The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

92 THE EQUINOX With the aplomb and savoir faire Peculiar to Eastern races, He took the secret then and there (What, is not lawful to declare), And thrust it rudely in their faces. “‘A filthy insult!” screamed the first; The second smiled, ‘‘ Ingenious blind !” The youngest neither blessed nor cursed, Contented to believe the worst— That He had spoken all his mind! The second earned the name of prig, The first the epithet of prude; The third, as merry as a grig, On melon and on sucking pig Feasts with the Great White Brotherhood. ALEISTER CROWLE…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX final experiment, becoming as it were ‘Omnia in Uno’ for a time, he emerged in a frame of mind well suited to the study of Scientific Iluminism, of which he was much in need, and, having signed the Probationer’s Pledge Form on December 24th 1909 E.V., he took—after careful thought—the Motto ‘Unus in Omnibus’ and has been riding very comfortably ever since. From this time onward, according to the Rules of the Order, he began keeping a written record of his Work, and this makes our task easier; but since he himself became more serious…

And this Magus has the twofold aspect of the Magician himself and also of the “ Great Magician " described in Liber 418 (EQUINOX, No. V., Special Supplement, p. 144). Now the formula of the mystic is much simpler. Mathematically, it is 1- 1 :0.
