…Thy nostrils. 46. O Thou who camest from the land of the Elephant, girt about with the tiger’s pell, and garlanded with the lotus of the spirit, do Thou inebriate my life with Thy madness, that She leap at my passing. 47. Bid Thy maidens who follow Thee bestrew us a bed of flowers immortal, that we may take our pleasure there- upon. Bid Thy satyrs heap thorns among the flowers, that we may take our pain thereupon. Let the pleasure and pain be mingled in one supreme offering unto the Lord Adonai! 48. Also I heard the voice of Adonai the Lord the…

…h! before the Dyad. By addition ariseth Eleven, the number of True Magick: and by multiplication Three Hun- dred, the Number of the Holy Spirit or Fire, the letter Shin, wherein all things are consumed utterly. With these consid- erations, and a full understanding of the mysteries of the Numbers 666 and 418, you will be armed mightily in this Way of far flight. But you should also consider all numbers in their scales. For there is no means of resolution better than this of pure mathematics, since already therein are gross ideas made fine, and a…

7 ‘ I would be silent, And the words obsess My spirit. It is well.’ “ In a self-imposed trance the poet prophesies the future of the nations. For England, needless to say, he has nothing but vengeance and irretrievable ruin:— ‘ The temple of their God is broken down ; Yea, Mammon’s shrine is cleansed ! The house of her That cowed the world with her malignant frown, And drove the Celt to exile and despair, Is battered now—God’s fire destroys the town ; London admits God’s air.’ “ The other nations fare little better ; impartial justice is meted …

But thou that art with me in the spirit-vision art not with me by right of Attainment, and thou canst not stay in this place to behold how I run and return, and who are the flies that are caught in my web. For I am the inmost guardian that is immediately before the shrine. None shall pass by me except he slay me, and this is his curse, that, having slain me, he must take my office and become the maker of Illusions, the great deceiver, the set…

…h perfect confidence. It is a combination of what the French call élan and what they call tmsouctance. The British Empire is due to this spirit. Our young men went out to India and all sorts of places, and walked all over everybody because they were too ignorant to realise the difficulties in their way. They were taught that if one had good blood in one’s veins, and a public school and university training to habituate one to being a lord of creation, and to the feeling that

In invocation the divine force must be made as manifest and unmistakeable as the efifects of chloroform; in évocation, the spirit called forth must be at least as visible and tangible as the heaviest vapoursj in divination, the answer must be as précisé as a scientific thesis, and as accurate as an audit ; in méditation, the results must read like a spécialistes report of a classical case. By such methods, the A .'. A intends to make occult science as systematic and scientific as chemistry; to rescue it from the ill repute which, thanks both to…

For my own part I would even dare to speak disrespectfully of the Equator rather than dismiss the vast subject of a World-Religion in 180 pages, a large number of which are taken up with the practical jokes of such comic mariners in deep water as Mr. Myers and the Rev.

… to describe St. Paul's Cathedral far better than the dean. There are nineteen of these Keys: the first two conjuring the element called Spirit; the next sixteen invoke the four Elements, each subdivided into four; the nineteenth, by changing two names, may be used to invoke any one of what are called the thirty "Aethyrs" or "Aires". What these are is difficult to say. In one place we are told that they are "Dominion extending in ever widening circles without and beyond the Watch Towers of the Universe", these Watch Towers composing a cube of i…

For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. Commentary: This verse is best interpreted by defining “pure will” as the true expression of the Nature, the proper or inherent motion of the matter, concerned. It is unnatural to aim at any goal. The student is referred to “Liber LXV,” Cap. II, v. 24, and to the Tao Te Ching.1 This bec…

…ger's wife that such sublime devotion to etiquette is in any way ridiculous. English society is impregnated from top to bottom with this spirit. The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbour and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell. Practically all boys are born with the aristocratic spirit4. In most cases they are broken down, partly by bullying, partly by experience. In the case of Alick, he was the only son of a father w…

This Individualistic Conception Gotama banned, he would have none of it; a Soul, a Spirit, a separate entity was anathema to him; but in overthrowing the corrupt Vedanta of the latter-day pundits, like Luther, who many centuries later tore the tawdry vanities from off the back of prostitute Rome, approximating his reformed Church to the communistic brotherhood of Christ, Gotama, the Enlightened One, the Buddha, now similarly went back to Vedic times and to the wisdom of the old Rishis.
