… the soul and make one lifelong spinthria1 unassuaged in the imagination like Aubrey Beardsley, the means matter no whit. Bach takes one way, Keats one, Goya one. The end is everything: that by the act, what ever it is, one worships, loves, possesses, and becomes Nuit. 1 [“Seeing stars,” or spintherism, from omi^rip, “sparks.”] 2 [Shakespeare, Macbeth i, 7.] The act of love can no more “trammel up the consequence”1 2 than any other act. As long as you possess the talisman, it must be used from time to time, whether you will or no. If you injur…

AMPHORA V HE shadows fall about the way ; Strange faces glimmer in the gloom ; The soul clings feebly to the clay. For that, the void ; for this, the tomb ! But Mary sheds a blessed light ; Her perfect face dispels the fears. She charms Her melancholy knight Up to the glad and gracious spheres. O Mary, like a pure perfume Do thou receive this failing breath, And with Thy starry lamp illume The darkling corridors of death ! Amen. T 7

I know not; but the aching dream still stays, Burning me up to death; the cool, strong death, Even death I shall slay in the cool, strong colonnades: I shall bear the Rose of life to the heart of death. And death shall lead me back to the shadowy river, The murmuring waters shall mock me then no more. I shall know, and knowing I shall strive again, Shall ever strive until the petals fall…

58 Do Angels Ever Cut Themselves Shaving? Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. A very witty way to put it! "Do angels ever cut themselves shaving?" Rem au tetigisti, again. (English: you big tease?) What sort of existence, what type or degree of reality, do we attribute to them? (By angel, of course, you mean any celestial-or infernal-being such as are listed in the Hierarchy, from Metatron and Ratziel to Lilith and Nahema.) We read of them, for the most part, as if they were persons-although of another order of being; a…

72 he would tell you that the “ether,” which cannot be perceived in any way by any of the senses, or detected by any instruments, and which possesses qualities which are, to use ordinary language, impossible, is very much more real than the chair he is sitting on. The chair is only one fact; and its existence is testified by one very falliole person. The ether is the necessary deduction from millions of facts, which have been verified again and again and checked by every pos- sible test of truth. There is therefore no ὰpriori reason for rejecting…

It is this Fine Body which bindeth it to the Astral, as did the Gross to he Material World so then it accomplisheth willingly the Sacrament of a second Death and leaveth the Body of Light. But the Mind, cleaveth closely, by Right of its Harmony, and Might of its Love, to its Star, resisteth the Ministers of Disruption, for a Season, according to its Streng…

THE WIZARD WAY 33 Sweeter than the bee-sweet showers In the chalice of the flowers, More intoxicating than All the purple grapes of Pan. Ah ! my proper lips are stilled. Only, all the world is filled With the echo, that drips over Like the honey from the clover. Passion, penitence, and pain Seek their mothers womb again, And are born the triple treasure, Peace and purity and pleasure. Hush, my child, and come aloft Where the stars are velvet soft !

I expressed surprise; but he said that he had felt so much better he thought he might as well come down, but it had been a long and terrible day. He had started at dawn. This was absurd, as it was only a couple of hours' easy walking from the hut. Ah yes, he said, but he had come down over the snout of the glacier and he had had to cut steps all the way --- no more glissading for him! This story was again rat…

THE GODS 467 How restore faith in the Gods? There is only one way; we must get to know them personally. And that , of course, is one of the principal tasks of the Magician. One further remark. I have suggested that all these "identical" gods are in reality distinct persons , but belonging to the same families. Can we follow up this line of thought? Yes: but I will defer it to a subsequent letter. Love is the law, love under will. Fraternally, 666
