The Law is for All

Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX — Chapter III 215 46. I am the warrior Lord of the Forties: the Eighties cower before me, & are abased.

Thou shalt drain out thy blood that is thy life into the golden cup of her fornication. 3. Thou shalt mingle thy life with the universal life. Thou shalt keep not back one drop. 4» Then shall thy brain be dumb, and thy heart beat no more, and ail thy life shall go from thee; and thou shalt be cast out upon the midden, and the birds of the air shall feast upon thy flesh, and thy bones shall w…

But-even that can be done well or ill, and a small mistake may work a mighty mischief. Love is the law, love under will. Yours fraternally, 666

Diary of a Drug Fiend

…it sounds to me rather funny. | We went to tea with Mabel Black. Every one was talking about drugs. Every one seemed to want them ;. yet Lord Landsend had just come back from Germany and he said you could buy it quite easily there, but nobody seemed to want to. Then is the whole German people in a silent con- spiracy to destroy us? I never took much stock in all those stories about the infernal cunning of the Hun. We heard a“lot about the underground traffic, though, and I think we ought to be able to get it pretty easily.. I don’ t know what’s…

What do conditions matter to me?” “Well,” said King Lamus, “ it’s really only a small condition ; and to prove that I keep my promises, I must keep them all round. You see, I promised to cure Sir Peter, too, and so my condition is that he comes with us.”’ She sprang to her feet as if a cobra had struck her. Her long arms wrestled against the unresisting air. …

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…er of Edmund Gosse, was a leader among the Open Brethren, who differed from the Exclusive Brethren, at first, only by tolerating, at the Lord's table, the presence of "Professed Christians" not definitely affiliated to themselves. Edmund Gosse has described his father's attitude in Father and Son. Much of what he wrote taxes the credulity of the reader. Such narrowness and bigotry as that of Philip Gosse seemed beyond belief. Yet Edward Crowley regarded Philip Gosse as likely to be damned for latitudinariansm! No one who loved the Lord Jesus in…

…As I came, she shot off my well-oiled plenipo and was immediately split up from the fork to the shoulders by the giant callibis- tris of Lord R . . . y, whose affection for a buttered bun is only equalled by the size of his Julius Cae- sar. This truly formidable weapon is worth a mo- ment’s digression. It hangs below the owner’s knees, making the kilt an unconventional, if effec- tive, wear. In erection the noble owner can lick the cheese from under the prepuce, and Lady S . . . t, who has so often accommodated an ass — in the interest of bacte…

Also He made me a Magus, speaking through His Law, the Word of the new Aeon, the Aeon of the Crowned and Conquering Child. 2 Thus he fulfilled my will to bring full freedom to the race of Men. Yea, he wrought also in me a Work of Wonder beyond this, but in this matter I am sworn to hold my peace. 1.

…ever joyous!-death is the crown of all. The mystic's idea of deliberately stupefying and stultifying himself is an "abomination unto the Lord." This, by the way, does not conflict with the rules of Yoga. That kind of suppression is comparable to the restrictions in athletic training, or diet in sickness. Now we get back to the Qabalah-how to make use of it. Let us suppose that you have been making an invocation, or shall we call it an investigation, and suppose you want to interpret a passage of Bach. To play this is the principal weapon of you…

…t the mind accepts the domination of the Will, and rushes of its own accord toward the desired object. This surrender of the mind to its Lord gives the holy ecstasy which we seek. It is spoken of in all religions, usually under the figure of the bride going forth to meet the bridegroom. It is the attainment of this which makes the saint and the artist. Now in our ceremonies we endeavour to help everybody present to experience this. We put the mind of the spectator in tune with

She rides astride the Beast; in her left hand she holds the reins, representing the pas‐ sion which unites them. In her right she holds aloft the cup, the Holy Grail aflame with love and death. In this cup are mingled the elements of the sacrament of the Aeon. The Book of Lies devotes one chapter to this symbol. Waratah­Blossom Seven are the veils of the dancing‐girl in the harem of IT.
