… All-dominating, in its Absolute Supremacy—gleaming as the Great Name Elohim in the Heart of the Six-fold star! Flaming as the Purifying Fire, purging and ordering the Chaos of the Night of Time! As in the midst of the Letters of the Verse we saw the words on nnx, “Thou in Extension,” so also does the Name Elohim read x, “ Deity,” ovn, in Extension.* And the numeration of Elohim is 86, which by Gematria reads mn, again meaning “spread out, extended.” Write the letters of this Name in any Invoking Penta- gram ; and the Banishing Pentagram thereo…

Not that there is or has ever been a common religious tradi- tion ; but for the very much simpler reason that all the traditions are based on the same set of facts. Just as the festivals of Spring all the world round more or less suggest the story of the Cruci- fixion and Resurrection, simply because the actual phenomena which every man is bound to observe in Nature are essentially …

NECROMANCY AND SPIRITISM 181 features were European. The Shaman then lit a fire and burnt some leaves, threw powder on them muttering incantations, and there was a heavy aromatic smoke . He said in Russian to the Bolshevik, "Ask what you want to know." The Bolshevik spoke in German; he was sure that the Shaman knew no German, but he was equally sure he saw the /ips move and heard it answer, clearly, in German. He asked what would happen to Russia, and what would happen to him. From the moving lips of the corpse came the reply that Russia would …

…chamber where is another Angel like a fair youth in shining garments, who makes me partake of the sacraments; bread, that is labour; and fire, that is wit; and a rose, that is sin; and wine, that is death. And all about us isa great company of angels in many- coloured robes, rose and spring-green, and sky-blue, and pale gold, and silver, and lilac, solemnly chanting without words. It is music wonderful beyond all that can be thought. And now we go out of the chamber; on the right is a pylon, and the right figure is Isis, and the left figure * N…

And they shall have power over all the inhabitants of the earth, and every scourge of God shall be subdued beneath their feet. The angels shall come unto them and walk with them, and the great gods of heaven shall be their guests. But I must sit apart, with dust upon my head, discrowned and desolate. I must lurk in forbidden corners of the earth. I must plot secretly in the by-ways of great cities, in th…

The overseers gathered a fire of sticks, and she soon had some capital nigger meat broiling. For soup she gave us some stallion jelly from her chocked-up cuckoos nest ; for fish the scrapings of the old negresses diddly-pouts made an excellent kedgeree : for entrée she did up a lot of balls, in shit sauce : also there was plenty of tripe, and some delicious sweetbread : for vegeta- bles the stomachs of our victims were as good as a …

For my heart turns—ah still !—in Sorrow’s traces, Where sad…

He is about to bear witness that there is no God but God, and Mo- hammed is his prophet (i.e. about to resign himself to death), when he is lifted out by a woman’s hand and set on solid earth again. “ O ass ! how dost thou dare awaken Ayeshah the promised wife of the Prophet of Allah ? ” “ O Ayeshah !

And there is a perfume which I cannot describe; it is like nothing that one can describe, but the suggestion is like lignum aloes.

Now a veil of olive and silver is drawn over the stone, only I hear the voice of the angel receding, very sweet and faint and sorrowful, sayi…

…over. That goes for Vampires! In 1916, I was the first trained scien tific observer to record the appearance commonly called "St. Elmo's fire" indiscreetly revealing this fact in a letter to the New Yark Times. I was pestered for the next six months and more by professors of physics (and the rest) from all over the U.S.A. The existence of the phenomenon had been doubted until then because of certain theoretical difficulties. That, sister, is the point.

Ready and waiting for us were hot drinks of every kind, blankets toasting before a splendid fire, a bright open bed in the luxurious room in ten minutes he had her nude and dry and warm and happy. He dismissed me queerly : I suppose I must follow, he laughed, lifting her tenderly into bed with yet another kiss. Ill tell you about it one day. So I left them.

Nay, neither hear nor spare ; Frenzy shall mock at prayer ; Torture’s red torch shall flare Till thou expire. IV.
