This: to-day I fed on oysters, ris-de-veau, Beefsteak and grapes. Will you repay My meal with anger, rosy grow With shame because instead of you I went to feed chez Lavenue? The habit anthropophagous, Nice as it is, is not for us. I love you: will you share my life, Become my mistress or my wife? Agreed: but can your kisses feed me? Is it for dinner that you nee…

…ere is confinnation in detail of AL, I: 41. This act is a definite electrical or magnetic phenomenon. No other considerations apply. (It will therefore occasionally seem, to the outsider, unreasonable.) The only exception-it is only apparently so-is when satisfaction of the impulse would manifestly thwart the True Will more than it would help to fulfil it; any such case must be judged on its merits. "But always unto Me." The word "always" admits of no exception; "unto Me" may be paraphrased as the "fulfilment of one possibility necessary to the…

Chapter II A Verses 28-32 119 The Qabalists represent the mind as a complex of six elements, whereas the Will is single, the direct expression as “The Word” of the Self. The mind must inform the Understanding, which then presents a simple idea to the Will. This issues its orders accord ingly for unquestioning execution. If the Will should appeal to the mind, it must confuse itself with incomplete and uncoordinated ideas. The clamour of these cries crowns Anarchy, and action becomes impossible. 31. If Power asks why, then is Power weakness. Com…

… the antithesis of Yang and Yin.” Even Kwaw felt tired, and applied himself to saké-and-soda. Refreshed, he continued: “ The men who are willing by this means to become the saviours of their country shall be called the Synagogue of Satan, so as to keep themselves from the friendship of the fools who mistake names for things. There shall be masters of the Synagogue, but they shall never seek to dominate. They shall most carefully abstain from inducing any man to seek the Tao by any other way than that of equilibrium. They shall develop individua…

THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 51 Ay De Machina Magica (Of the Mechanism of Magick) O! I put forth my Will, and my Pen moveth upon the Paper, by Cause that my will mysteriously hath Power upon the Muscle of my Arm, and these do Work at a mechanical Advantage against the Inertia of the Pen. I cannot break down the Wall opposite me by Cause that I cannot come into mechanical Relation with it; or the Wall at my Side, by Cause that I am not strong enough to overcome its Inertia. To win that Battle I must call Time and Pick-axe to mine aid. But how cou…

I will go down and mingle with the throng, Find some debasing dulling sacrifice, Some shameless harlot with thin lips grown grey In desperate desire, and so with song And wine fling hellward. Yes, she does not rise— O if she opened once her eyes!

And to each will come the knowledge of his finite will, whereby one is poet, one prophet, one worker in steel, another in jade.

…2 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS What you say about tension and eagerness and haste is very true. See The Book of the Law , Chapter 1:44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose , delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect . This, from a practical point of view, is one of the most important verses in the book . The unusual word unassuaged is very interesting. People generally suppose that 'will' is the slave of purpose, that you cannot will a thing properly unless you are aiming at a definite goal. But this is not the case. Thinking of the goal…

…of me. Tear down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter. Commentary: Mohammed struck at the root of the insane superstition of tabu with his word: “Women are your field; go in unto them as ye will.”1 He only struck half the blow. I say: go in unto them as ye will and they will. Two-thirds of modern mis ery springs from Woman’s sexual dissatisfaction. A dissatisfied woman is a curse to herself and to everybody in her neighbour ho…
