…s, behind each in the highest worlds, the highest of all.”§ Once logically having crushed out the idea of an individual soul, a personal God and then an impersonal God had to be set aside and with them the idea of a First Cause or Beginning; concerning which question Buddha refused to give an answer. For, he well saw, that the idea of a Supreme God was the greatest of the dog-faced demons that seduced man from the path. “There is no God, and I refuse to discuss what is not!” cries Buddha, “but there is Sorrow and I intend to destroy it.” IfI ca…

THE EQUINOX God of the Christians under the figure of a man with an ass’s head. Christians will shrug their shoulders when they see this knavery, and pray God for the poor ignorants who imagine that they insult them. M. the Count Joseph de Maistre, after having, in one of his most eloquent paradoxes, represented the hangman as a sacred being, and a permanent incarnation of divine justice upon earth, suggested that one should raise to the old man of Ferney a statue executed by the hangman. There is depth in this thought. Voltaire, in effect, als…

Nay, let all light, all things, but cease! Sense is the seal of double rule. The million oracles that run Out of the mouth of God the fool are not myself. To nothing turn! To nothing look! Then, then !—discern Nothing, that one may one remain. So I am paid the horrible pain That these my brothers ordered me. I look upon their brows—I see Signs many and deep of torture past; A star, yon star, true peace at last. (There approach an aged man, riding upon an ass, with a led ass, and a Nubian servant.) The Adept. In the name of God, the One, the Gre…

ELEAZAR., God, Who this day has slumbered not, nor slept ; He only keepeth Israel: Ie is God ! CHORUS. When God uplifted hands to smite, And earth from chaos was unrolled; When skies and seas from blackest night Unfurled, twin sapphires set with gold ; When tumult of the boisterous deep Roared from its slow ungainly sleep, And flocks of heaven were driven to fold; Then rose the walls of Israel steep, For …

I am I!” Her face was black and distorted with sudden passion. “ It‘s quite different to my own experience in many ways,” thought the watcher. ”Yet—is it not the essence of all ordeal, all initiation, that it should be unexpected? Other- wise, the candidate would have passed through the gate before he approached it. Which is absurd." The last word must have been audible. “Absurd!” she cried. “Indeed, it i…

Harold Monro . A beast without a home, a coward, a scourge : God never would have made you , had He not Made me as well to punish and to purge. He, by a ruling immemorial , Is Master of the judges of the land ; My pen inscribes the sentence , but in all He stands behind me, and directs my hand . Should I invent one truthless explanation , Or fail one sacred precedent to keep , I could no more kneel down in adoration I think I could not even eat or sleep . So, in the name of God , on your confession , Thief, I arrest you, that His wrath may fall…

The soul content On earth in his own element Will be content from flesh released. But he who strives to be a beast Or strives to be a god; would gain Long bliss for a few hours of pain, Or struggles for no matter what, Continues. I would rather not. Vv.

THE EQUINOX Magus, the card numbered ι, the first departure from 0, but referred to Beth, 2, Mercury, the god of Wisdom, Magic and Truth. And this Magus has the twofold aspect of the Magician himself and also of the “ Great Magician " described in Liber 418 (EQUINOX, No. V., Special Supplement, p. 144). Now the formula of the mystic is much simpler. Mathematically, it is 1- 1 :0. He is like a grain of salt cast into the sea; the process of dissolution is obviously easier than the shock of worlds which the magician contemplates. “ Sit down, and f…

8 JEZEBEL Her murders and her blasphemies, Her whoredoms, God has paid at last ; Upon my bosom close she lies ; Her carnal spirit holds me fast. My blood, my infamy, my pain, Seal my subjection and her reign. My veins poured out her marriage cup, For holy water her cruel tongue ; For blessing of white hands raised up, These perfumed infamies unsung ; For Gods breath, her sharp tainted breath ; For marriage bed, the bed of death. The hounds that scavenge, fierce and lean, Snarl in the moonlight ; in the sky The vulture hangs, a ghost unclean ; …

…I walk. Man’s darkness is a leathern sheath, Myself the sun-bright sword ! I have no fear, nor doubt, nor sorrow now, For I give Self to God—I give my best Of soul and blood and brain To my poor Art—there comes to me somehow This fact: Man’s work is God made manifest; Life is all Peace again. And Dreams are beyond life. Their wider scope, Limitless Empire o’er the world of thought, Help my desires to press Beyond all stars toward God and Heaven and Hope; And in the world-amazing chase is wrought Somehow—all Happiness.

No longer the sun shall cast shadow, No longer the flower shall lack rain, The word shall be fair as a meadow, And Love know no tincture of pain ; The Glory of God shall be on us, And over the kingdom unpriced The Spirit of Love is upon us, A crucified Christ ! O rapture ! O glory ! O gladness ! When Satan is fled from the …
