…, the Poem, the Motor by Moonlight, the Marriage Certificate, the Whip, and the Feigned Flight. The Magical Link may be classified under three main heads; as it involves (i) one plane and one person, (2) one plane and two or more persons, (3) two planes. In class (1) the machinery of Magick — the instrument — already exists. Thus, I may wish to heal my own body, increase my own energy; develop my own mental powers, or inspire my own imagination. Here the Exorcist and the Démon are already connected, consciously or subconsciously, by an excellen…

… very far from being practical instruction. (The chapter on the Lamen, pp. 159-161, is even worse.) An analogy, not too silly, for these three: the Chess-player, the Opening, and the Game itself. But-you will object-why be silly at all? Why not say simply that the Lamen, stating as it does the Character and Powers of the wearer, is a dynamic portrait of the individual, while the Pantacle, his Universe, is a static portrait of him? and that, you pursue flatteringly, is why you preferred to call the Weapon of Earth (in the Tarot) the Disk, emphas…

…hat? — to pay any attention to the necessities of would-be travellers. The speed of the trains is adjusted to that of the Roman Legions: three miles per hour. And they are always late, in honour of the immortal Fabius, "qui cunctando restituit rem." [10] This terminus is swathed in immemorial gloom; it was in one of the waiting- rooms that James Thomson conceived the idea for his City of Dreadful Night; but it is still the heart of London, throbbing with a clear longing towards Paris. A man who goes to Paris from Victoria will never reach Paris…

…of these ruminators-poor old, dear old G for gaga Bernard Shaw. The artist, said he, was a special case. He should have a nice easy job, three or four hours a day, and be free for the rest of it to devote himself to his Art. I wonder how much of his own work would have seen daylight if he had been tied to some silly robot soul-killing, nerve-crushing, mind-infuriating routine job for even one half-hour a day! When I am on a piece of work, I grudge the time for eating; and when it's done, I need the absolute relaxation of leisured luxury. Then w…

…own Ananias-like attempt to "keep back part of the price," my relations with Virakam had become strained. We reached Naples after two or three quarrelsome days in Rome and began house-hunting. I imagined that we should find dozens of suitable places to choose from, but we spent day after day scouring the city and suburbs in an automobile, without finding a single place to let that corresponded in the smallest degree with our ideas. Virakam's brat-a most god-forsaken lout-was to join us for the Christmas holidays, and on the day he was due to ar…

My heart is a little fretful at times. It’s certainly great, Peter Pan having medical knowledge. He went out and got some strychnine and put me right. Champagne helps H. quite a lot. Youmustn’t drink it off. The thing to do is to sip it very slowly. It helps one to move one’s hands.

With “know” itself, they may be “Nothing under its three forms”1 of negativity, action, and individuality. 1 [From “Liber Trigrammaton sub figura XXVII,” The Holy Books of Thelema (The Equinox 111(9)) (1983), p. 45.] 18.

We had got down to three goes a day two days running, chiefly by following his advice to take one of the white tablets instead of the heroin whenever the craving became irresistible. He made rather a point of that, by the way. . It was a bad thing, he said, to yield to stress. It wasn’t nearly so harmful to take the heroin when one didn’t feel so badly in need of it. Even after all this time I hadn’t quite got on to the peculiar…

But America never waits for laws; her people go ahead. The emancipated, self-supporting American woman already acts exactly like the “bachelor-boy.” Sometimes she loses her head, and stumbles into marriage, and stubs her toe. She will soon get tired of the folly. She will perceive how imbecile it is to hamstring herself in order to please her parents, or to legitim…
