THE FATAL FORCE 35 Sweet to thy nostrils! For three times I cast Its faint dust in the tripod, and three times The smoke of adoration has gone up To greet our gods; for the old gods are dead.” Then there came forth a leper in the hall, In the most holy temple. So amazed All shrank. And he made prophecy and said: “The child that shall be born of thee is called Fear. He shall save a people from their sin; For the old gods indeed go down to death, But the new gods arise from rottenness.” Then said the goddess: “I indeed am pure In my impurity ; im…

Water trickles from the two flowers into the two central cups, and they drip into the two lowest without filling them. The background of the card shows pools, or lagoons, in very extensive country, incapable of cultivation; only disease and miasmatic poison can flourish in those vast Bad Lands.

He kneels for a space in adoration, with joined hands, knuckles closed, thumb in position aforesaid. He rises, and draws the veil over the whole altar. All rise and stand to order. The PRIEST takes the lance from the DEacon, and holds it as before, as Osiris or Pthah. He cir- cumambulates the Temple three times, followed by the DEacon and the children as before.

…e circle, or the circle may be glyphed as a serpent. Time and space and the idea of causality are sometimes represented; so also are the three stages in the history of philosophy, in which the three objects of study were successively Nature, God, and Man. The duality of consciousness is also sometimes represented; and the Tree of Life itself may be figured therein, or the categories. An emblem of the Great Work should be added. But the Pantacle will be im- perfect unless each idea is contrasted in a balanced manner with its opposite, and unless…

…of Gods, angels, demons and the rest, as shown by their peculiar faculties , stamps them all instantly as Beings pertaining to more than three dimensions! Just as no number of lines is enough to produce the smallest plane, as a cube is capable of containing an infinite number of squares, so, far from there being no room for heaven, there is absolutely nothing but room! Yet of course the nature of that space is forever incomprehensible, nay inconceivable, by any being of a lower dimension . Only when we have succeeded in uniting our Conscious (t…

See the three meditative methods in Liber HHH (Equinox VI).1 At the same time, one would not like to deny positively that it is very much easier to take some idea towards which the mind would naturally flow.

Gerard Aumont's promised essay;! it was originally called The Three Schools of Magick. (Don't be cross, please, because it is not in the form of a personal letter!)
