The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

…it’s spring— The bitter pangs of the birth of everything, Immortal Matter and the wandering Soul. And they have sought to slay me in the night, Because I am blind, and hear not the dark wings; Because I am a prisoner in the flesh; Because I am mortal, O immortal Rose! 181

…ore, But the Virgin of the Star-drift of the world ! Here in the silence, in the great green woods, Lie thou with me! Slumber with me to-night Under the stars, and the yellow, drifting moon. We will love no more as Syrinx and Pan: Diana! Come unto me, and I will grant the thing Thou cravest! Oh! the foaming milk of the stars ! I bear the red-tipped lilies under the moon ! Rosa Ignota! Ah! the pale moon-flowers, The soft, shy glances, and the virgin unwon ! Oh! the sweet burden of the sunless hours: Love! I amconquered! Nay, love! I have won! O …

The Scented Garden

…ile I beat her with whips of hide. So that she became unconscious ; and her repu- tation was of chastity and prudence.4 Therefore, as to-night is full moon, I will ac- quaint thee with a certain cherry-tree that hangs over a cool reach of Ruknabad. Under its blossom we will sit in our boat and listen to the water. Go therefore and anoint thee with rose ; and besmear thy podex with jasmine mixed with ambergris in oil5 ; for not until the dawn breaks will El Qahar withdraw his member.6

…ere all is darkness, and there are no roads to guide the pilgrim, and the sleuth-hound can no more be seen because of the shadows of the night which obscure all things. And how can one write further about these matters? for those who have been so far and have returned, on account of the darkness saw nothing, therefore they have held their tongues. But there is an old parable which relates how the hound that had tempted man the whole length of his perilous journey, devoured him on the Summit of that Mystic Moun- tain; and how that Ancient DOG wa…

Magick Without Tears

…Isaacs based on the life of one Mr. Jacobs, the Indian Rothschild of two generations ago, financing princes, little wars-everything. One night in Bombay the burden of his wealth broke his nerve; he stood at the window of his hotel, and flung masses of money to the mob. Soon after came a stranger, and said to him, "You have insulted the fourth of the great powers that rule this world; it shall be taken from you." It was so; he lost all. In the end he became, after a fashion, Sannyasi, and died (I suppose) in the usual odour. I thought of this in…

The Star in the West

74 THE STAR IN THE WEST With love more perfect, for its purple root Might blossom outward to the snowy fruit Whose bloom to - night lay sleeping on her breast .' True love , the love of self in the soul of another , the poet paints very beautifully in the following charming lines : Do you recall ? Could I forget ? How once the full moon shone above , Over the houses , and we let Loose rein upon the steeds of love ? How kisses fled to kisses , rain Of fiery dew upon the soul Kindled , till ecstasy was pain ; Desire , delight : and swift control …

Liber Aleph

…oly Invocation. Sekhet our Lady is figured as a lioness, for that She is that Lust of Nuith toward Hadith which is the Fierceness of the Night of the Stars, and their Necessity; whence also is She true Symbol of thine own Hunger of Attainment, the Passion of thy Light to dare all for its Fulfilling. It is then the Possession of this Quality which determineth thy Manhood; for without it thou art not im- pelled to Magick, and thy Will is but the Slave's Endurance and Patience under the Lash. For this Cause, the Bull being of Osiris, was it necess…

…torm-sea of the infinite :) I wist a shapeless figure arise and cover all, its cloak an ancient pall, vaster and older than the skies of night, and blacker than all broken years—aye ! but it grew and held me in its grasp so that I felt its flesh, not clean sweet flesh of man but leprous white, and crawling with innumerable tears like worms, and pains like a sword- severed asp, twitching, and loathlier than all mesh of hates and lusts, defiling ; nor any voice it had, nor any motion, it was infinite in its own world of horror, irredeemably bad a…
