The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

DE LEGE LIBELLVM Here the Book of the Law, by the Voice of Hadit, informeth us: “In the sphere Iam everywhere the centre.” And again: “I am Life and the giver of Life . . . ‘come unto me’ is a foolish word: for it is I that go.” “For I am perfect, being Not.” For this Life is in every place and time at once, so that in It these limitations no longer exist. And you will have seen this for yourself, that in every act of Love time and space disappear with the creation of the Life by its virtue, as also doth personality itself. For the third time, then, in even subtler sense, “The word of Sin is Restriction.” Lastly, in the Way of Light this same versicle is the key to the conception of Evil. But here Restriction is in the failure to solve the Great Equation, and, later, to prefer one expression or phase of the Universe to the other. Against this we are warned in the Book of the Law by the Word of Nuit, saying: “None .. . and two. For I am divided for love’s sake, for the chance of union,” and therefore, “If this be not aright: if ye confound the space marks, saying: They are one: or saying, They are many . . . then expect the direful judgments. . . .” Now therefore by the favour of Thoth am I come to the end of this my book: and do you arm yourselves accordingly with the Four Weapons: the Wand for Liberty, the Cup for Love, the Sword for Life, the Disk for Light: and with these work all wonders by the Art of High Magick under the Law of the New AZon, whose Word is @EAHMA. 125
