…eaction upon the communicant. Recognizing that its principal sacrament is only one of an infinite number of possible experiments in talismanic magic, the Church has never denied the reality of that Art, but treated its exponents as rivals. She dare not lop the branch on which she sits. On the other hand, the sceptic, finding it impossible to deny the effects of ceremonial consecration, is compelled to refer the cause to "faith"; and sneers that Faith is the real miracle. Whereupon the Church smilingly agrees; but the magician, holding the balan…

Every hour a man hath said ‘‘That at least is scotched and dead.” Some one circumstance: “At last That, and its effects, are past.” Some one terror—subtle foe !— “‘T have laid that spectre low!” They know not, learn not, cannot calculate How subtly Fate Weaves its fine mesh, perceiving how to wait, Or how accumulate

He had done an honest six days’ work if ever a man did; yet in such physical training was He from His lengthy “cure” in that fashionable Spa Pralaya that he was not in the least fatigued. It was the Loi du Répos Hebdomadaire that had made Him throw down His tools. “ Anyway, the job’s finished!” He said, looking round Him complacently.

…my Liber OZ, written entirely in words of one syllable only, with this very idea in mind, turned out to be completely beyond the average man's (or woman's) understanding. I had some Mass Observation done on it. "But this is rank Socialism," "Sy, ayn't this all Fascism?" "Oh Golly!" "Cripes!" "Coo!" "How dreadful!" about the nearest most of them got to Ralph Straus and Desmond MacCarthy! Words of one syllable! Louis Marlow had already told me what a fool I was to expect that. "All they can digest," said he, "is a mess of stewed cliches with Bird…

THE vault of purple that I strove To pierce, and find unchanging love, Or some vast countenance! above All glory of the soul of man, Baffled my blind aspiring gaze With sunlight’s melancholy rays, And closed with iron hand the ways That sunder space, divide the days with fiery fan. Thine was the forehead mild and grave That shone throughout the azure nave Where Monte Rosa’s silence gave The starry organ’s measured sound. Where for an altar stood the bare Mass of Mont Cervin,” towering there; And angels dwelt upon the stair, And all the…

must not rely upon the false analogy of the Xylenes to rebut this argument. It is quite true that geometrical isomers act in différent manners towards the substances to which they are brought into relation. And it is of course necessary sometimes to rearrange the éléments of a molécule before that molécule can form either the masculine or the féminine element in a true Magical combination with some other molécule. It is therefore occasionally inévitable for a Magician to re- organize the structure of certain éléments before proceeding to his op…

…t the horse had blown first. This is of course the danger in every magical experiment; and this constitutes the evergreen glory of every man who adventures upon it; for at each new portal he enters, naked and new-born, to confront he knows not what malignant enemies. The sole excuse for the existence of our miserable species lies not in intelligence, but in this masterful courage, this aspiration to extend the empire of the spirit. Even the blackest of magicians, like Douglas, or the stupidest, like Arthwait, is a higher type of being than the …

Again they sent round a man to Frank Hollings to frighten him out of selling The Equinox, though no complaint had ever been made about it.

It is true that young men usually follow somebody or something ; but this does not imply depreciation. It is also true that some critics appear to expect an absolutely impossible origi- nality, and that they forget Emerson’s dictum that the greatest genius is the most indebted man. Nobody borrowed more than the Bard of Avon ; yet he has been held to have achieved a tolerable r…
