…fs, he loves all signs of immortality in faith, and of redemption by charity, which is all discipline and obedience. We have just read a book published under the influence of astral and magnetic intoxication, and we have been struck by the anarchical tendencies with which it is filled under a great appearance of benevolence and religion. At the head of this book one sees the symbol, or, as the magi call it, the signature, of the doctrines which it teaches. Instead of the Christian cross, symbol of harmony, alliance and regularity, one sees the …

… in Kam- bhakham for a whole minute without distress. It is true, by the way. I was—and am—in some danger of looking on this Record as a Book; i.e., of emphasising things for their literary effect, and diminishing the importance of others which lend them- selves less obviously. But the answer to this, friend Satan] is that the Canon of Art is Truth, and the Canon of Magic is Truth; my true record will make a good book, and my true book will make a good record. 89

…this account in The Temple of Solomon the King is too clumsy, too overloaded with matter irrelevant to the main purpose, to serve as the book referred to in Lider Legis III. 39. It will form a book of reference for students, but not a popular treatise. Frater Perdurabo was conscious of this difficulty. A further revelation through another messenger was necessary before the matter could be brought to asatisfactory conclusion. It is unnecessary in this place to detail how this came about, as it is quite recent and of too great importance in itsel…

Recent developments hâve enabled Him to correct these conditions, so that this Book (as…
THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 103 Gy De aliquibus Modis Oraculi Petendi (Of some Modes of Seeking an Oracle) Y Son, in all Judgment and Decision is great Deli- cacy, but most in these Matters of the Will. For thou art Advocate as well as Judge, and unless thou have well organized thy Mind thou art Bondslave of Prejudice. For this Cause it is adjuvant to thy Wisdom to call Witnesses that are not of thine own Nature, and to ask Oracles whose Interpretation is bound by fixed rule. This is the Use of the Book TAROT, of the Divination by Earth, or by …

… and at 'em!" First, you must know your correspondences by heart backwards and upside down (air connu) . They are practically all in The Book of Thoth; but "if anyone anything lacks," look for it in 777. Then, get a book on Astrology, the older the better. Raphael's Shilling Handbook is probably enough for the present purpose. Get well into your head what the menu says about the natures of the planets, the influence of the aspects, what is meant by dignities, the scope of the houses, and so on. Dovetail all this with your classical knowledge; t…
…the Hebrew alphabet, Shin, Aleph and Mem, in its three sections. The importance of this symbol is mainly that the Tarot is primarily the Book of Thoth or Tahuti, the Egyptian Mercury. For the understanding of this book it is necessary to learn how to transmute instinctively and automatically every simple symbol into every complex symbol and back again; for only so is it possible to realize the unity and diversity which is the solution of the cosmic problem.

…vel, by the well-known Editor of “Vanity Fair,” has evoked a chorus of praise from the reviewers, and has been one of the most talked-of books of the season. We append a few criticisms : Mr. ALeIster CROWLEY: “ This book is, in truth, a masterpiece ; so intense is the impression that one almost asks, ‘Is this a novel or a confession? Did not Frank Harris perhaps throw the bomb?’ At least he has thrown one now. . . . This is the best novel I have ever read.” The Times: “*The Bomb’ is highly charged with an explosive blend of Socialistic and Anar…

… Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein. ... This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. The author claims to be a messenger of the Lord of the Universe and therefore to…
… an explanation and a demon- stration. That explanation and demonstration, in order to be com- plete, demand a work sufficient to fill a book. That book has been written, and we shall publish it shortly. Here is the title: The Reason of Miracles, or the Devil at the Tribunal of Science. “Why the devil?” Because we have demonstrated by facts what Mr. de Mirville had, before us, incompletely set forth. We say “‘incompletely”; because the devil is, for Mr. de Mirville, a fantastic personage, while for us, it is the misuse of a natural force. A med…
