A moon-white sickle crowns that flashing brow ; Thine head like the wise bird Splendidly grim That utters that unutterable word ; Thy body like the bright sun in his strength ; And all thy virgin length Armed with the sword and balances, Gold as the ultimate galaxies — Thou art evanished. Surely the Presence of the Lord wast thou

To sum up, the first task is to separate the astral form from the physical body, the second to develop the powers of the astral body, in particular those o£ sight, travel, and interprétation 3 third, to unify the two boclies without muddling them. This being accomplished, the magician is htted to deai with the invisible. Il It is now useful to continue with considérations of other planes, which hâve commonly been classed under the Astral.

Ofttimes the Spirit of the Lord Descends and floods me with his breath ; My words are fashioned as a sword, My voice is like the voice of death. The thunder of the Spirit’s wings Brings terror to the hearts of kings. A

Were I God, he Had made me as fit For all things as now, But added a brow Cool — O how cool ! Fool ! Fool ! Fool ! With a terrible laugh he springs out of sight down the crags. SCENE III SIR PERCY PERCIVALE, in the Hall. O the gloom of these distasteful tomes ! The horror of the secrets here discovered ! Wake, ye salamandrines ; sleep, ye gnomes ! We…
ODE TO VENUS CALLIPYGE WHERE was light when the body came Out of the womb of a perished prayer ? Where was life when the sultry air, Hot with the lust of night and shame, Brooded on dust, when thy shoulders bare Shone on the sea with a sudden flame Into all Time to abundant fame ? Daughter of Lust by the foam of the sea ! Mother of flame ! Sister of shame ! Tiger that Sin nor her son cannot tame ! Worship to thee ! Glory to thee ! Venus Callipyge, mother of me. Fruitless foam of a sterile sea, Wanton waves of a vain desire, Maddening billows fl…
…always be held erect, the aspirant should in fact adopt what the drill-book calls “the first position of a soldier,” and never allow the body in any way to collapse. The “ Bhagavad-Gita” upon this point says: In a pure place, established in a fixed seat of his own, neither very much raised nor very low . . . in a secret place by himself... . There . . . he should practise Yoga for the purification of the self. Holding the body, head and neck erect, immovably steady, looking fixedly at the point of the nose with un- wandering gaze. When these po…

… my whore ; her hellish hiss, Her slaver venoms soul and strength ; life flees Repugnant from the corpse-caress. Ah, this Rots blood and body ; see, the liquor’s lees I drained, whose pangs are fierce with Syphilis. Christ God, damn soul, but quench the pain of these ! This is th’ abyss ! * * * This is th’ abyss. Behold wherein I lurk The lazar-house my mind, wherein do work The horrid charnel-priests, whose loathly song Sickens my soul, and quells the spirit strong. Hell-fire within my heart ! and poisoned blood Through every vein and artery p…
…n, Of my own mind, the Genii of the Seven, To come and live with me and be my dear, To love me in the spirit without fear ;— Leaving the body’s love to follow at even. Seemeth it not absurd ? to use the thought, The utterly divine impersonal Mind of a man, the pure, the spiritual, To such a purpose rather less than nought, A woman’s love—considering that all Wise men assure us that it may be bought ! 33

The A’sanas, or Positions. According to the “ Pradipika ” and the ‘“ Shiva Sanhita,” there are 84 A’sanas; but Goraksha says there are as many A’sanas as there are varieties of beings, and that Shiva has counted eighty-four lacs of them.* The four most important are: Siddhasana, Padmasana, Ugrasana and Svastikdsana, which are described in the Shiva Sanhita as follows:+ The…

… before the Children of men! Commentary: Here Nuit appeals, simply and directly, recog nizing the separate function of each Star of her Body. Though all is One, each part of that One has its own special work, each Star its particular Orbit. In addressing me as warrior lord of Thebes, it appears as if She perceived a certain continuity or identity of myself with Ankh-f-n- khonsu, whose Stele is the Link with Antiquity of this Revela tion.1 See Equinox 1(7), pp. 363-400, for the account of this event.1 2 1 [Ankh-f-n-khonsu (Ankhefenkhons i) was…
87 BATHYLLUS ENOUGH of the frail aspergillus ! Enough of the censer of bronze ! Thy beauty, thy boy, thy Bathyllus, Whose body is soft as a swans, Splendid and sinewy slim, Cleanly and supple of limb, Waits for the hush of the hymn. O gather me up in the vigour Of virile embraces, and bear My youth to the rush and the rigour Of marvellous mountainous air ! Pass through the cool colonnades ! Up through the gloom of the glades ! Up ! we are done with the shades. My head is an ocean in anger With sleek and fantastical curls ; My lips like a sunse…
…lilies, Afloat in the fountains that spring, One Voice on the lake that is still, is The voice of our SAVIOUR the King. Let corn for His Body be gilded ! Pour wine for His Blood the unpriced ! That a temple of worship be builded For CHRIST and the Mother of CHRIST. Too pale the libation we spill is ; Too cold is the censer we swing ; The glory exceeds of Thy lilies, O Mother Divine of the King ! M 34

And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipres ence of my body. 27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his

And in relation to his body and mind he is but a vehicle of the forces that are beyond the Abyss. He will therefore speak, but as a man among men, of that which he has seen and heard. But he will not claim authority. He will not proclaim dogma. For all that in him from which such things proceed is no more. He will remain in the darkness of the City of the Pyramids under the Night of Pan, sitting silent through 106 seasons, the name …
