THE EQUINOX ‘exhibition of independent artists’ for ‘Salon des Independents, ‘ Bul- lier’s dancing saloon’ for ‘ Bal Bullier? ‘Lyons Bank’ for ‘Crédit Lyon- nais, ‘St. Germaine des Prés’ for ‘St. Germain des Prés, ‘ Dr. Popus’ for «Dr. Papus,’ ‘Rue de Madame’ for ‘Rue Madame, and so on. He puts the same place-name—first in translation, then in French, again and again; and as often as not gets both wrong! The constant chemical absurdities are perhaps Strindberg’s own and may have been made intentionally, as the book portrays the ravings of a mel…

…a; this is the forth‐ shadowing of the Aeon which is to follow this present one, presumably in about 2,000 years‐ ”the fall of the Great Equinox; when Hrumachis shall arise and the double‐wanded one as‐ sume my throne and place”. The present Aeon is too young to give a more definite representa‐ tion of this future event. But in this connection attention must be drawn to the figure of Ra‐ hoor‐khuit: “I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia; but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; & nought …

THE EQUINOX So this is where we are got to after these six thousand, or six thousand billion years (as the case may be), that, asking for bread, one man gives us the stone of Homoiousios and another the half-baked brick of Amphioxus. Both are in a way rationalists. Wolff gives us idea unsupported by fact, and argues about it for year after year; Treacle does the same thing for fact unsupported by idea. Nor does the one escape the final bankruptcy of reason more than the other. While the theologian vainly tries to shuffle the problem of evil, th…

THE EQUINOX “And on every hand, in its swarming courts and alcoves, you see the lowest fetichism intent in its grovelling rites.” How does this animal know what the people were doing? He could not speak a word of their language. He was seeing them for the first time, and his criti- cisms are just as valuable as would be those of a savage who dropped in on a telephone exchange. The wretched creature keeps on, page after page: “Barbarian, barbarism, barbarous—I am sorry to harp so much on these words. But they express the essence of the situation…

THE EQUINOX 8 P.M., Dec. 16. Have just been working out the meaning of the word obtained last night. I then thought the value was 507=“That which causes ferment” or 5 plus 7=12=He longed for, missed, etc. This shows how I went astray. I find however that the word actually adds to 607=Adam Primus. But 6 plus 7=13 Unity, Love, and The Tarot Trump is DEATH, and this is what he said he was writing. (Note Apr. 21, 1917. Ha=The Sun; tha=The Moon, as stated in the Hatha-Yoga Pradipiha.) .

I had no expectation, I think, of attaining any special success; but it came. I had performed the Operation of the Sacred Magick of Abra-Melin the Mage. It is unlawful to speak of the su…
