THE EQUINOX persuades himself 01 his own attainment. If contradicted on the subject, he is cross and spiteful and cattish. IfI criticise Mr X, he screams, and tries to injure me behind my back; if I say that Madame Y is not exactly St Teresa, she writes a book to prove that she is. Such persons “ swollen with wind, and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread,” as Milton wrote of a less dangerous set of spiritual guides. For their unhappy followers and imitators, no words of pity suffice. The whole universe is for them bu…

THE EQUINOX understanding. And thou shalt give all that thou hast unto them that have need unto this end. And because I am with thee, and in thee, and of thee, thou shalt lack nothing. But who lack me, lack all. And I swear unto thee by Him that sitteth upon the Holy Throne, and liveth and reigneth for ever and ever, that I will be faithful unto this my promise, as thou art faithful unto this thine obligation. Now another voice sounds in the Aethyr, saying: And there was darkness over all the earth unto the ninth hour. And with that the Angel i…

THE EQUINOX fact; man is a religious animal. The word “religion” has then a necessary and absolute sense. Nature herself sanctifies the idea which this word represents, and exalts it to the height of a principle. The need of believing is closely linked with the need of loving; for that reason our souls need communion in the same hopes and in the same love. Isolated beliefs are only doubts: it is the bond of mutual confidence which, by creating faith, composes religion. Faith does not invent itself, does not impose itself, does not establish its…

THE EQUINOX “Oh, well!” said the Abbé Charvoz, after another slight hesitation; “I will show them to you.” Then he unbuttoned the top of his black waistcoat and drew forth a little reliquary of silver, before which he fell on his knees, with tears in his eyes, and prayers on his lips; Eliphas fell on his knees beside him, and the Abbé opened the reliquary. There were in the reliquary three hosts, one whole, the two others almost like paste, and as it were kneaded with blood. The whole host bore in its centre a heart in relief on both sides; a c…

THE EQUINOX Thus talking, the two companions had arrived at the Rue du Vieux Colombier. The lady thanked her improvised cavalier, and renewed her invitation to come to see her. “J will try to do so,” said Eliphas; ‘but if I come shall I ask the porter for Mlle. de la Merlitre?” “Do not do so,” said she; ‘I am not known under that name; ask for Mme. Dutruck.” “Dutruck, certainly, madam; I present my humble compliments.” And they separated. The trial of the assassin began, and Eliphas, reading in the newspapers that the man was a priest, that he …

THE EQUINOX doubtless; this blood did once circulate in veins, then it has been shed, evaporated, dried, the serum has turned into vapour, the globules into impalpable dust, the whole has floated and whirled into the atmosphere, and has then been attracted into the current of a specified electro- magnetism. The serum has again become liquid; it has taken up and imbibed anew the globules which the astral light has coloured, and the blood flows. Photography proves to us sufficiently that images are real modifications of light. Now, there exists a…

THE EQUINOX 32. Further Adonai spake unto V.V.V.V.V. and said: 33. Let us take our delight in the multitude of men! Let us shape unto ourselves a boat of mother-of-pearl from them, that we may ride upon the river of Amrit! 34. Thou seest yon petal of amaranth, blown by the wind from the low sweet brows of Hathor? 35. (The Magister saw it and rejoiced in the beauty of it.) Listen! 36. (From a certain world came an infinite wail.) That falling petal seemed to the little ones a wave to engulph their continent. 37. So they will reproach thy servant…

THE EQUINOX 12. But in the very hour I beheld corruption. 13. Then I said: O my beloved, O Lord Adonai, I pray thee to loosen the coils of the serpent! 14. But she was closed fast upon me, so that my Force was stayed in its inception. 15. Also I prayed unto the Elephant God, the Lord of Be- ginnings, who breaketh down obstruction. 16. These gods came right quickly to mine aid. I beheld them; I joined myself unto them; I was lost in their vastness. 17. Then I beheld myself compassed about with the In- finite Circle of Emerald that encloseth the …

THE EQUINOX 53. Point out the “Way’—however dimly, and lost among the host—as does the evening star to those who tread their path in darkness. The principal method of Karma Yoga indicated is the preaching of the good Law. Of course it will be understood that anyone thus unfortunately situated cannot understand the Law, but the Law is of such virtue that this is not a fatal disadvantage. See Liber CCC. 54. Behold Migmar (Mars), as in his crimson veils his “Eye” sweeps over slumbering Earth. Behold the fiery aura of the “Hand” of Lhagpa (Mercury)…

THE EQUINOX 37. But once thou hast passed the gate of Kshanti, step the third is taken. Thy body is thy slave. Now, for the fourth prepare, the Portal of temptations which do ensnare the inner man, We are now on a higher plane altogether. The Higher and Lower Selves are made One. It is that One whose further progress from Tiphareth to Binah is now to be described. 38. Ere thou canst near that goal, before thine hand is lifted to upraise the fourth gate’s latch, thou must have mastered all the mental changes in thy Self and slain the army of the…

…there is nothing in the stone but the black cross of Themis, and on it these words: Memento: Sequor. (These words probably mean that the Equinox of Horus is to be fol- lowed by that of Themis.) Bou-SAapa. December 2, 1909. 4.50-6.5 p.m. Tue Cry OF THE I5TH AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED OXO There appears immediately in the Aethyr a tremendous column of scarlet fire, whirling forth, rebounding, crying aloud. And about it are four columns of green and blue and gold and silver, each inscribed with writings in the character of the dagger. And the column o…

THE EQUINOX What does it matter to me that Anacreon should sing of Bathyllus, if in his verse I hear the notes of that divine harmony which is the eternal hymn of beauty? Poetry is pure as the Sun: it spreads its veil of light over the errors of humanity. Woe to him who would lift the veil in order to perceive things ugly! The Council of Trent decided that it was permissible for wise and prudent persons to read the books of the ancients, even those which were obscene, on account of the beauty of the form. A statue of Nero or of Heliogabalus mad…
