear this same sermon. Your nail must be hard, sm…
…he wand of my Will to Love, and so to enkindle your Life to Light. [In this mood did I interrupt myself in the writing of this my little book, and for two days and nights sleeplessly have I made consideration, wrestling vehemently with my spirit, lest by haste or carelessness I might fail toward you.] 120
…zy and dangerous brute. Murder, robbery, sedition and many meaner crimes come of the suppression of the bodily need for nourishment. The Book of the Law solves the sexual problem completely. Each individual has an absolute right to satisfy his sexual instinct as is physiologically proper for him. The one injunction is to treat all such acts as sacraments. One should not eat as the brutes, but in order to enable one to do one's will. The same applies to sex. We must use every faculty to further the one object of our existence. The sexual instinc…
…means an eye.) For, if it were not so, the arrow could not pierce the rainbow, and there could be no poise in the balance, and the Great Book should never be unsealed. But this is she that poureth the Water of Life upon her head, whence it floweth to fructify the earth. But now the whole Aethyr is the most brilliant peacock blue. It zs the Universal Peacock that I behold. 118
THE EQUINOX morously pretended that this Book is an ancient Tibetan writing.—Eb.] 19. Saith the Great Law: “In order to become the knower of ALL-SELF, thou hast first of SELF to be the knower.” To reach the knowledge of that SELF, thou hast to give up Self to Non-Self, Being to Non-Being, and then thou canst repose between the wings of the GREAT BIRD. Aye, sweet is rest between the wings of that which is not born, nor dies, but is the AUM throughout eternal Ages. The words “give up” may be explained as “yield” in its subtler or quasi-masochisti…
438 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS them, they learn a little-very little-more, getting their Science from a Shilling Handbook and so on, till they know just enough to become dangerous agitators . No, anything like a real education demands leisure, the conversation of the wise, the means of travel, and the rest. There is only one solution : to pick out the diamonds from the clay, cut them, polish them, and set them as they deserve. Attempt no idiot experiments with the muck of the mine!

Be he damned for a dog!” This Universe—the IO PAN PAN and the OIMOI TALAINOI too—is a Play of Our Merry Lady. It is as natural to have all this heavy stuff about the Weary Pilgrim’s Bleeding Feet, and the Candidate for Woe, and all that, as it is for Theseus and Hippolyta to decide that Pyramus and Thisbe may amuse them. The Public will then kindly excuse the Magus if He be…

…remark that it meant everything to me. I burst into tears. At that moment I caught Arthur's thought, You ought to be busy with the note-book, not crying. I resolutely dried my eyes, took courage, and began to write. II The doctor came in at this moment and begged me to go and rest. You are only distressing yourself, Mrs. Blair, he said; and needlessly, for he is absolutely un- conscious and suffers nothing. A pause. My God! why do you look at me like that? he exclaimed, frightened out of his wits. I think my face had caught something of…
… Turkish bath, where the process of purification is completed by charming ladies. On the eighteenth I wrote about Orpheus, "The accursed Book III utterly finished. Oh Book IV! On the nineteenth I went and saw the fort with "Major Graham, a prize fool from South Africa". The entry demands emendation. He wasn't a major; his name wasn't Graham; he had never been to South Africa; and he was anything but a fool! His idea was to represent himself as in charge of some Boer prisoners and obtain credit and cash by various misrepresentations. The twentie…

…not the feeling ofa plain piece of brown wood. I went almost mad over the discovery. What was the meaning of all this? I then opened the book again, but scarcely had I time to glance at the white page before a large band of negroes came again to me; and this time I could not keep them at a dis- tance. Theychained me and drove me away. I fell unconscious. At my awakeningI found that I was alone by the shore with the old sailor, my willing successor. When he saw that I opened my eyes he spoke gently to me: “ Are you better now?” “What has happene…
