that of the évocation of Taphtatharath printed in Equinox I, III, pages 170-190, where he will see exactîy why these things are to be used. Of course, as the student advances in knowledge by expérience he will find a progressive subtlety in the magical universe corresponding to his own; for let it be said yet again! not only is his aura a magical mirror of the universe, but the universe is a magical mirror of his aura. In this chapter we are only able to give a very thin outline of magical theory — faint pencilling by weak and wavering fingers …

…ts three forms”1 of negativity, action, and individuality. 1 [From “Liber Trigrammaton sub figura XXVII,” The Holy Books of Thelema (The Equinox 111(9)) (1983), p. 45.] 18. These are dead, these fellows; they feel not. We are not for the poor and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk. Commentary: This idea is confirmed. Those who sorrow are not real people at all, not “stars”—for the time being. The fact of their being “poor and sad” proves them to be “shadows,” who “pass & are done.” The “lords of the earth” are those who are doing thei…

Probably Mr, George will say (with a maiden blush) that his novel is none the worse for that; he would deny the truth of the poet‘s vision—insist that the cosmos is but incoherency of heterogeneous incident, I may, however, urge with more hope of his attention that his novel breaks off at the really interesting part. What did Suzette say? Did the family tyranny make a man of Henri? Were they married,and, if so, what came of it ? I wait patiently on Mr. Georg…

…uct on the resuit so obtained. Geomancy has the advantage of being rigorously mathematical. A hand-book of the science is to be found in Equinox I, II. The objection to its use lies in the limited number of the symbols. To represent the Universe by no more than 16 combinations throws too much work upon them. There is also a great restriction arising from the fact that although 15 symbols appear in the final figure, there are, in reality, but 4, the remaining 11 being drawn by an inéluctable process from the “Mothers”. It may be added that the t…

I think you should have a copy of The Equinox of the Gods and make The Book of the Law your constant study. Such value as my own work may possess for you should amount to no more than an aid to the interpretation of this book. 2. It may be that later on you will want a copy of Eight Lectures on Yoga so I am putting a copy aside for you in case you should want it. 3.

Neuburg’s ‘Triumph of Pan’ The Equinox’ Office), much of which merits the ambiguous distinction of being unusual, ‘Though yy no means deficient in originality, vigour or imaginative power, his verse is too often-cumbered with the fantastic symbols of a species of erotic mysticism, into which we feel no desire to probe; while the lack of reticence consistently displayed constitutes an artistic blemish not lightly to be excused. ‘The author's…

HOW TO RECOGNIZE MASTERS 321 1 It was part of my plan for The Equinox to prepare a final edition of the work of Dr. Dee and Sir Edward Kelly. I had a good many of the data and promised myself to complete them by studying the manuscripts in the Bodleian Library at Oxford-which , incidentally, I did in the autumn; but it struck me that it would be useful to get my large paintings of the four Elemental Watch Towers which I had made in Mexico. I thought these were probably in Boleskine. I decided to go up there for a fortnight or so. Incidentally, …

It is one of those eternal truths of Nature which persist, no matter what the environment, in respect of place or period.” To these remarks I can but smile my most genial assent. The only objection that I can take to them is to point out that the con notation of the word “chastity” may have been misunderstood from a scientific point of view, just as modern science has modi fied our conce…
