452 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS "debunking" the Venus of Milo. The maximum success possible in such an operation would be to become a "Black-Brother"; but what happens in practice, so far as my own experience goes, is complete dispersion of the mental faculties amounting to suicide; I could quote no less than four cases in which actual physical self-murder was the direct result.

Preface When I first read Magick without Tears some ten years ago, I confess it left very little impression on me. It seemed long and tedious to say the least. I suppose I was more accustomed to the dazzling pyrotechnics and virtuosity of the earlier Crowley, to The Equinox, and other books of sixty years ago. But my reaction was a serious mistake, as I discovered several years later when the opportunity to read it again presented itself. For despite its wit and humor, Magick without Tears is a serious, sober and sophisticated piece of good wri…
402 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS fairly plain hints so I can say in all simplicity, "Go thou and do likewise!" I think myoId friend Claude Farrere had more than an inkling of these matters; the idea of using young cellular tissue to fortify the old is plainly stated in La maison des hommes vivants; but as to the method of transmission his water was drawn from Wells (H.G.). After that-you will agree that I have written enough. Love is the law, love under will. Fraternally, 666

But as to your own wit of judgment as to the general rules of your own private Code of Morals, what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' for you, that will emerge only from long self-analysis such as is the chief work of the Sword in the process of your Initiation. Love is the law, love under will. Yours fraternally, 666

The experience of the Magician and the Yogi does suggest that there is room in the human brain as at present constituted for almost limitless expansion. At least our system of Training is more immediately practical than digging up our Corpora Quadragemina and planting them in a Monkey's Medulla just to see what will come of it. So put down that bread-knife! Love is the law,…
90 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS P.S. Our own School unites the ruby red of Blood with the gold of the Sun. It combines the best characteristics of the Yellow and the White Schools. In the light of M. Aumont's exposition, it is easy to understand. To us, every phenomenon is an Act of Love. Every experience is necessary, is a Sacrament, is a means of Growth. Hence, "existence is pure joy" (AL, II: 9). "A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture! A feast every night unto Nu, and the pleasure of uttermost delight!" (AL, II: 42, 43)
418 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS contempt the theory of "original sin" in the sense which you probably meant me to take: the defect deliberately implanted in man by "Old Nobodaddy" with no better object than to prepare the grotesquely tragic farce of the "Atonement." I will merely remark that no idea at once so base and so contemptible, so bestial and so idiotic, can challenge its ignoble absurdity. Rotten with sex-perversion, it is a noisome blend of sadism and masochism based on the most abject form of fear. The only argument for it is that it ever d…
288 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS Swami, who would not allow you to enter or leave his presence without permission, or address him without being formally invited to do so. After seven years at menial household drudgeries, you might with luck be allowed to listen to some of his improving discourse. Pretentious humbug is the only appeal to which you can be relied on to respond. Praxiteles would repel you, unless you covered the marble completely with glittering gew-gaws, tinsel finery, sham jewels from the tray of Autolycus! Yet it was precisely because y…
