The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX The A..A.., or Great White Brotherhood, through Whom this Law was obtained, is a Body of the highest Initiates, pledged to aid mankind. It offers instruction in the Way of Spiritual Progress and Illumination to individual seekers. The work of the A..A.. is called Scientific Iluminism. This may be briefly expressed by quoting Its motto: “The method of Science; the aim of Religion.” Every seeker is taught how to realise Truth for himself, by means accurate and well-tested. The O.T.O. is the first of the great religious Societies to accept the Law. It trains groups by way of progressive initiation. TuHE Egutnox publishes all instructions and pronounce- ments of the A..A.. and O.T.O. It also publishes such poetry, drama, fiction, and essays, as are sympathetic to this programme, so far as space permits. THE Equinox is so called, firstly, because it is the Com- ment upon the Word of the New Zon, #ednpa, which was given at the Equinox of the Gods, when the Crowned and Conquering Child, Horus, took the place of the Dying God, Osiris. (The Equinox marks a period of a fresh influx of Force from our Father the SUN.) Secondly, in accordance with this, publication takes place at the Equinoxes of Spring and Autumn of each year. The rule of the A..A.. is to alternate 5 years of silence with 5 years of speech. Hence publication has been from 1909-1914, An V-IX; and now from 1919-1924, An XV-XIX. Love is the law, love under will. 10
