I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice. 59. My incense is of resinous woods & gums; and there is no blood therein : because of my hair the trees of Eternity. 60…

… earth, for their. pretended sacraments are no longer anything but allegorical mummeries; they no longer give grace; they no longer make God seen and touched; they are no longer, in a word, the signs of the almighty power of faith, but the compelled witnesses of the eternal impotence of doubt. It is, then, against faith itself that the Reformation pro- tested! Protestants were right only in their protest against the inconsiderate and persecuting zeal which wished to force consciences. They claimed the right to doubt, the right to have less reli…

And the snake is the magical power, which hath destroyed the primordial equili- brium. And the garden is the supernal Eden, where is Ayin, 70, the Eye of the concealed One, and the creative Lingam; and Daleth, love; and Nun the serpent.

Perhaps for this reason I invoked Thoth, the god of wisdom, presumably by the invocation printed in Liber Israfel (The Equinox, Vol. I, Vo. VII), which I knew by heart. I may also have been subconsciously wondering whether there was not something in her remarks, and wanted to be enlightened. The record says, "Thoth, invoked with great success, indwells us." But this strikes me as to some extent "written up" in a spirit of complacency, if not arrogance. I…

THE GOD-LETTERS 409 But the consonants? That is a harder nut to crack. Students of language have been accustomed to group the consonants exactly as we now happen to require . Here, in brief, is the list: Dentals, Labials, Gutturals. Various modifications extend them to fifty-nine and there are twenty-seven vowels.
