First, then, let us consider the Book 777 and its use; the préparation of the Place; the use of the Magic Ceremonies; and finally the methods which follow in Chapter V. “Viator in Regnis Arboris” and in Chapter VI “Sagitta trans Lunam.” (In another book will be treated of the Expansion and Contrac¬ tion of Consciousness ; progress by slaying the Cakkrâms; progress by slaying the Pairs of Opposites; the methods of Sabhapaty Swami, etc., etc.) IL 1.

cast upon the shore and wrecked. Undamaged among the cargo is a “Victoria”. What is its use ? The wheels speak of roads, their slimness of smooth roads, the brake of hilly roads. The shafts show that it was meant to be drawn by an animal, their height and length suggest an animal of the size of a horse. That the carnage is open suggests a climate tolerable at any time of the year. The height of the box suggests crowded streets, or the spirited character of the animal employed to draw it. The cushions indicate its use to convey men rather than m…

… There hâve been certain saints who are capable of love for an idea as such without it being otherwise than degraded by idolising it, to use this Word in its true sense. Thus one may be impassioned of beauty, without even the need of so small a concrétion of it as “The beauty of Apollo”, the “beauty of roses”, the “beauty of Attis”. Such persons are rare 5 it may be doubted whether Plato himself attained to any vision of absolute beauty without attaching to it material objects in the first place. A second class is able to contemplate ideals thr…

LIBER O vel MANUS ET SAGITTÆ SUB FIGURA VI. I. 1. This book is very easy to misunderstand; readers are asked to use the most minute critical care in the study of it, even as we hâve done in the préparation. 2. In this book it is spoken of the Sephiroth, and the Paths, of Spirits and Conjurations ; of Gods, Spheres, Planes, and many other things which may or may not exist. It is immaterial whether they exist or not. By doing certain things certain results follow; students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or philoso…

4- The banishing rituals should be used at the commencement of any ceremony whatever. Next, the student should use a general invocation, such as the “Preliminary Invocation” in the “Goetia” as well as a spécial invocation to suit the nature of his working. 5. Success in these verbal invocations is so subtle a matter, and its grades so delicately shaded, that it must be left to the good sense of the student to décidé whether or not he should be satisfied with his resuit. V. 1. Let the student be at rest in one of his prescribed positions, having…

…erning sacrifices for love’s sake, they are natural to this Method, and right. But concerning voluntary privations and tortures, without use save as against the devotee, they are generally not natural to healthy natures, and wrong. For they are selfish.

There is no principle, even a false one, to give cohérence to the clamour of ethical propositions. Yet the very men that hâve smashed Moloch, and strewn the earth with shapeless rubbl…
