Magick in Theory and Practice (Section 1)

…or a Brassie under the bank of a bunker. But also, the use of any club demands skill and expérience.) (24) Every man has an indefeasible right to be what he is. (Illustration: To insist that any one else shall comply with one’s own standards is to outrage, not only him, but oneself, since both parties are equally born of necessity.) (25) Every man must do Magick each time that he acts or even thinks, since a thought is an internai act whose influence ultimately affects action, though it may not do so at the time. (Illustration: The least gestur…

Magick Without Tears

…etermined by the impulse itself, without reference to any other motives such as commonly influence action. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy Will. Every thought, word, or act without exception is subject to this law. "Do what thou wilt" does not give license to do anything else; lest this be not understood, the doctrine is here explicit: "Thou hast no right but to do thy will. " Every particle of energy must be built into this single-track machine of will; directly or indirectly, it must serve the one purpose. A very small hole …

Diary of a Drug Fiend

Towards Madness 219 I made him take two or three sniffs of snow. That put him right, and now he’s gone off to the inn. I’m very glad to be alone. I always felt those servants were spying. The house is delightfully quiet. As I write there are two beautiful people looking over my shoulder. They have been sent to watch over me and guide me, and prepare me for the great destiny which is in store for me. Here comes Peter with the waiter and a tray. I must hide this book. The secrets of the spiritual life must be kept from the profane. It’s all right…

An Open Letter to Lord Beaverbook

…tor’s lie has wrought the havoc, and more. In France, my Lord, as you are doubtless aware, any man attacked in a newspaper has the legal right to reply in its columns, and his reply must be printed in the same type and in the same place as the original attack. This law is admirably just and wise. Its effect has been to put a complete stop, in France, to this plague of anonymous defamation, whether used as the instrument of journalistic blackmail, or simply as a form of profitable sensationalism. The present case shows how a man of letters, unpr…

I didn't go for to do it. You're quite right: the Tree of Life is like that, in appearance. But that is the wrong way to look at it. We get our number two, for example, as "that which is common to a bird's legs, a man's ears, twins, the cube root of eight, the greater luminaries, the spikes of a pitchfork," etc., but having got it, we must not go on to argue that the numb…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

322 am not exhausted after all this, as I was yesterday. Is this a proof that all is Right Magick, or that little force was expended? Where am I, in fact? O Holy Exalted One, do Thou illuminate my mind! {524} 59 I left Shanghai on the twenty-first of April. On the twenty-second I was sick and stayed in bed all day. I did no regular invocation, but thought over the recent crisis. I dismissed the Shanghai experience as a morbid dream. Reading through the above record at this distance of time, after deliberately avoiding doing so for so long, I fe…

Transmute all wholly into the Image of thy Will, bringing each to its true token of Perfection. Dis­ solve the Pearl in the Wine­cup; drink, and make manifest the Virtue of that Pearl.

…sation, and never mentioned what it is when it's at home, or why anyone should perform it, or what happens when one does perform it! All right, I will remedy that; luckily, it is a very simple matter; very important, perfectly paradoxical, and devastatingly effective. Analysed, it is to make the assumption that something which seems very wrong is actually all right, that an eager wish is an accomplished fact, a reasonable anxiety, entirely unfounded-and to act accordingly. For instance, I'm in some desolate place, dependent for my food supply o…
