…that gnaws the prey He has regotten from the tribes of men. We lay like passion all that deadly day— Thou wast a lion as an angel then ! Great angel of the brazen brows, great lover, Great hater of my body as my soul, To whom I gave my life and love thrice over, Fill me one last caress—the poison-bowl ! Great angel of the brazen brows, great lover !
KE®AAH NB THE BULL-BAITING Fourscore and eleven books wrote I; in each did I expound THE GREAT WORK fully, from The Beginning even unto The End thereof. Then at last came certain men unto me, saying: O Master! Expound thou THE GREAT WORK unto us, O Master! And I held my peace. O generation of gossipers! who shall deliver you from the Wrath that is fallen upon you? O Babblers, Prattlers, Talkers, Loquacious Ones, Tatlers, Chewers of the Red Rag that inflameth Apis the Redeemer to fury, learn firstwhat isWork! and THE GREAT WORK is not so far bey…

…ad dressed myself. And as I wondered, the angel said to me: ‘They have been given thee’ ; therefore again I knelt, and was endued with a great power. “ And as the great strength coursed through me I stood up and the angel gave me a white wand, placing it in my right hand; then fiery rain fell upon me, bursting into little flames as it touched me. “Taller and taller did I grow, striving up and upwards to reach the face of the great figure. And as I strove, I emerged from the centre of the crown of mine own head like a white bird; and so great ha…

LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI 90 Gl De Gradibus ad Magnum Opus (Of Steps to the Great Work) HIS Great Work is the Attainment of the Know- ledge and Conversation of thine Holy Guardian Angel. In the Eight Æthyr is the Way thereof revealed. But I say: prepare thyself most heartily and well for that Battle of Love by all means of Magick. Make thyself puissant, wise, radiant in every System, and balance thyself well in thine Universe. Then with a pure Will tempered in the thousand Furnaces of thy Trials, burn up thyself within thy Self. In the Preparation ho…
…to tremble: the Stars are troubled: the Aires fall. The First Voice Speaketh and saith: Cursed, cursed be the Earth, for her iniquity is great. Oh Lord! Let Thy Mercy be lost in the great Deep! Open thine eyes of Flame and Light, O God, upon the wicked! Lighten thine Eyes! The Clamour of Thy Voice, let it smite down the Mountains! Let us not see it! Cover we our eyes, lest we see the End of Man. Close we our ears, lest we hear the cry of Woman. Let none speak of it: let none write it: I, I am troubled, my eyes are moist with dews of terror: sur…
…aha- kalpas did he work with his divine power—and yet that little crack was in nowise filled, but rather widened ! The god returned. ‘‘O Great White Spirit!” he whispered —and the Universe shook with fear at the voice of him— “Thou, and Thou alone, art worthy to fill this little crack that Thou hast left.” Then the Great White Spirit arose and formulated Himself as the Pillar of Infinitude, even as the Mahalingam of Great Shiva the Destroyer, who openeth his eye, and All is Not. And behold! He was balanced in the crack, and the void was filled,…

WEALTH TEN OF DISKS The number Ten, Malkuth, as always, represents the final issue of the Energy. Here is great and final solidification. The force is completely expended and results in death. Mercury rules this card in Virgo; and this may imply that the acquired wealth, being inert, will be dissi‐ pated unless put to further use by devoting its power to objects other than mere accumula‐ tion. The disks, or (as they have now become) coins, are arranged on the Tree of Life, but the Tenth coin is much larger than the rest; the image indicates the…
SORROW THREE OF SWORDS Binah, the Great Mother, here rules the realm of Air. This fact involves an extremely dif‐ ficult doctrine which must be studied at length in The Vision and the Voice: Aethyr 14. Binah is here not the beneficent Mother completing the Trinity with Kether and Chok‐ mah. She represents the darkness of the Great Sea. This is accentuated by the Celestial Lordship of Saturn in Libra. This card is dark and heavy; it is, so to speak, the womb of Chaos. There is an intense lurking passion to create, but its children are monsters. …

As I soared up through the air, I saw above me a great circle; this I passed through, only to behold another one greater still. As I approached it I perceived an angel coming towards me ; there- fore I entered the circle and knelt down. “ The angel, seeing me kneeling before him, approached me, and taking me by the hand, raised me up, kissing me as he did so. And having thus greeted me, he bade me tell him what I sought; this I did. And when I had finished s…

144 The relations between the twins of rapture. 2. Alexander the Great, still great in Hindos- tan. I can trace no legend to justify this epi- thet ; perhaps it is merely poetic for “ mighty.” 3. This verse (says Mahbub) conceals a “ Great Word to become mad, and go about naked ” if re- peated 1001 times nightly for a number of nights not stated. Very probable. The concealed Word is only the common : [Persian text] “ Glory to God and Praise to God ! There is no God but God. Great is He, and protecteth us ; there is no might save in Him, the Exa…
…larly the visions of Joan of Arc were entirely Christian; but she, like all the others we have mentioned, found somewherethe force to do great things. Of course, it may be said that there is a fallacy in the argument; it may be true that all these great people “ saw God,” but it does not follow that every one who “ sees God ” will do great things. This is true enough. In fact, the majority of people who claim to have “seen God,” and who no doubt did “see God” just as much as those whom we have quoted, did nothing else. But perhaps their silence…
