THE EQUINOX him reply “Love is the law, love under will.” The latter sentence shall also be used as the greeting of farewell. In writing, wherever greeting is usual, it should be as above, opening “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.”, and closing “Love is the law, love under will.” 2. Social gatherings should be held as often as is convenient, and there the Law should be read and explained. 3. The special tracts written by Us, or authorized by Us, should be dis- tributed to all persons with whom those who have accepted the Law may…

KHABS AM PEKHT much.” This is not any bar to an explanation of the Law. We may aid men to strike off their own fetters; but those who prefer slavery must be allowed to do so. “The slaves shall serve.” The excellence of the Law must be showed by its results upon those who accept it. When men see us as the hermits of Hadit described in CCXX, II. 24, they will determine to emulate our joy. Note, pray thee, the whole implication of the chapter that sooner or later we are to break the power of the slaves of the slave-gods by actual fighting. Ultimat…

The Law is for All

The Comment Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The study of this Book is forbidden. It is wise to destroy this copy after the first reading. Whosoever disregards this does so at his own risk and peril. These are most dire. Those who discuss the contents of this Book are to be shunned by all, as centres of pestilence. All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt. Love is the law, love under will. The priest of the princes, 284

… About this same time I find an entry called “The Philos- ophy of V.I.0.” which seems of interest on account of some similarities to the Law of Thelema, of which he had heard nothing at that time. It reads as follows: Man is bound by but One Law. If he breaks a part of it, he hurts no one but himself. While he lives in unity with It, he is God. While he does not live in unity with It he is Man. While he lives in unity with it he becomes the Law. To realise the Law and live it is the Great Work. To break the Law after he has realized it is Sin. …

CONCERNING THE LAW OF THELEMA (I say) feel themselves immediately to be kings and queens. “Every man and every woman is a star” is the first state- ment in the Book of the Law. In the pamphlet, “The Law of Liberty,” this theme is embroidered with considerable care, and I will not trouble you with further quotation. You will say swiftly that the heavenly state of mind thus induced will be hard put to it to endure hunger and cold. The thought occurred also to our founder, and I will endeavour to put before you the skeleton of his plan to avert su…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

EDITORIAL Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. THE world needs religion. Religion must represent Truth, and celebrate it. This truth is of two orders: one, concerning Nature ex- ternal to Man; two, concerning Nature internal to Man. Existing religions, especially Christianity, are based on primitive ignorance of the facts, particularly of external Nature. Celebrations must conform to the custom and nature of the people. Christianity has destroyed the joyful celebrations, char- acterized by music, dancing, feasting, and making love; …

Commentary: Law, in the common sense of the word, should be a formulation of the customs of a people, as Euclid’s proposi­ tions are the formulation of geometrical facts. But modern knav­ ery conceived the idea of artificial law, as if one should try to square the circle by tyranny. Legislators try to force the people to change their customs, so that the “busine…
