Collected Works (Vol. I)

…Life, by its masculine Whirlings, and to gladden us and to bring us to the Bosom of the Great Mother, Death. Before what is known as the Equinox of the Gods, a little while ago, there was an initiated Formula which expressed these Ideas to the Wise. As these Formulas are done with, it is of no Consequence if I reveal them. Truth is not eternal, any more than God; and it would be but a poor God that could not and did not alter his Ways at his Pleasure. This Formula was used to open the Vault of the Mystic Mountain of Abiegnus, within which lay (…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX Tarr. By WynpHam Lewis. Alfred A. Knopf. Price, $1.75. Mr. Wynpuam Lewis was living some few years ago on the charity of a young lady, the admired and honored friend of many artists. She had taken compassion on him, because he told her that he wrote poetry—an excusable falsehood. Per- haps he even believed it. She asked me if I would help him by publishing poems of his, and I wrote to him. He replied by complaining that the young lady afore- said had tried to seduce him. This appeared an uncomplimentary reference to Augustus John, W…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX As this cannot be done with comfort in this country (England), let your chief practice take place an hour or half an hour before your breakfast hour. 4. If possible set apart a room wherein to carry out your exercises; keep it clean, and only keep in it objects which please you; burn a little incense in the room before beginning an exercise; keep the room holy to yourself, and do not allow yourself or another to do anything unbalanced in thought or action in it. In will and deed make this room a temple and a symbol of that greater T…

…ample accomplishment of each and every one of these is insisted upon with the most rigorous rigidity. * 1. This book is published in the Equinox Vol. III No. 2, 2. Liber 185 need not be quoted at length. It is needful only to say that the Aspirant is trained systematically and comprehensively in the various technical practices which form the basis of Our Work. One may become expert in any or all of these without necessarily making any real progress, just as a man might be first-rate at grammar, syntax, and prosody without

The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE EQUINOX and Omega=2,152; and a hexagon described round a circle having a circum- ference of 2,151 has a perimeter of 2,368. 2,151 also is the sum of 1,480 (Christos) and 671 (Thora the Bride). A vesica 358 broad is 620 long, and 620 is the value of Kether, etc, etc. (see p. 124). This book is a veritable model of industry and research, but in spite of an excellent index, an index in the ordinary sense is almost out of place in a work of so complicated a character as this; what is really needed is a table of the numerical correspondences, si…

(See the Equinox, The Temple of Solomon the King; The Vision and the Voice 8th Aethyr; also Liber Samekh, etc. etc.) This is the essential work of every man; none other ranks with it either for personal progress or for power to help one’s fel- lows. This unachieved, man is no more than the unhappiest and blindest of animals. He is conscious of his own incomprehensible calamity, and clumsily incapable of repairing it. A…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

THE EQUINOX it is interesting reading, which is more than we can say of most recent works dealing with the Kénigsberg philosopher; except, however, two, which, as it happens, are also written by soldiers, viz., Captain William Bell McTaggart’s “Absolute Relativism,” and Captain J. F. C. Fuller’s “Star in the West.” This work, however, more than these two, which only deal with Kant en passant, shows him to be, as we have always considered him, the wild Irish- man of Teutonic thought, who recklessly gallops at the philosophic hurdles set up by th…
