… a call-box in Shaftesbury Avenue." Collapse of A's confidence in the sanity of Nature. One may note that there was no similarity in the names of the exchanges, or in the numbers . It is the most grotesquely impossible case of "wrong number" that ever came my way. Now for one or two oddities. Recently, needing to relax, I borrowed three "thrillers" from different sources. In every case, the plot turned on two men being so alike that no one could tell them apart. (Rupert of Hentzau , John Chilcote, M.P.,Melander's Millions.) I travelled from Lou…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX By Light shall ye look upon yourselves, and behold All Things that are in Truth One Thing only, whose name hath been called No Thing for a cause which later shall be de- clared unto you. But the substance of Light is Life, since without Existence and Energy it were naught. By Life therefore are you made yourselves, eternal and incorrup- tible, flaming forth as suns, self-created and self-supported, each the sole centre of the Universe. Now as by Light ye beheld, by Love ye feel. There is an ecstacy of pure Knowledge, and another of …

…he year 1799, there was in the Faubourg St. Antoine, at Paris, a blacksmith who gave himself out to be an adept of hermetic science. His name was Leriche, and he passed for having performed miraculous cures and even resurrections by the use of the universal medicine. A ballet girl of the Opéra, who believed in him, came one day to see him, and said to him, weeping, that her lover had just died. M. Leriche went out with her to the house of death. As he entered, a person who was going out, said to him: “It is useless for you to go upstairs, he di…

Wilkinson (who wrote under the pen-name Louis Marlow) possessed impressive literary qualifications and had the advantages of knowing Crowley well and being a layman in esoteric matters. The result of his work is this long- awaited authorized popular edition of Crowley’s “new commentary” on The Book of the Law, and its first appearance as Crowley wished it. Louis Wilkinson’s editorial work was posthumously completed and augmented by Frater Super…

…ITHOUT TEARS thyself; stand, play the man, for behold! there shall be revealed unto thee the Great Terror, the thing of awe that hath no name. (Ibid., 3rd Aethyr) And now She cometh forth again, riding upon a dolphin. Now again I see those wandering souls, that have sought restricted love, and have not understood that the "word of sin is restriction. " It is very curious; they seem to be looking for one another, or for something, all the time, constantly hurrying about. But they knock up against one another and yet will not see one another, or …

But the name of this polity is Choronzon,1 mob rule, unless every individ­ ual is absolutely disciplined to serve his own, and the common, purpose without friction. 1 [See Liber 418, Tenth Aithyr.] 2 [Matthew 18:9, Mark 9:47.] It is of course better to expel or destroy an irreconcilable. “If thine eye offend thee, cut it out.”1 2 The error in the interpreta­ tion of this doctrine has been that it has not been taken as…

…r. I should have been only too glad to have one; but I might as well have looked for a snowball in hell. Eventually they dug up a person named Johnny White. He was the first Chinese with whom I had been in direct permanent connection; and I was highly amused to discover that his Chinese name had been Ah Sin. He had been brought up from infancy at the Wesleyan Mission at Mandalay. As a servant he had the defect that he was continually drunk on arrack and opium. As an interpreter, one, he spoke no Chinese; two, he spoke no English. It was with th…

Hadith! Ra-Hoor- Khuith! before the Dyad. By addition ariseth Eleven, the number of True Magick: and by multiplication Three Hun- dred, the Number of the Holy Spirit or Fire, the letter Shin, wherein all things are consumed utterly.
