THE EQUINOX
Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage.” A time of transition
was at hand, a spiritual renaissance was about to take place,
so little wonder is it that we find P. much like St. Augustine
lamenting his outward search, and crying with him: “I, Lord,
went wandering like a strayed sheep, seeking Thee with anxious
Reasoning without, whilst Thou wast within me. I wearied
myself much in looking for Thee without, and yet Thou hast
Thy habitation within me, if only I desire Thee and pant
after Thee. I went round the Streets and Squares of the
City of this World seeking Thee; and I found Thee not,
because in vain I sought without for Him who was within
myself.”
