THE EQUINOX And there is a string instrument, somewhat like a zither. And there is a human voice. And a voice comes: this is the Song of the Sphinx, which she singeth ever in the ears of men. And it is the song of the syrens. And whoever heareth it is lost. I III Mu pa telai, O chi balae Tu wa melai Wa pa malae:— A, 4, 3. Ut! Ut! Ut! Tu fu tulu!

THE EQUINOX Aha! Aha! Yea! Let me take the form of Hadit before thee, and sing: Aka dua Tuf ur biu Bi a’a chefu Dudu ner af an nuteru. Nuit! Nuit! How art thou manifested in this place! This is a Mystery ineffable. And it is mine, and I can never reveal it either to God or to man. It is for thee and me! Aha! Aha! A ka dua Tuf ur biu Bi a’a chefu Dudu ner af an nuteru. . .. My spirit is no more; my soul is no more. My life leaps out into annihilation! Aka dua Tuf ur biu Bi a’a chefu Dudu ner af an nuteru. It is the cry of my body! Save me! I hav…
THE EQUINOX And be the glory for ever and ever unto the Most High God, Amen! Then I returned within my body, giving glory unto the Lord of Light and of the Darkness. In Saecula Saeculorum. Amen! (On composing myself to sleep, I was shewn an extremely brilliant “ in the Character of the Passing of the River, in an egg of white light. And I take this as the best of Omens. The letter was extremely vivid and indeed apparently physical. Almost a Dhyana.) November 17, 1900, Die A Note Concerning the thirty Aethyrs: The Visions of the 29th and 30th Ae…
THE EQUINOX 24. Now appears his mate, the heavenly Venus, the Scarlet Woman, who by men is thought of as Babalon as he is thought of as Chaos. 23. Here appear the Cherubim, the other officers of the new Temple, the earth and water assistants of the fire and air Beast and Scarlet Woman. 22. Here is the First Key to the formula of Horus, a sevenfold arrangement. A shadow of Horus declares his nature. 21. This seems to be the Vision of God face to face that is the necessary ordeal for him who would pass the Abyss, as it were. A commission to be th…
THE EQUINOX the Rivers have rushed together and the Name mn? is broken in a thousand pieces (against the Cubic Stone). Tremble ye, O Pillars of the Universe, for Eternity is in travail of a Terrible Child; she shall bring forth an universe of Darkness, whence shall leap forth a spark that shall put his father to flight. The Obelisks are broken; the stars have rushed together: the Light hath plunged into the Abyss: the Heavens are mixed with Hell. My Father shall not hear their Noise: His ears are closed: His eyes are covered with the clouds of …
THE EQUINOX coming of the veil of the Aethyr; not here. I think I will go to the Hot Springs. So I put away the Stone upon my breast. BISKRA. 10,15-11.52 a.m. Flashes of lightning are playing in the Stone, at the top; and at the bottom of the Stone there is a black pyramid, and at the top thereof is a vesica piscis. The vesica piscis is of colourless brilliance. The two curves of Pisces are thus: )¢ They are the same curves as the curves of vesica piscis, but turned round. And a voice comes: How can that which is buried in the pyramids behold t…
THE EQUINOX Until the Voice vibrate! Until it pierce my Depth; Look not on High! Look not Beneath! For thou wilt find a life which is as Death: or a Death which should be infinite. For Thou art submitted to the Four: Five thou shalt find, but Seven is lone and far. O Lord God, let Thy Spirit hither unto me! For I am lost in the night of infinite pain: no hope: no God: no resurrection: no end: I fall: I fear. O Saviour of the World, bruise Thou my Head with Thy foot to save the world, that once again I touch Him whom I slew, that in my death I f…
THE EQUINOX (This cry was obtained on Dec. 6, 1909, between 2 and 4.15 p.m., in a lonely valley of fine sand, in the desert near Bou-Saada. The Aethyr was edited and revised on the following day.) After the conclusion of the Ceremony, a great fire was kindled to purify the place, and the Circle and Triangle were destroyed. NOTE BY SCRIBE. Almost from the beginning of the ceremony was the Scribe overshadowed, and he spoke as it were in spite of himself, remembering afterwards scarcely a word of his speeches, some of which were long and seemingly…
THE EQUINOX In nomine BABALON Amen. Restriction unto Choronzon. THE TENTH AETHYR IS CALLED ZAX. This Aethyr being accursed, and the seer forewarned, he taketh these precautions for the scribe. First let the scribe be seated in the centre of the circle in the desert sand, and let the circle be fortified by the Holy Names of God—Tetragrammaton and Shaddai El Chai and Ararita. And let the Demon be invoked within a triangle, wherein is inscribed the name of Choronzon, and about it let him write ANAPHAXETON - ANAPHANETON - PRIMEU- MATON, and in the …
THE EQUINOX Omir téssili marax, téssala dodi phornépax. amri radara poliax armana pilit. amri radara pilit son’; mari narya barbiton madara anaphax sarpéd6n andala hriliu. Translation. I am the harlot that shaketh Death, This shaking giveth the Peace of Satiate Lust. Immortality jetteth from my skull, And music from my vulva. Immortality jetteth from my vulva also, For my Whoredom is a sweet scent like a seven-stringed instrument, Played unto God the Invisible, the all-ruler, That goeth along giving the shrill scream of orgasm. Every man that h…
THE EQUINOX the Holy Qabalah, concerning the Whirlpool and Leviathan, and the Great Stone. Thus long have I talked with thee in bidding thee depart, that the memory of the Aethyr might be dulled; for hadst thou come back suddenly into thy mortal frame, thou hadst fallen into madness or death. For the vision is not such that any may endure it. But now thy sense is dull, and the shew-stone but a stone. Therefore awake, and give secretly and apart the sign of the Mother, and call four times upon the name of CHAOS, that is the four-fold word that i…
THE EQUINOX All I get is that the Apocalypse was a recension of a dozen or so totally disconnected allegories, that were pieced together, and ruthlessly planed down to make them into a connected account; and that recension was re-written and edited in the interests of Christianity, because people were complaining that Christianity could show no true spiritual knowledge, or any food for the best minds: nothing but miracles, which only deceived the most ignorant, and Theology, which only suited pedants. Soa man got hold of this recension, and tur…
THE EQUINOX reveal the alphabet thereof, perceived not one ten-thousandth part of the fringe that is upon its vesture. Come away! for the clouds are gathered together, and the Aire heaveth like the womb of a woman in travail. Come away! lest he loose the lightnings from his hand, and unleash his hounds of thunder. Come away! For the voice of the Aethyr is accomplished. Come away! For the seal of His loving-kindness is made sure. And let there be praise and blessing unspeakable unto him that sitteth upon the Holy Throne, for he casteth down merc…
THE EQUINOX He spake: It is finished! My mother hath unveiled herself! My sister hath violated herself! The life of things hath disclosed its Mystery. The work of the Moon is done! Motion is ended for ever! Clipped are the eagle’s wings: but my Shoulders have not lost their strength. I heard a Great Voice from above crying: Thou liest! For the Volatile hath indeed fixed itself; but it hath arisen above thy sight. The World is desert: but the Abodes of the House of my Father are peopled; and His Throne is crusted over with white Brilliant Stars,…
THE EQUINOX but there is one that cometh forth to meet me upon the ridge, holding out his arms to me and saying: (v. I.) Who is this that cometh forth from the Abyss from the place of rent garments, the habitation of him that is only a name? Who is this that walketh upon a ray of the bright, the evening star? Refrain. Glory unto him that is concealed, and glory unto her that beareth the cup, and glory unto the one that is the child and the father of their love. Glory unto the star, and glory unto the snake, and glory unto the swords- man of the…
THE EQUINOX And I answer him: Sorrow is not, save in the darkness of the womb of Her by whom came evil. I pierce the Mystery of his breast, and therein is a jewel. It is a sapphire as great as an ostrich egg, and thereon is graven this sigil: But there is also much writing on the stone, very minute characters carved. I cannot read them. He points with his flail to the sapphire, which is now outside him and bigger than himself; and he cries: Hail! warden of the Gates of Eternity who knowest not thy right hand from thy left; for in the aeon of my…
THE EQUINOX The tenth Aethyr is the world of adjectives, and there is no substance therein. (Now returned the beautiful woman who had _ before tempted the Scribe. She prevailed not.) I am afraid of sunset, for Tum is more terrible than Ra, and Khephra the Beetle is greater than the Lion Mau. I am a-cold. (Here Choronzon wanted to leave the triangle to obtain wherewith to cover his nakedness. The Scribe refused the request, threatening the demon. After a while the latter continued:) Iam commanded, why I know not, by him that speaketh. Were it th…
THE EQUINOX And the third Adept examines the skin and tastes the sweat of my left arm, and says: TAN, TAN, TAN, TAN. And the fourth Adept examines my neck, and seems to approve, though he says nothing; and he hath opened the right half of my brain, and he makes some examination, and says: “Samajh, samajh, samajh.” And the fifth Adept examines the left half of my brain, and then holds up his hand in protest, and says “PLA .. .” (I cannot get the sentence, but the meaning is: In the thick darkness the seed awaiteth spring.) And now am I again rap…
