The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

LIBER CORDIS CINCTI SERPENTE 52. O Thou Son of a light-transcending mother, blessed be Thy name, and the Name of Thy Name, throughout the ages! 53. Behold! I am a butterfly at the Source of Creation; let me die before the hour, falling dead into Thine infinite stream! 54.

Thou art beautiful and bitter, O golden one, O my Lord Adonai, O thou Abyss of S…

…se ” ; hence the phrase, Az matla’ ta mak- ta’, “ from beginning to end.” In the Makta’, or close, the poet manages to introduce his own name, or rather his assumed or poetic name, called the Takhallus, though few of the older poets paid strict attention to this rule previous to the time of Hakim Sanayi, between A.D. 1150 and 1180. Anwari occasionally introduces his own name in his Ghazals, but it is the exception and not the rule in his case.

For Koré they have called her, and Malkah, and Betulah, and Persephone. And the poets have feigned songs about her, and the prophets have spoken vain things, and the young men have dreamed vain dreams; but this is she, that immaculate, the name of whose name may not be spoken. Thought cannot pierce the glory that defendeth her, for thought is smitten dead before her presence. …

…ice with regard to which the Adepts hâve always maintained the most profound secrecy. It is the suprême mystery of practical Magick. Its name is the Formula of the Rosy Cross. In this case the victim is always — in a certain sense — the Magician himself, and the sacrifice must coïncide with the utterance of the most sublime and secret name of the God whom he wishes to invoke. Properly performed, it never fails of its effect. But it is difficult for the beginner to do it satisfactorily, because it is a great effort for the mind to remain concent…

He is called the radiance of Thoth; and this Aethyr is very hard to understand, for the images form and dissolve more rapidly than lightning. These images are the illusions ma…
