The Equinox (Volume I, Number II)

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…

… the classical description of the Abyss, the student should consult Liber 418, The Vision and the Voice, especially the Tenth Æthyr. The Equinox, Vol. I, No.5, Supplement.) At the bottom of the card, accordingly, are shown nascent forms, whorls, crystals, seeds, pods, symbolising the beginnings of life. In the midst is the Camel which is mentioned in the chapter quoted above. In this card is the one link between the archetypal and formative worlds. 1The tradition of the best schools of Hindu mysticism has a precise parallelism. The final obstac…

THE EQUINOX The Kerux, however, at once bars the way, as the Candidate is still unpurified. Thereupon the Goddesses of the Scales purify and consecrate him. This is the first consecration. ‘But even as there be four pillars at the extremities of a sphere when the ten Sephiroth are projected therein; so also are there four separate consecrations of the Candidate.” The reception and consecration takes place in the black portion of Malkuth ; when it is finished the Candidate is conducted to the foot of the altar, the citrine portion of Malkuth, an…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX of Mr. Pound’s—‘going through the motions.’ The author ‘goes through the mo- tions’ not only in L’homme Moyen Sensuel: he is always making you think he is about to do something, then he never does it. Take any of the first four Pavannes pieces. There are all the preliminaries, but never the achievement. The most elaborate and painstaking preparations have been made for Mr. Pound’s marriage with his Art, but alas! the union has never been consummated. Yet even about his sterility there is something engaging. He is much too Amer- ican…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX reader like Christiansen. Nor is it particularly encouraging to those who believe in him when they find him compelled to produce a book like this. It is very clev- erly compiled, most readable and amusing, but there seems to be no care to dis- criminate between well authenticated cases and evident inventions. The critical spirit is hopelessly undeveloped. In particular, I must protest against the pub- lishing of Mr. Machen’s excellent short story about the Angels of Mons with- out any reference to its author, as if there were one si…

It had been sent to my brother’s Club and had been lying there for a month, and all the while I had been waiting and hoping for its arrival. Then, when hope was about dead, I obtained a trace of it. It came as a drink 149

THE EQUINOX be of higher rank than the Second Degree; they must volunteer for this service at the conclusion of that ceremony; and therefore they give up their own pros- pect of advancement in the Order for one year, that they may serve their fellows. This is then the first lesson in our great principle, the attainment of honour through renunciation, “The degree of Knights of the East and West is but a bridge between the first and second series; but it is important, for in that grade a new pledge-form must be signed, and the new Knight vowed to…

… every‐day commonplace way is divination. The traditional technical method of divination by the Tarot here follows: It is taken from The Equinox, Vol I, No.8, and its publication is authorized by Frater O. M. Adeptus Exemp‐ tus. 1. THE SIGNIFICATOR. Choose a card to represent the Querent, using your knowledge or judgment of his character rather than dwelling on his physical characteristics. 2. Take the cards in your left hand. In the right hand hold the wand over them, and say: I invoke thee, I A O, that thou wilt send H R U, the great Angel th…

R. et A.C. Now did I deem it well that I should rest awhile before resuming my labours in the Great Work, seeing that he, who sleepeth never, shall fall by the wayside, and also remembering the twofold sign: the Power of Horus: and the Power of Hoor-pa-Kraat.* Now, the year being yet young,…

THE EQUINOX a “Péche Melba”? You are not a “trivial” Mrs. Warren; what do you mean by “plumping down” before me this “little bit of fluff”? Now don’t be too bored or too serious, Joseph, be a good fellow even towards those who are unlike you, for a good heart is worth a dozen good heads and heaven only knows how many bad ones. Eat your “scoff” and enjoy it; give the girl a kiss—even if among the boats; and shake hands with the Chaplain— after all he probably agreed with you over the Boulter Case. Here surely is a link between you! Drop the “ins…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX I feel a secret Joy to-night. The unaccountable inner Joy which transforms everything and frees the soul from its shackles. All seems so good to-night; this simple life, the tent by the sea, the night air, the happy tired feeling after the day’s work, the presence of my two dear ones, and all the dear ones of which I am a part, the presence of Adonai within and without. It is good to have lived for this. (This is dreadful! You must not mistake ‘feeling good’ for a mystic state. O.M.) Aug. 9, 9.59 to 10.26 P.M. During this meditation…

THE EQUINOX where was no art to cut or polish, so that they look like bits of glass or half-sucked sweetmeats? The art of Russia has always been either without art, or with art derived. Napoleon was probably in an extremely bad temper when he spoke of Saint Basil’s as “that mosque,” but it is a mosque. It is probably the greatest building in the world in its peculiar way, but that way is the way of the mosque, even more so than St. Mark’s or the cathedral at Granada. But the great Russians are not less because they have been compelled to wear c…
