THE EQUINOX in his turn, would restore the missing skin. She even consented to his cutting some gashes in her flanks and shoulders that he might more easily retain his hold; so the mariner, leaving his perilous position, started on his scarcely less perilous voyage through the storm. But at length Gioga landed him safely, and he, for his part, kept the bargain and restored the skin of her son, so that there was great rejoicing on the Skerry that night. There is one other story of particular interest, in that it contains features not generally f…

THE EQUINOX and alighted upon the opposite shore. There he secured his end of the straw bridge and made ready to receive his fellow trows as they crossed. At length a start was made and all the trows were soon upon the rope, but just as they reached the middle, he who was in charge at the Stromness end let go his hold, and the whole company of fairies were thrown into the sea, dragging Hempie along with them in their descent. And the sea, being rough at the time, overwhelmed them all, so that every one was drowned. When he who had caused the ca…

THE EQUINOX and myriads of little spheres, which he feels are in Reality one Great Ocean if he could only make them unite. Each stage above him is his Ultimate goal for the time being. Possessing one little sphere, his one and only object is to unite it to another, or another to it; not two others, not to the whole, but only to that Ove Other. For the time being (let it appear as if it were for all time to the initiate), that Oxe Other is God and Very God—the Omega of his quest, and that a// others are Devils that would tempt and seduce him.

THE EQUINOX called Pranayama. And thus it is that we find the Yogi saying that he who can control the Prana can control the Universe. To the perfect man there can be nothing in nature that is not under his control. If he orders the gods to come, they will come at his bidding. . . . All the forces of nature will obey him as his slaves, and when the ignorant see these powers of the Yogi, they call them miracles.* PRANAYAMA The two nerve currents Pingala and Ida correspond to the sensory and motor nerves, one is afferent and the other efferent.

For it is more difficult for one who has no natural magical aptitude, and one who perhaps has only just broken away from faith and corrupted ritual, to carry out an operation of Western Magic, than it is for him to sit down and perform a rational exercise, such as the Prandydma exercises of Yoga, which carry with…

No venomous or objectionable beast has yet dared to breathe the air ofthis balmy country. But itis not a deserted spot. The natives are black, but tame and pleasant, and one of my first steps will be to try and bring them into contact with the beauties of our civilisation.

Fortunately for the child’s mental equilibrium, he also spoke of the compensation. “What they mean, boy, when they call you blind, is that you cannot see,” he said; “that is, your eyes have been given unto you by the devil, and not by God. Your father must have been rather a bad fellow, you know. When you hear the women singing at the dance, it is that God has given you your ears; if you didn’t enjoy the sounds…

THE EQUINOX THE SELKIE THAT DEUD NO’ FORGET A long time ago, one Mansie Meur was gathering limpets at the ebb tide, off Hackness, when he heard a strange sound coming from the rocks some distance off. Sometimes it would be like the sob of a woman, and sometimes louder, like the cry of a dying cow, but it was always a most pitiful sound. For a while Mansie could see nothing except a big seal close in to the rocks, who was craning his neck above the surface, and peering at acreek some distance off. And Mansie noticed that the seal was not frighte…
