So on arriving in F Aleister Crowley lured Mathers into telling the story, which was as follows: That he and Allan Bennett had disagreed upon an obscure point in theology, thereby formulating the accursed Dyad, thereby enabling the Abramelin demons to assume material form : one in his own shape, another in that of Allan Bennett. Now, the demon that looked like…

…ism, and leads to the Left-hand Path. You say: “I object to my wife being run over by a motor-car,” and think you are stating an Eternal Truth. Now no elephant in Siam cares whether she is run over or not. Say then: “It is (relatively to V.I.O.) right that he should object, etc., etc.” Use this analysis with all emotions. Don’t allow yourself to think that your own point of view is the only one. Read Liber LXV. Cap I 32-40 and 57-61.

The atmosphere of Mr. Wilkinson’s new book, despite the brightness and insouciance of the manner and the lightness of the incident, is one of the most tragic gloom.

Golden and fragrant as the morn, Painted like flames adorning Hell, Passions and mysteries outworn, Ever enchanting, ever wise, And terror in her wondrous eyes ! Her fascination steals my strength, Her luxury lures me as she comes ; Reache…

Thus I beheld the truth: ye are stars that give me light ; But I read you aright and learn I am walk- ing in the night. Then I turned mine eyes away to the Light that is above you: The answering splendid Dawn arose, and I did not love you. I saw the breaking light, and the clouds fled far away: It was the resurrection of the Golden Star of Day.
