THE EQUINOX amazed, for they can attain but part of it, never the whole. Thou art the God of gods, and all thy creatures bear witness to it; and in honour of this great name they owe thee all their worship. Thou art God, and all created beings are thy servants and thy worshippers ; thy glory is not tarnished, although men worship other gods, because their intention is to address themselves to thee; they are like blind men, who wish to follow the straight road, but stray; one falls into a well, the other into a ditch; all think that they are com…

THE EQUINOX A Boox or Preraces. By H. L. Mencken. Alfred A. Knopf. $2.00. Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the con- gregation of saints. Beuteve me, I had hardly hoped to live to see this day when a book of criticism like this comes into my hand. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. There are plenty of brains in America, and plenty of educated brains, but it is extremely rare to find these two combined in one being. Let them praise his name in the dance: l…

…esult,” you will experience a deep sense of spiritual communion. He is now holding a series of seances. I attended at the offices of THE EQUINOX. I climbed the inter- minable stairs. I was received by a gentleman robed in white and carrying a drawn sword. The room was dark ; only a dull-red light shone upon an altar.

THE EQUINOX play the man, for behold! there shall be revealed unto thee the Great Terror, the thing of awe that hath no name. And this is the mystery that I declare unto thee: that from the Crown itself spring the three great delusions; Aleph is madness, and Beth is falsehood, and Gimel is glamour. And these three be greater than all, for they are beyond the words that I speak unto thee; how much more therefore are they beyond the words that thou transmittest unto men. Behold! the Veil of the Aethyr sundereth, and is torn, like a sail by the br…

…ened to see in London on my return from the Alps, took me on my first astral journey. The details of the method are given in full in The Equinox, Vol. I No. II, (Liber O). I may here outline them thus: Imagine an image of yourself, standing in from of you. Transfer your consciousness to it. Rise upward. Invoking forces desired by the prescribed methods. Observe their appearance. Test their authenticity. Enter into conversation with them. Travel under their guidance to the particular part of the universe which you desire to explore. Return to ea…

THE EQUINOX and psycho-physiology ; while for the physio-psychologist it is important to assimilate and co-ordinate the data of epistemology and embryology with those of ontogeny and phylogeny, for the psycho-physiologist it is sufficient to rest in that monistic autokineticism which is only distinguishable from blank atheism by its Hellenistic-Teutonic terminology.

THE EQUINOX the “thing in itself” is very certain, for it is only what “WE see.” Yet nevertheless we renounce this as being absurd, or not renouncing it, at least do not live up to our assertion; for, we name that which is a reality to a child, and a deceit or illusion to a man, an apparition or a shadow. Thus, little by little, we beget a new reality upon the old reality, a new false- hood upon the old falsehood, namely, that the thing we see is “an illusion” and is not “a reality,” seldom considering that the true difference between the one a…

397 Equinox on proper business lines. Negotiations were still in progress when I left London towards the end of 1909 for Algeria. What was my amazement on my return to find that he had persuaded the people in charge that he had authority to act for me. They explained that he had come round and argued that he was going to be a director of the proposed company and therefore had power to conduct the business. The youth indubitably possessed the virtue of doing nothing by halves. He forged my name to endorse cheques payable to me, cashed them and e…

…ve been very blind indeed not to recognize my true situation, if for no other reason than the following. The celebration of the autumnal equinox coincided with an Operation with the object above stated. It was the last of this series of Operations, though I had no reason whatever for stopping, and only discovered the fact, much to my surprise, long after. Now, the word of this equinox was "Nebulae", which evidently points to the conditions which result in the birth of a star. What I had really done was therefore to beget a Magical Son. So, prec…

THE EQUINOX snow, and the fair skin wrinkled, and those eyes, that had turned so many happy lives to stone, dulled, and became as pewter dappled with the dregs of wine. The girl of twenty had gone, before him stood a hag of sixty, bent, decrepit, debauched. With dribbling curses she hobbled from the room. As Frater P. left the house, for some time he turned over in his mind these strange happenings, and was not long in coming to the opinion that Mrs. M. was not working alone, and that behind her probably were forces far greater than she. She wa…

THE EQUINOX her. For as the Mother she is 3 by 52, and as the harlot she is 6 by 26; but she is also 12 by 13, and that is the pure unity. Moreover she is 4 by 39, that is, victory over the power of the 4, and in 2 by 78 hath she destroyed the great Sorcerer. Thus is she the synthesis of 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, which being added are 10, therefore could she set her daughter upon her own throne, and defile her own bed with her vir- ginity. And I ask the Angel if there is any way by which I can make myself worthy to behold the Mysteries of this Aethy…

THE EQUINOX ing, by taking its pleasures sadly, becomes an altogether su- perior kind of nothing. It is with no hope of personal advancement that the Mas- ters teach. Personal advancement has ceased to have any meaning long before one becomes a Master. Nor do they teach because they are such Nice Kind People. Masters are like Dogs, which ‘bark and bite, for ’tis their nature to.’ We want no credit, no thanks; we are sick of you; only, we have to goon. This verse is, one must suppose, an attempt to put things into the kind of language that would…

A feast for fire and a feast for water ; a feast for life and a greater feast for death ! A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture ! Aye ! feast ! rejoice ! there is no dread hereafter. Dost thou fail ? Art thou sorry ? Is fear in thine heart ? Where I am these are not. Write, and find ecstasy in writing ! Work, and be our bed in working ! Thrill with the joy of life and d…
