The Equinox (Volume I, Number V)

…he boat of my desire is guided; Realms where the air we breathe is love, Which in the winds and on the waves doth move, Harmonising this earth with what we feel above. We have past Age’s icy caves, And Manhood’sdark and tossing waves, And Youth’s smooth ocean, smiling to betray: Beyond the glassy gulphs we flee * Romance in D : Beethoven. 89

(so spake a certain Veiled One to me) thou art not greater than thy mother! Thou speck of dust infinitesimal! Thou art the Lord of Glory, and the unclean dog. 4. Stooping down, dipping my wings, I came unto the darkly-splendid abodes. There in that formless abyss was I made a partaker of the Mysteries Averse. 5.

And thou being Hero and Magician art in Peril of abusing the fiery Agents only, not those of Earth, Air or Water; because these do really work with thee in Purity, making thee wholly what thou wouldst be, an Engine indefatigable, a Mind clear, calm, and concentrated, and a Heart fierce aglow. n

The Book of Thoth

…rsoever it listeth”. It lacks the concentrated Will of Fire to unite with Water: it has no corresponding pas‐ sion for its Twin Element, Earth. There is indeed, a notable passivity in its nature; evidently, it has no self‐generated impulse. But, set in motion by its Father and Mother, its power is mani‐ festly terrific. It visibly attacks its objective, as they, being of subtler and more tenuous charac‐ ter, can never do. Its “all‐embracing, all‐wandering, all‐penetrating, all‐consuming” qualities have been described by many admirable writers, …

To change her shape at times, and on her take The fierce presentment of a loathly snake To wander curst and lonely through the dire black brake.
