It is absolutely essential to begin a magical diary, and keep it up daily. You begin by an account of your life, going back even before your birth to your ancestry. In conformity with the practice which you may perhaps choose to adopt later, given in Liber Thisharb sub figura CMXIII, paragraphs 27-38, Magick, pp. 420-422, you must find an answer to the question: "How did I come to be in this place at thi…

How can anyone read Mr. Crowley’s line, ‘ With winds and white seas for your raiment,’ without recalling a better line in a better known Epilogue, ‘ With stars and seawinds in her raiment.’ We like Mr. Crowley’s poems on Cambridge, although, not being ourselves involved in a crusade against ill odours, we cannot fully s…

It will now be recognised that to devise a practical magical ceremony to correspond to Tetragrammaton in this exalted sense might be difficult if not impossible. In such a ceremony the Rituals of purification alone might occupy many incarnations.

Then did my Instructor point with a little wand to a great chart not wholly filled, and there came the shadow of a man's hand, and drew the image of a Lion at the end of the writing. Above this parchment, which was partly furled, was a square tablet of white marble, on which, inlaid in gold, I read these characters about the Image of an Eye within a radiant Triangle.
