… ail strange to the scribe; yet years later he discovered the “Lest Word” of one of his own Orders; it was 93 also. The Word of His most holy Order proved equally to count up not entirely beyond possibility. This theory is telepathy. One may postulate that the solution of his problem existed in the subconscious minci of the Master Therion or in that of His seer, and that this solution was telepathi- cally impressed upon the consciousness of the Assyrian so forcibly as to impel him to communicate it to the Master Therion’s colîeague on The Inter…

…ness and imbecility when the whim takes him. True souls would never seek so ignoble a means of manifesting in earth-life; their ways are holy, and in accord with Nature. While the true soul reincarnates as a renunciation, a sacrifice of its divine life and ecstasy for the sake of redeeming those who are not yet freed from mortal longings, the demon seeks incarnation as a means of gratifying unslaked lusts. Like a dumb beast in pain, the wife of Douglas watched her husband go through his ghastly ritual, with averted face, as is prescribed; for n…

…t of a well- meaning stranger. It should go without saying that until the Magician has attained to the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel he is liable to endless déceptions. He does not know Himself; how can he explain his business to others ? How can those others, though they do their best for him, aid in anything but tri fies ? One must therefore be prepared for dis- appointment at every stage until one attains to adeptship. This is especially true of divination, because the essence of the horror of not knowing one’s Angel …

Thus though Nuit cries “To me!”, that is balanced by the Formula of Hadit: ‘“Come unto me’ is a foolish word; for it is I that go.” Now the Semen is God (the going-one, as shewn by the ankh or Sandal-strap, which He carries) because he goes in at the Door, stays there for a specified period, and comes out 1:62, 65 11:7

Their dark profoundest thought Was less than She I sought, It was as nought ! I drew my soul, I dived beneath the burning lake. Thrice, in the vault of Hell, my Word was born, Abortive, in the empty wilderness. False echoes, made malicious, turn to scorn The awful accents, the Supreme address. The Fourth, the final word ! All chaos shrank and heard The terror that…

She is for me the avatar of sin, Sidonia the Sorceress. The one unpardonable wickedness, Strange serpent-blasphemies, are curled within The heart of her Hell gives me to possess. Her hair is fastened with a dagger thin ; A dead man’s heart is woven with each tress. I murdered Christ before my lips could win Sidonia the Sorceress. THE GROWTH OF GOD.

For not the heights of heaven shall exalt her Whose heart is full of love’s dumb deity, Nor harp-strings lift me, nor the sound of psalter, Whose love is merged and molten into thee, Not incense sweeter be by shrine or altar For youandme..........

For our God is as a fire That consumeth every one That is underneath the sun.

Others may indeed be chaste unto Artemis, priestesses of a holy and ineffable rite; but with this exception, failure to attain the appointed goal brings them into the dark side of the moon, the cold and barren house of Hecate the accursed. It will be seen how wide is the range of these ideas, how sensitive is the formula of woman, that can touch such extremes, springing often from one to the other in a moment — according to the nature of the influence then at work upo…
