The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

DE LEGE LIBELLVM shivers: the wise man, brave and free, drinks, and gives glory to the Most High God. This then is the Law of Liberty: you possess all Liberty in your own right, but you must buttress Right with Might: you must win Freedom for yourself in many a war. Woe unto the children who sleep in the Freedom that their fore- fathers won for them! “There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt:” but it is only the greatest of the race who have the strength and courage to obey it. O man! behold thyself! With what pains wast thou fash- ioned! What ages have gone to thy shaping! The history of the planet is woven into the very substance of thy brain! Was all this for naught? Is there no purpose in thee? Wast thou made thus that thou shouldst eat, and breed, and die? Think it not so! Thou dost incorporate so many elements, thou art the fruit of so many zons of labour, thou art fash- ioned thus as thou art, and not otherwise, for some colossal End. Nerve thyself, then, to seek it and to do it. Naught can satisfy thee but the fulfilment of thy transcendent Will, that is hidden within thee. For this, then, up, to arms! Win thine own Freedom for thyself! Strike hard! Ir OF LOVE Ir is written that “Love is the law, love under will.” Herein is an Arcanum concealed, for in the Greek Language AratiH, Love, isof the same numerical value as @EAHMA, Will. 107
