…ok more closely , not to say jealously , than the ordinary disinterested reader , I decline taking the risk of detailed praise . A small word of protest will be safer . I note - and may summon almost every page of the book for evidence that the lyrical form nowadays dominates all others ; that even in Mr . Hardy 's Dynasts - yes , and even in Mr . Doughty 's great epic - other forms are perpetually haunted and worried , if not actually tyrannised over , by the lyrical . Indeed a young poet gravely informed me , the other day , that the lyric he…
…ast recognize this,” said the stranger, taking from his pocket a little, much-used black book. It was the grimotve of Pope Honorius. One word upon this little book so much decried. The grimoive of Honorius is composed of an apocryphal constitution of Honorius II, for the evocation and control of spirits; then of some superstitious receipts . . . it was the manual of the bad priests who practised Black Magic during the darkest periods of the middle ages. You will find there bloody rites, mingled with profanations of the Mass and of the consecrat…

… do They allow you to be plagued by printers, held up for lack of secretaries, worried by all sorts of practical problems? ... Why, in a word, does anything ever go wrong?" There are several lines of reply; coalescing, they suffice: 1. What is "wrong"? Since four wars is Their idea of "right," you may well ask by what standard you may judge events. 2. Their Work is creative; They operate on the dull mass of unrealized possibilities. Thus they meet, firstly, the opposition of Inertia; secondly, the recoil, the reaction, the rebound. 3. Things th…
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HASHISH word which we call a thought, seem to stand at a definite dis- tance in space behind the thought, the thought being farther from the perceiving soul. Looking at each glyph, one perceives, too, that itself is made up of other glyphs yet nearer to the Self, these glyphs, however, being formless and nameless; they are not truly perceived, but one is somehow aware of them. Unfortunately, the tendency to fall into effect (6) makes it very difficult to concentrate on the analysis of these ideas, so that one is hurried on to …

THE VISION AND THE VOICE restricted love, and have not understood that “the word of sin is restriction.” It is very curious; they seem to be looking for one another or for something, all the time, constantly hurrying about. But they knock up against one another and yet will not see one another, or cannot see one another, because they are so shut up in their cloaks. And a voice sounds: It is most terrible for the one that hath shut himself up and made himself fast against the universe. For they that sit encamped upon the sea in the city of the P…
…ntelligence and love; it is the life of God upon earth. Love one another—that is the Law and the Prophets! Meditate, and understand this word. And when you have understood, read no more, seek no more, doubt no more—love ! Be no more wise, be no more learned—love! That is the whole doctrine of true religion; religion means charity, and God Himself is only love. I have already said to you, to love is to give. The impious man is he who absorbs others. The pious man is he who loses himself in humanity If the heart of man concentrate in himself the …
THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES it reconciles the living numbers of Pythagoras with the monadic Word of St. John ;! so much, science and reason will agree. It is then in the eyes of reason and of science them- selves the most perfect, that is to say the most complete, dogma which has ever been produced in the world. Let science and reason grant us so much; we shall ask nothing more of them. “God exists; there is only one God, and He punishes those who do evil,” said Moses. “God is everywhere; He is in us, and the good that we do to men we do it to God…
…longer anything but allegorical mummeries; they no longer give grace; they no longer make God seen and touched; they are no longer, in a word, the signs of the almighty power of faith, but the compelled witnesses of the eternal impotence of doubt. It is, then, against faith itself that the Reformation pro- tested! Protestants were right only in their protest against the inconsiderate and persecuting zeal which wished to force consciences. They claimed the right to doubt, the right to have less religion than others, or even to have none at all; …

For the Magistry of this Opus is a secret magistry; and the sign of the master thereof is a certain ring of lapis- lazuli with the name of my master, who am I, and the Eye in the Midst thereof. 17. Also He spake and said: This is a secret sign, and thou shalt not disclose it unto the profane, nor unto the neo- phyte, nor unto the zelator, nor unto the practicus, nor unto the phil…

THE EQUINOX Creation, where Adam represents the Concealed One, for Adam is Temurah of MAD, the Enochian word for God, and Eve, whom he created for love, is tempted by the snake, Nechesh, who is Messiah her child. And the snake is the magical power, which hath destroyed the primordial equili- brium. And the garden is the supernal Eden, where is Ayin, 70, the Eye of the concealed One, and the creative Lingam; and Daleth, love; and Nun the serpent. And therefore this con- stitution was implicitly in the nature of Eden (f Liber L., L., 29, 30), so …
… function from which it takes its name. We have already spoken of the thumb; the index is the finger which points out, it is that of the word and of prophecy; the medius dominates the whole hand, it is that of destiny; the ring-finger is that of alliances and of honours: chiromancers have consecrated it to the sun; the little finger is insinuating and talkative, at least, so say simple folk and nursemaids, whose little finger tells them so much. The hand has seven protuber- ances which the qabalists, following natural analogies, have attributed…
