… or East, both quarters referring, in ways very slightly divergent, to the element of Fire, the Sun, the Father-God in his aspect as the Holy Ghost . The ancient tradition appears in the Gospels: the Lesser Mysteries of John , beheaded with the Sword, and consumed on a Disk, and the Greater Mysteries of Jesus, pierced with a Wand, and consumed in a Cup. All same Tarot! I am not at all sure how far it is wise to take this letter. To make it complete , we should need a Book about three times the size of The Book of Thoth , and I should want anoth…

I thus interpret the word Yeheshuah as the descent of the Holy Spirit into the balanced forces of matter, and the name Yeheshuah is therefore that of a man made divine by the descent of the Holy Spirit into his heart, exactly as the name George means a farmer. This exegetical method is not a modern invention.

…t should happen that you have that faculty, and no gift at all for the other , it's just too bad; you'd better buzz off, and get another Holy Guru less one-legged. There are, however, as I find on reading over what I have written elsewhere, quite a few lacunae in the exposition; and I may as well now do my best to stop one or two obvious gaps. The period of my life which was the climax of my work on this subject is those weeks of Thaumaturgy on the Hudson River-I fear the Magical Diary The Hermit of A esopus Island is irretrievably lost-when I …

The method of consécration is very simple. Takc thc wand, or the holy oil, and draw upon the object to be consec rated the suprême symbol of the force to which y on dedicate it. Confirm this dedication in words, invoking the appropriate God to indwell that pure temple which you hâve prepared for Him. Do this with fervour and love, as if to balance the icy detachment which is the proper mental attitude for banishing.1 The words of purification are: Asperges me, Therion, hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

And this is that which is written in the Holy Qabalah, concerning the Whirlpool and Leviathan, and the Great Stone. (Ibid .) Moreover, there is Mary, a blasphemy against Babalon, for she hath shut herself up; and therefore is she the Queen of all those wicked devils that walk upon the earth, those that thou sawest even as little black specks that stained the Heaven of Urania.

… but to aspire with increasing fervour and concentration, for six months, towards the obtaining of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. Once He has appeared, it is then necessary, first, to call forth the Four Great Princes of the Evil of the World; next, their eight sub-princes; and, lastly, the three hundred and sixteen servitors of these. A number of talismans, previously prepared, are thus charged with the power of these spirits. By applying the proper talismans, you can get practically anything you want. It cannot be …

…pts 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

Shakespeare is perhaps thought by some (may it be credited?) to have written the lines: To thine own self be true, And it will follow as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man. ’Tis a worthy aphorism. Let the consciousness be ever directed towards the Self—by whatever Name I call Thee, Thou art Nameless to all Eternity !—and the possibility of lying is avoided. For one speaketh n…
