THE EQUINOX so that one comes back so often. An acentric meditation practice like mahasatipatthana ought to be done before invo- cations of the Holy Guardian Angel, so that the ego may be very ready to yield itself utterly to the Beloved. And now the breeze is blowing about us, like the sighs of love unsatisfied—or satisfied. His lips move. I cannot say the words at first. And afterwards: “Shalt thou not bring the children of men to the sight of my glory? ‘Only thy silence and thy speech that worship me avail.’ ‘For as I am the last, so am I th…

THE EQUINOX is the cry of victory with which intelligence triumphs over darkness. This word is sublime in effect because it expresses simply the greatest and most marvellous thing in the world: the creation of intelligence by itself, when, calling its powers together, balancing its faculties, it says: I wish to immor- talize myself with the sight of the eternal truth. Let there be light! and there is light. Light, eternal as God, begins every day for all eyes that are open to see it. Truth will be eternally the invention and the creation of gen…

If we take an example, the use of the tables will become clear. Let us suppose that you wish to obtain knowledge of some obscure science. In column xlv1, line 12, you will find “Knowledge of Sciences.” By now looking up line 12 in the other columns, you will find that the Planet corresponding is Mercury, its number eight, its lineal figures the octagon and octagra…

THE EQUINOX are unfavourably placed to observe this, desperately clinging as we are to the bob of the pendulum, sick with our senseless swinging to and fro in the abyss ! We must climb up the shaft to reach that point—but— wait one moment! How obscure and subtle has our simile become! Can we attach any true meaning to the phrase? I doubt it, seeing what we have taken for the limits of the swing. True, it may be that at the end the swing is always 360° so that the !-point and the ?-point coincide; but that is not the same thing as having no swin…

THE EQUINOX a few Occult books, he sailed for Canada, alone, to start again in new and unploughed fields. Section III. Jury 25, 1910, TO APRIL 30, 1911 The next entry in his diary is dated July 25th, 1910. It is a general confession of the previous six months. Half of his year of Probation had passed away, and he has not reported to, or received any communication from, the Order. He laments his negligence in this respect, but writes: “Yet know I well that I alone have suffered and shall suffer from this negligence, and I must humbly take any re…

Any injury done by any person without the Order to any person within it may be brought before the Grand Tri- bunal, which will, if it deem right and fit, use all its power to redress or to avenge it. 30. In the case of any Brother being accused of an offence against the criminal law of the country in which he resides, so that any other Brother cognisant of the fact feels bound in self-defence to bring accusation, he shall report the mat- ter to the Grand Tribunal as well as to the Civil Authority, claiming exemption on this grou…

Another prophet shall arise, and bring fresh fever from the skies; another woman shall awake the lust & wor ship of the Snake; another soul of God and beast shall min gle in the globed priest; another sacrifice shall stain the tomb; another king shall reign; and blessing no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed mystical L…

THE EQUINOX “ From where I had been standing I was led to the Northern entrance, where crowded a great concourse of people, and as I approached them they gave way before me. Then a voice whispered to me ‘Smite’; thereupon, drawing my sword with fury I smote three times, upon which a great wailing arose. “Having smitten down many with those three blows, I descended among them, but left my sword behind me. Thinking I had forgotten it, in vain I tried to return, and in my strivings was of a sudden armed with many potent lightnings; then at my feet…

THE EQUINOX shall beget the day succeeding.” With increasing rapidity they sang in this way, day by day, the genealogy of a thousand years, and I traced on the successive generations, without a break in one link, until the rush of their procession reached a rapidity so awful as fully to typify eternity itself; and still I fled on through that burning genesis of cycles. I feel that I do not convey my meaning, but may no one else ever under- stand it better. Withered like a leaf in the breath of an oven, after millions of years I felt myself toss…

THE EQUINOX The little gate is guarded by a great green dragon. And now the whole wall is suddenly fallen away; there is a blaze of the chariots and the horsemen; a furious battle is raging. One hears nothing but the clash of steel and the neighing of the chargers and the shrieks of the wounded. A thousand fall at every encounter and are trampled under foot. Yet the Aethyr is always full; there are infinite reserves. No; that is all wrong, for this is not a battle between two forces, but a mélée in which each warrior fights for himself against …

THE EQUINOX is eternal. The sun burns him as he writhes naked upon the sands of hell, and the wind cuts him bitterly to the bone, a harsh dry wind, so that he is sore athirst. Give unto me, I pray thee, one drop of water from the pure springs of Paradise, that I may quench my thirst. (The Scribe refused.) Sprinkle water upon my head. I can hardly go on. (This last was spoken from the triangle in the natural voice of the Frater, which Choronzon again simulated. But he did not succeed in taking the Frater’s form—which was absurd! The Scribe resis…

THE EQUINOX the mockery of the normal man, even when these normal men are as witty as this or that editor of this or that comic journal. These phenomena of the light which produce apparitions always appear at epochs when humanity is in labour. They are phantoms ofthe delirium of the world-fever; it is the hysteria of a bored society. Virgil tells us in fine verse that in the time of Caesar Rome was full of spectres; in the time of Vespasian the gates of the Temple of Jerusalem opened of themselves, and a voice was heard crying, “‘ The gods depa…
