…nified. The more perfect is the sign, the more entire is the correspondence. To say a word is to evoke a thought and make it present. To name God is to manifest God. The word acts upon souls, and souls react upon bodies; consequently one can frighten, console, cause to fall ill, cure, even kill, and raise from the dead by means of words. To utter a name is to create or evoke a being. In the name is contained the verda/ or spiritual doctrine of the being itself. When the soul evokes a thought, the sign of that thought is written automatically in…

… THE MYSTERIES Mont-Louis, in the diocese of Tours? That you are the most zealous disciple of the ecstatic Eugéne Vintras? And that your name is Charvoz?” It was a veritable thunderbolt; at each of these three phrases the old priest jumped in his chair. When he heard his name, he turned pale, and rose as if a spring had been released. “You are then really a magician ?” he cried; ‘“‘ Charvoz is certainly my name, but it is not that which I bear; I call myself La Paraz.” “T know it; La Paraz is the name of your mother. You have left a sufficientl…

…ELIGION PROVED BY THE OBJECTIONS WHICH PEOPLE OPPOSE TO IT. Tue objections which one may make against religion may be made either in the name of science, or in the name of reason, or in the name of faith. Science cannot deny the facts of the existence of religion, of its establishment and its influence upon the events of history. It is forbidden to it to touch dogma; dogma belongs wholly to faith. Science ordinarily arms itself against religion with a series of facts which it is her duty to appreciate, which, in fact, she does appreciate thorou…

THE EQUINOX screncE. Admit that if religion has produced much good, she has also done much evil. FAITH. When one kills in the name of the God who said, “Thou shalt not kill,’ when one persecutes in the name of Him who commands us to forgive our enemies, when one propagates darkness in the name of Him who tells us not to hide the light under a bushel, is it just to attribute the crime to the very law which condemns it? Say, if you wish to be just, that in spite of religion, much evil has been done upon earth. But also, to how many virtues has it…

…n its works, in its aspirations, more magnificently ideal than the highest poetry, a spirit for which it was neces- sary to create a new name, a name altogether unheard*in the sanctuaries of antiquity. This name was created, and we shall demonstrate that this name, this word, is, in religion, as much for science as for faith, the expression of the absolute. The word is CHARITY, and the spirit of which we speak is the spirit of charity. Before charity, faith prostrates itself, and conquered science bows. There is here evidently something greater…

With the name of Jod hé vau hé, one commands Nature : kingdoms are conquered in the name of Adonai, and the occult forces which compose the empire of Hermes are one and all obedient to him who knows how to pronounce duly the incommunicable name of Agla.

Here still hangs the Crucified One, and here the Mother weeps over the children that she hath not borne. Sterility is my name, and desolation. Intolerable is thine ache, and incurable thy wound.

…ble explanation, of one of the images dearest to Catholic symbolism, the triumph of the Mother of God? The qabalists say that the occult name of the devil, his true name, is that of Jehovah written backwards. This, for the initiate, is a complete revelation of the mysteries of the tetragram. In fact, the order of the letters of that great name indicates the predominance of the idea over form, of the active over the passive, of cause over effect. By reversing that order one obtains the contrary. Jehovah is he who tames Nature as it were a superb…

…rise: morality proscribes scandal. Every scandal is a turpitude. One is not indecent because one possesses organs which modesty does not name, but one is obscene when one exhibits them. Husbands, hide your domestic wounds; do not strip your wives naked before the laughter of the mob! Women, do not advertise the discomforts of the conjugal bed: to do so is to write yourselves prostitutes in public opinion. It needs a lofty degree of courage to keep conjugal faith; it isa pact of heroism of which only great souls can under- stand the whole extent…

I SEARCHED the world for life; at length I came Unto a gateway I could not pass through; And then I turned, calling upon the name Of you. And so you came to me: each dawn was new, And every sunset was a scarlet flame, And noon was glorious in gold and blue. So now I care not for my mystic shame; Love brings no fears, and life gives nought to rue, So I may sing unto the love and fame Of you. 131

…the hierarchy. The hierarchy is the guardian of dogma, for whose letter and spirit she alike demands respect. The sectarians who, in the name of their reason or, rather, of their individual un- reason, have laid hands on dogma, have, in the very act, lost the spirit of charity; they have excommunicated themselves. The Catholic, that is to say the universal, dogma merits that magnificent name by harmonizing in one all the religious aspirations of the world ; with Mosesand Mohammed, it affirms the unity of God; with Zoroaster, Hermes and Plato, i…
