…is the best I know of—and in Loyola’s “ Exercitios Espirituales,’ whose discipline and method is, in my opinion, unsurpassed. These phenomena are nearly always tainted with sexuality, and are excessively dangerous from this cause. “Dirt is matter in the wrong place,” and to mix, consciously or unconsciously, either morality or immorality with religion is dirty; and dirt makes disease. The victim becomes a fanatic at the best, at the worst and most frequent a driveller. Of a lower type are the loves of Magi and invoked elementals. As Levi says, …

… When, like a bad dream changing, swiftly grows A new souls joy, a fuller-petalled rose. Many the spirits broken for one man ; Many the men that perish to create One God the more ; many the weary and wan Old Gods that die to constitute a Fate : How many Fates then, think you, must control The stainless aspiration of the soul ? Not one. I tell you, destiny is sure, Yet moves no finger : though it tune my tongue, My tongue shall tune it too : my words endure As destiny decays : my hands are flung In prayer to Heaven nay, to mine own crown, To ra…

PREFACE. XXV But, then, of course, the question arises “ what is por- nography ? ” It has been justly remarked that the greatest men are those who play upon the whole scale of human emotions, from the spiritual to the obscene. The humour of Aristo- phanes, Shakespere, Sterne, and Rabelais is identical with that of the ordinary smoking-room story ; only a deal better done. Nor is there any other eternal humour ; other kinds depend on the accidents of the age. You never find a single impure line in any of these au- thors, any gloating on impurity…

…g well assured that if I once laid down the pen nothing would persuade me to resume the distasteful task. For there is no ecstasy in argument and exposition as there is in Poetry. That is why journalists are such dull dogs, even when they start as brilliant men. My readers, too, may be weary. They may say to me, as Lord Tankerville said to me at eleven A. M. on the 7th of July 1907 “ I’m sick of your teaching — teaching — teaching — as if you were God Almighty and I were a poor bloody shit in the street ! ” — I could not blame them. On the whol…

Immortality jetteth from my vulva also, For my Whoredom is a sweet scent like a seven-stringed instrument, Played unto God the Invisible, the all-ruler, That goeth along giving the shrill scream of orgasm. Every man that hath seen me forgetteth me never, and I appear oftentimes in the coals of the fire, and upon the smooth white skin of woman, and in the constancy of the waterfall, and in the emptiness of deserts and marshes, and upon great cliffs that look seaward; and in many strange places, where men seek …

…the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit! 3. Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them. Commentary: The God of Vengeance is in Greek O AAAZTQP, Aleister. For some reason which I have not been able to trace, this God became Alastor, the Desert Daemon of the Rabbins, then later the “Spirit of Solitude” of Shelley.1 The attri bution is appropriate enough, the root being apparently AAAO- MAI, “I wander.” The idea of “Going” is dreadful to the bourgeois, so that a wanderer is “accursed.” But, me judice,…

Further in the dream there was let down from heaven a mighty tessaract, bounded by eight cubes, whereon sat a mighty dolphin having eight senses. Further, he beheld a cavern full of most ancient bones of men, and therein a lion with a voice of a dog. Then came avoice: ‘Thirteen! are they, who are one. Once is a oneness: twice is the Name: thrice let us say not: by four is the Son…

Now, regarded in this light, all religions, qud religions, are equally contemptible. The Hindu Gnanis say "That which can be thought is not true." As machineries for the exercise of spiritual and intellectual powers innate or developed, certain sets of …

I admit I did not expect to see a mermaid, but I was tired of peep-shows and waxworks and fasting men, and there was something so incongruous in the idea of a mermaid, even an imaginary one, being exhibited in this rickety booth, by the light of a naphtha lamp, that, for a moment, I stopped to listen. The man stood in the doorway, shouting, to attract the passer- by, and there was a picture too, to aid him: the picture of a wondrous creature with flaxen hair and a hectic flush, and decked with a silvern ta…

Under the whip of the clown God, our performing donkeys the philosophers and men of science run round and round in the ring; they have amusing tricks : they are cleverly trained ; but they get nowhere.

…longs. The history of Christianity shows precisely the same remarkable fact. Jesus Christ was brought up on the fables of the “ Old Testament,” and so was compelled to ascribe his experiences to “Jehovah,” although his gentle spirit could have had nothing in common with the monster who was always commanding the rape of virgins and the murder of little children, and whose rites were then, and still are, celebrated by human sacrifice.1 Similarly the visions of Joan of Arc were entirely Christian; but she, like all the others we have mentioned, fou…

72 he would tell you that the “ether,” which cannot be perceived in any way by any of the senses, or detected by any instruments, and which possesses qualities which are, to use ordinary language, impossible, is very much more real than the chair he is sitting on. The chair is only one fact; and its existence is testified by one very falliole person. The ether is the necessary deduction from millions of facts, which have been verified again and again and checked by every pos- sible test of truth. There is therefore no ὰpriori reason for rejecting…

… in light that form is preserved. It is by light that form reproduces itself. The vibrations of light are the principle of universal movement. By light, the suns are attached to each other, and they interlace their rays like chains of electricity. Men and things are magnetized by light like the suns, and, by means of electro-magnetic chains whose tension is caused by sympathies and affinities, are able to communicate with each other from one end of the world to the other, to caress or strike, wound or heal, in a manner doubtless natural, but in…
