…din made him so, Evoked the strength, the goodliness, the glow. The form is little: in the mind there dwells Force to avail the childish heart that swells With aught that is. The golden prime is past— Aye! but a nobler gain is ours at last Who see man weary, but within our span The perfect promise of the overman. FAUNESSE. THE veil o’ th’ mist of the quiet wood is lifted to the seer’s gaze; He burns athwart the murky maze beyond into beatitude. A solemn rapture holds the faun: an holy joy sucks up the secr Within its rose-revolving sphere, the …

… bound with iron, My voice disarm ye, The gate is in three For I am the soul overshadowed of Pillars of gold, pain ! But I will pass (My heart as a lion, Hail to ye, wardens My lyre as a key !) Of Death’s grey gardens ! To the gates of old, O flowerless and vineless your bower- To the place of despair less vale ! And the walls of dread, But I must alone The halls of the doomed, To the wonderful throne. The homes of the dead, Let fall the vain spears, shadows! The houses where Hailto ye! Hail! The beautiful air Is as air entombed. The phantoms d…

…D WITCHES. By WILL H. OGILVIE. 4th edition. 1s. Elkin Mathews. A great deal of Mr. Ogilvie’s verse rings true, an honest sensitive Scots heart in this brave world of ours. If he rarely—perhaps never—touches the summit of Parnassus, at least he is always on the ridge. A.C AN INTRODUCTION TO THE KaBaLaH. By W. WyNN WESTCOTT. John M. Watkins. It is difficult to find words in which to praise this little book. It is most essential for the beginner. Lucid and illuminating, it is also illuminated. In particular, we are most pleased to find the correla…

…y, will enable serious aspirants to the hidden Wisdom to understand (with fair accuracy) what Lao-tze taught. It must however be laid to heart that the essence of his system will inevitably elude intellectual apprehension, unless it be illuminated from above by actual living experience of the truth. Such experience is only to be attained by unswerving application to the practices which he advocates. Nor must the aspirant content himself with the mere attainment of spiritual enlightenment, however sublime. All such achievements are barren unless…

…rrible thing— I found I was simply telling myself ‘I love him so much.” Love is dead. And yet that’s not true. I do love him with all my heart and soul; and yet, somehow, I can’t. I want to be able to love until I get back. Oh, what’s the good of talking about it! I know I love him, and yet I know I can’t love any one. , I took a whole lot of cocaine. It dulled what I felt. I was able to fancy I loved him. We went to the show. It was awfully stupid. I was thinking all the time how I wanted to love, and how I wanted dope, and how I wanted to sto…

…the far flat land, Know never more the day and night apart, Know not where frost has laid his iron hand, Save only that it fastens on my heart ; Save only that it grips with icy fire These veins no fire of hell could satiate ; Save only that it quenches this desire. Let me pass out beyond the city gate.’ We should like to give other examples, but we can only name some of those pieces that seem to us the most remarkable. Such are ‘ An Ill Dream,’ of which the glowing imagery seizes and holds fast the vagueness of shifting impressions ; a ‘ Farew…

O matchless Apollo That granted the tune ! Time’s children follow The strings that commune With Nature well cloven that comes to the lyre’s lilt silver-hewn. O bays of the wind, And shoreland of Thrace! O beaten and blind In the light of my face !

transcendent Truth of the Beloved to the heart that holds him. The firm répétition of one of these Words ought to enable the Adept to maintain the State of Union for several minutes, even at first. In any case he must rekindle his ardour, esteeming his success rather as an encouragement to more ardent aspiration than as a triumph. He should increase his efforts. Let him beware of the “lust of resuit”, of expecting too much, of losing courage if his first success is followed by a sériés of failures. For success makes success seem so incredible t…

called Atmadarshana might arise from simple concentration of the thought on an imagined triangle or on the heart. But as the union of two bodies in chemistry may be endothermie or exothermic, the combination of Oxygen with Nitrogen is gentle, while that of Oxygen with Hydrogen is explosive 5 and as it is found that the most heat is disengaged as a rule by the union of bodies most opposite in character, and that the compound resulting from such is most stable, so it seems reasonable to suggest that the most important and enduring Samadhi results…

…s majority of mankind have no idea what ever of taking Love as a sacred and serious thing, of using the eye of the microscopist, or the heart and brain of the artist. Their ignorance and their shame have made Love a carcass of pesti lence; and Love has avenged the outrage by crushing their lives when they pull down the temple upon them. The chance of finding a suitable object of Love has been reduced well nigh to zero by substituting for the actual condi tions, as stated in the above paragraphs, a totally artificial and irrelevant series; th…

…false Knowledge; they must be “cast away” or “purged”. The Schools of Initiation must be reformed. 6. I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death. Commentary: It follows that, as Hadit can never be known, there is no death. The death of the individual is his awakening to the impersonal immortality of Hadit. This applies less to physical death than to the Crossing of the Abyss; for which see Liber 418, Fourteenth /Eth…
