Unhappy one, do not look at her! sing! sing! do not scare away the butterfly of Psyche, which is about to alight on this flower! But the insensate man has seen the look of the woman whom he has raised from the dead, the Grand Hiero- phant gives place to the lover, his lyre falls from his hands, he looks upon Eurydice, he darts towards her, . . . he clasps her in his arms, he finds her frozen still, her eyes are closed again, her lips are paler and colder than ever, th…

…ning in thy heart shall make swift and secure thy pen. 41. Establish at thy Kaaba a clerk-house: all must be done well and with business way. 42. The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to pro- tect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not ; convert not; talk not overmuch! Them that seek to entrap thee, to over- throw thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and str…

It would be improper here to disclose what is presumably the true meaning of this verse. One can only commend it to the earnest considera- 129

…ed in the web of a spider! I adore Thee, Evoe! I adore Thee, I A O!” A revulsion of feeling rushed over me like a storm ; for in the doorway, with Lou’s arms round his neck, was the tall, black, sinister figure of King Lamus. “I knew you wouldn't mind our dropping in, al- though it is so late,” she was saying. It would have been perfectly simple for him to acquiesce with a few conventional words. Instead, he was pontifical. “There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace is of silver and gold ; lapis-lazuli and jasper are there; a…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

…There is no question of Sages daring to still the fruit of Karma. I do not quite know how one would set about still- ing a fruit, by the way. But the more sage one is, the less one wants to interfere with law. There is a special comment upon this point in Liber Aleph. Most of the pleasures in life, and most of the education in life, are given by superable obstacles. Sport, including love, depends on the overcoming of artificial or imaginary resistances. Golf has been defined as trying to knock a little ball into a hole with a set of in- strumen…

…ese-Siamese Buddhism.—Eb.] 2. ’Tis well, Shravaka. Prepare thyself, for thou wilt have to travel on alone. The Teacher can but point the way. The path is one for all, the means to reach the goal must vary with the Pilgrims. It is here admitted that there are many ways of reaching the same end. In order to assist a pupil, the Teacher should know all these ways by actual experience. He should know them in detail. There is a great deal of pious gassing about most Teachers—it is very easy to say “Be good and you will be happy,” and I am afraid that…

…ligibility, is to say that you get very nearly the same sort of feeling as you do when you are making yourself invisible. Shila is in no way connected with the charming Irish col- leen of the same name. (Subsection III.) The “patience” here spoken of seems to imply courage of a very active kind. It is the quality which persists in spite of all opposition. It must not be for- gotten that the word “patience” is derived from Patior, I suffer. But, especially with the ancients, suffering was not conceived of as a purely passive function. It was kee…

The Heart of the Master

There is a Babe, that with his tiny hands presses out blood from his own breast, and smileth: The Way of the Master is the Innocence of Liberty. Also, a Golden Eagle, bearing a Chalice of Wine, crying aloud: The Woe of the Master is the Rapture of Light. Last, in their midst, above His head, there whirls a wheel of many-coloured radiance, so that thereby all deeds are harmonized in one. And the whirring of the wheel declares: The Wisdom of the Master is the Justice of Time. Attend to the Will of the Master! At this there cometh forth from the h…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…d it, fought mean and despicable things fairly and firmly whenever they met them. It was a period of boundless happiness for me. I had always yearned for the beauty of nature; my only friends, except animals and occasional strangers, from whom I was carefully protected, had been the skies, the streams, the mountains and the seas. For the first time in my life I was brought into contact with my fellow men and women. For the first time honest friendship, wholesome love, frank, gay and courageous, became possible and actual. I had loved nature as …
