Let him imagine his own figure (preferably robed in the proper magical garments and armed with the proper magical weapons) as enveloping his physical body, or standing near to and in front of him. 3. Let him then transfer the seat of his consciousness to that imagined figure; so that it may seem to him that he is seeing with its eyes, and hearing with its ears. This will usually be the great difficulty of the operation. 4. Let him th…

…earty voice and his virile roll, more of a dance than a walk, easily dominated the company. Yet there was at least one really remarkable figure in the pleasant gloom of the little cabaret. A man sat there, timid, pathetic, one would say a man often rebuffed. He was nigh seventy years of age, maybe; he looked older. For him time had not moved at all, ap- parently; for he wore the dress of a beau of the Second Empire. Exquisitely, too, he wore it. Sitting back in his dark corner, the figure would have gained had it been suddenly transplanted to t…

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HASHISH Sit down comfortably; it is perhaps best to begin in the dark. Imagine as strongly as possible your own figure standing in front of you. Transfer your consciousness to that figure, so that you look down upon your physical body in the chair. (This is usually the one difficulty.) Feeling perfectly at home in your imagined body, let that body rise through the air to a great height. Stop. Look around you. Probably the eyes of your ‘“‘astral” body will be closed. It is sometimes difficult to open them. You will then perceiv…

…e holds a lighted torch, and in his right hand, which is elevated, a horn of water. The cubical Altar represents the Universe. The whole figure shows the gross generating powers of nature on the material plane, and is analogous to the Pan of the Greeks and the Egyptian Goat of Mendes. As his hands bear the torch and the horn, the symbols of Fire and Water, so does his form unite the Earth in his hairy and bestial aspect, and the Air in his bat-like wings. The whole would be an evil symbol were it not for the Pentagram of Light above his head wh…

It is alleged that some persons have attained the power of actually kindling fire by these means. Whether this be so or not, the power is not one to be aimed at. 3.

…came surprised at the great distance of my journey. “ Eventually I arrived in a strange land, and after some perplexity assumed a divine figure, which I believe to be that of Diana. Then I called Sappho, and immediately she appeared before me, a small dark woman with a wonderful skin and a copper sheen on her dark hair. Her face was very lovely, but her expression was ablaze with intense desire, and through her wild floating hair could be seen her eyes, in which glittered madness. “On seeing me, she knelt down before me, and I, trying to comfor…

And as I strove, I emerged from the centre of the crown of mine own head like a white bird; and so great had been my desire that I shot upwards past my skull like an arrow from abended bow. And swerv- ing down, I played around the head of the great image and kissed it on the lips. But though for many minutes did I fly about that immense head, the countenance thereof was ever cloudy as a mountain seen t…

The five extremities of the Body, delineated by head, hands and feet, allude to the powers of the Number five, the letter 4, the Pentagram comprehending the concealed Spirit of Life and the four Elements, the originators of all living forms.
