THE EQUINOX peal of unextinguishable laughter, but begged to know what was its cause, that he might laugh too. I could only cry out that my right leg was a tin case filled with stair-rods, and as I limped along, keeping that member perfectly rigid, both from fear of cracking the metal and the difficulty of bending it, I heard the rattle of the brazen contents shaken from side to side with feelings of the most supreme absurdity possible to the human soul. Presently the leg was restored to its former state, but in the interim its mate had grown t…

THE EQUINOX The twelve disciples felt that something was going to happen, but knew not what. An awful feeling overcame their will; they dared not move. Then, suddenly, the twelve of them jumped up and fell on the floor, curling themselves, howling with intense pain and agony, all in a sweat, their bodies aching with all the torments of Fire. They could hear the old man, by his table, cursing them and hitting the wax figures with the hot poker, haphazard, careless of the spot where he struck; but he struck them all equally. The contortions of th…

THE EQUINOX with a concentrated mind and stop the upward and downward course of the Prana by Jalandhara Bandha, Resting his body upon his palms placed upon the ground, he should strike the ground softly with his posteriors. By this the Prana, leaving Ida and Pingala, goes through the Sushumna. . . . The body assumes a death-like aspect. Then he should breathe out.* 5. Khechari Mudra. The Yogi sitting in the Vajrasana (Siddhdsana) posture, should firmly fix his gaze upon Ajna, and reversing the tongue backwards, fix it in the hollow under the ep…

THE EQUINOX eyeless face, strained and swollen. And with the Magic sword I pierce through his armour to his breast. He fell back, say- ing: Each of these my scars was thus made, for I am the warden of the aethyr. And he would have said more; but I cut him short, saying: expound the word of the Abyss. And he said: Discipline is sorrowful and ploughing is laborious and age is weariness. Thou shalt be vexed by dispersion. But now, if the sun arise, fold thou thine arms; then shall God smite thee into a pillar of salt. Look not so deeply into words…

THE EQUINOX and I would not harm thee.’ So also are they who wish well unto the Masters of the Pyramid. And the bee said unto the flower: ‘Give me of thine honey,’ and the flower gave richly thereof; but the bee, though he wit it not, carried the seed of the flower into many fields of sun. So also are they that take unto themselves the Masters of the Pyramid for servants. Now the exceeding light that was behind the Pyramid, and the Rosy Cross that is set thereon, hath fulfilled the whole Aire. The black Pyramid is like the back of a black diamo…

THE EQUINOX the initiator or the man of genius whose eternal destiny is to be killed by those whom he initiates. The disciple does not become the living realization of the thoughts of the Master until he has drunk his blood and eaten his flesh, to use the energetic and allegorical expression of the initiator, so ill understood by Christians. The conception of the primitive alphabet was, as one may easily see, the idea of a universal language which should enclose in its combinations, and even in its signs themselves, the recapitulation and the e…

THE EQUINOX great Catholic Count Joseph de Maistre so well understood ; this is why the penalty of death is a natural right, and will never disappear from human laws. The stain of murder would be indelible if God did not justify the scaffold ; the divine power, abdicated by society and usurped by criminals, would belong to them without dispute. Assassination would then become a virtue when it exercised the reprisals of outraged nature. Private vengeance would protest against the absence of public expiation, and from the splinters of the broken …

THE EQUINOX thing should be enjoyed to the full, but always with the reservation that the absence of the thing enjoyed shall not cause regret. This is too hard for the beginner, and in many cases it is necessary for him to abandon pleasures in order to prove to himself that he is indifferent to them, and it may be occasionally advisable even for the Adept to do this now and again. Of course during periods of actual concentra- tion there is no time whatever for anything but the work itself; but to make even the mildest asceticism a rule of life …

The first edition of "The Equinox" tends to fall apart at the touch! the hovels of the vermin that surround it.

THE EQUINOX because it is “too much”; if he does not obtain it he con- tinues to grunt and to growl, and the more he growls and grunts the more slavish he becomes, yet the freer he considers himself. Once born he is carefully swaddled in the rags of Custom, rocked in the cradle of Caste, and nursed on the soured milk of Creed. And as with the individual so with the nation, the one or the many, it is taught to work its way into one narrow groove, and like the water in a drain or a gutter to flow for a time unobtrusively between dignified cobbles…
