Jephthah and Other Mysteries

…eyes are wed, And fire of fire enflowers the sacred head Of mingling passion, through the silent sleep Where love sobs out its life, and new loves leap To being, through the dawn of all new things, There burns an angel: whose amazing wings Wave in the sunbright air, whose lips of flame Chant the almighty music of One Name, Whose perfume fills the silent atmosphere, Whose passionate melodies caress the ear; An angel, strong and eloquent, aloud Cries to the earth to lift the final shroud, And, having burst Faith’s coffin, to lay by The winding-sh…

…incident. He happened to be momentarily hard up and conceived the really brilliant idea of concocting a fable that his German girl was a new Sappho. He made her copy out a number of poems from my Collected Works and sent her round to Putnam's to persuade them to publish the really remarkable work of this romantic young American beauty rose. The girl told his wife in bed one night, they having found a bond of common sympathy in their contempt and loathing for "The Worm" as we had familiarly called him. She told me at once, and I have every reaso…

I can go on for ever, an you list — Now, now! O no! I will not. O my lover! Spare me! Enough! Take pity! Mutely moans Your mouth in little sobs and calls and cries And catches of the breath, whose bliss atones In once for all the long-drawn agonies.

Eliphaz Levi was a master‐ scholar, and knew the true attributions; but his grade in the Great White Brotherhood was only 6°=5° (Adeptus Major); and he had no instructed foresight of the New Aeon. He did in‐ deed hope to find a Messiah in Napoleon III; but of the complete spiritual upheaval which ac‐ companies the Proclamation of a new Magical Formula he had no glimpse; no, not though he had Maistre Alcofribas Nasier to guide him!1 Dr. Gérard Encauss…

…n Yarker. These historical data are necessary to explain why all previous packs are of little more than archaeological interest; for the New Aeon demanded a new system of symbolism. Thus, in particular, the old conception of the Earth as a passive, immobile, even dead, even “evil” element, had to go. It was imperative to restore the King‐Scale colour attribution to that of the Aeon of Isis, Emerald Green, as was understood by the Egyptian Hierophants. This green is, however, not the original vegetable green of Isis, but the new green of spring …

CONCERNING THE LAW OF THELEMA An Epistle written to Professor L—— B—— K—— who also himself waited for the New Zon, concerning the O.T.O. and its solution of divers problems of Human So- ciety, particularly those concerning Property, and now reprinted for General Circulation. My Dear Sir,— Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I was glad to receive your letter of inquiry with regard to the Mes- sage of the Master Therion.

The first thing that strikes him is the High Cost Of Living, and he has- tens to offer his wife to the first comer. A friendly agreement is reached in con- ference by which a divorce shall be obtained, and a new marriage contracted with Alice’s new lover. I forget the disposition of the children, whether it was odd man out, or the first Jack, who had to look after the business. But, thr…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

113 23 I think it was on the sixth of July that I reached New York. In those days one was not bored by people who had never seen a real skyline boasting of the outrage since perpetrated by the insects. A mountain skyline is nearly always noble and beautiful, being the result of natural forces acting uniformly and in conformity with law. Thus, though it is not designed, it is the embodiment of the principles which are inherent in design. New York, on the other hand, has been thrown up by a series of disconnected accidents. The vanity of the nati…

THE NEW WINE 275 What God is in Himself the Agnostic declares is not given man to understand , much less to discuss , and this maxim finds full affirmation in “ Ascension Day, " when Crowley writes : I deny nothing —at the term It is just Nothing I affirm . Man is but an ephemeron : We float upon the blue Like sunlight specks in dew , And like the moonlight on the lake we lie .? Yet he rises : Golden , the electric spark of man is drawn Deep in the bosom of the world , to soar New - fledged , an eagle to the dazzling dawn With lidless eyes unda…

… of the Grade is that its possessor utters a Creative Magical Word, which transforms the planet on which he lives by the installation of new officers to preside over its initiation. This can take place only at an “Equinox of the Gods” at the end of an “Aeon”; that is, when the secret formula which expresses the Law of its action becomes outworn and useless to its further development. (Thus “Suckling” is the formula of an infant: when teeth appear it marks a new “Aeon”, whose “Word” is “Eating”). A Magus can therefore only appear as such to the …

White Stains

110 WITH DOG AND DAME We wake her passion, either one Licking each pouting pair of lips Till new sweet streams of nectar run. ’ Tis Autumn, and the dying breeze Murmurs “ embrace ”; the moon replies “ Embrace ” ; the soughing of the trees Calls us to linger loverwise, And drain our passion to the lees. ’ Tis Autumn. The belated dove Calls through the beeches, that bestir Themselves to kiss the skies above, As I will kiss with him and her. Leave us, sweet Autumn, to our love.
