De Sri Krishna et de Dionyso
(Of Sri Krishna, and of Dionysus)
RISHNA has Names and Forms innumerable, and I
know not His true Human Birth, for His Formula
is of the Major Antiquity. But His Word hath
spread into many Lands, and we know it to-day as INRI with
the secret IAO concealed therein. And the Meaning of this
Word is the Working of Nature in Her Changes; that is, it is
the Formula of Magick whereby all Things reproduce and
recreate themselves.
Yet this Extension and Specialisation
was rather the Word of Dionysus; for the true Word of
Krishna was AUM, importing rather a Statement of the Truth
of Nature than a practical Instruction in detailed Operations
of Magick.
But Dionysus, by the Word INRI, laid the
Foundation of all Science, as We say Science to-day in a
particular Sense, that is, of causing external Nature to
change in Harmony with our Wills.
