STEPPING OUT OF THE OLD AON INTO THE NEW Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. As all of you should know, we have entered a New Zon. A Higher Truth has been given to the World. This truth is waiting in readiness for all those who will consciously accept it, but it has to be realised before it is understood, and day by day those who have accepted this Law, and are trying to live it, realize more and more of its Beauty and Perfection. The new teaching appears strange at first; and the mind is unable to grasp more than a fragment of wha…

…the tree; in the background all is Spring, and the nymph dances joyfully to the piping of the shepherd. The picture is symbolical of the New on. From the blasted stump of dogma, the poison oak of ‘original sin’, is hanged the hag with dyed and bloody hair, Christianity, the glyph thus commemorating ‘sa vie horizontale et sa mort verticale.’ The satyr, a portrait of Frater D. D. S., one of the Teachers of The Master Therion, represents the Soul of the New Aon, whose Word is Do what thou wilt; for the satyr is the True Nature of every man and eve…

When all the readers and reviewers in the land should be hasting in their thousands to acclaim this ‘new birth of our new soil, the first American’—as indeed Mr. Pound is the first Complete American high-brow, armed at all points, accoutred cap-d-pie—instead they persist in regarding him as an exotic, a fantastic, a new-art poseur. I suppose, because he lives in Europe, because he has written vers libre, because he has praised a man with a name like Gaudier-Brzeska. These trifling accidents do not in the leas…

LIBER CLXI O.T.O. CONCERNING THE LAW OF THELEMA An Epistle written to Professor L—— B—— K—— who also himself waited for the New Zon, concerning the O.T.O. and its solution of divers problems of Human So- ciety, particularly those concerning Property, and now reprinted for General Circulation. My Dear Sir,— Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I was glad to receive your letter of inquiry with regard to the Mes- sage of the Master Therion.

The first thing that strikes him is the High Cost Of Living, and he has- tens to offer his wife to the first comer. A friendly agreement is reached in con- ference by which a divorce shall be obtained, and a new marriage contracted with Alice’s new lover. I forget the disposition of the children, whether it was odd man out, or the first Jack, who had to look after the business. But, thr…

…ce and vulgarity across the steppes of Russia. Mr. Poole is not very deep, and he is exceptionally stagnant, with a thick green slime of New England prejudice on his surface. Even for a journalist he is appalling. Think of using words like “destructed”! It deserves what he calls “le peine de mort.” His method is to accumulate details, none of which he understands. There is no hint of vision. There is no understanding of Russia. There is nothing but interviews with uninteresting people, whose consciousness does not in any way represent them, or,…

Iwas cold as earth: the night Had given way. One star hung bright Over the church, now gray; I rose up to greet the ray That thrilled through elm and chestnut, lit The grass, made diamonds of it, And bade the weir’s long smile of spray Leap with laughter for the day. The birds woke over all the weald; The sullen peasants slouched afield; The lilies swayed before the breeze That mur…

…h he discusses. It is a very marked advance upon the absolutely blithering balderdash which characterizes most writing on spiritualism, ‘new thought,’ and the like. Sir William Barrett is critical, without being skeptical in the bad sense of the word, and his judgment is excellent for an amateur. Of course, all psychical re- search without initiation reminds one of art criticism by a blind man or an art critic. Apart from this, however, Sir William Barrett has written a very clever book, and I hope that these few well chosen words of approval m…

This grade is symbolically that of beauty and harmony; it is the natural stopping-place of the majority of men and women; for to proceed farther, as will appear, involves renunciation of …
