…through it with me: I'll make it clear, and you can make notes of your troubles and their solution for the use of future members. 7. The Book of Thoth. Surely all terms not in a good dictionary are explained in the text. I don't see what I can do about it, in any case; the same criticism would apply to (say) Bertrand Russell's Introduction to Mathematical Physics. wouldn't it? Is x an R-ancestor of y if y has every R-hereditary that x has, provided x is a term which has the relation R to something or to which something has the relation R? (Enth…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING the starlight, bewilders him and is gone; for he has opened “The Book of Concealed Mystery” and has read: “Before there was equilibrium countenance beheld not countenance.” The words: ‘ Yehi Aour” trembled on his lips; the very chaos of his being seemed of a sudden to shake itself into form—vast and terrible; but the time had not been fulfilled, and the breath of the creation of a new world caught them up from his half-opened mouth and carried them back into the darkness whence they had all but been vibrated.* Fro…

…oceed to what I have termed the Time Process, the first Word of the Law then is mwxo3a. Now in the Hebrew Scriptures the first word of a Book is also its Title. Thus Genesis is called by the Rabbins “ B’rasheth,” or “ In the Beginning,” wherefore we may regard this Word as not the first word—albeit that is shadowed forth therein—but as the seal and title and Key of the whole book. Holding this in mind, let us proceed to analyse it. The number of its letters is six, the Seal of Creation, and their total numeric value is 2911. 2911 = 13 = Death, …

…will prepare a wine to intoxicate the young men and the maidens. And now the Table is become the universe; every star is a letter of the Book of Enoch. And the Book of Enoch is drawn therefrom by an inscrutable Mystery, that is known only to the Angels and the Holy Sevenfold Table. While I have been gazing upon this table, an Adept has come forth, one from each tier, except the inmost Tier. And the first drove a dagger into my heart, and tasted the blood, and said: xabuges, nabapss, uabapic, nabapds, nabapss, xeebcrpes. And the second Adept has…

… not succeed in this, astounding as it may seem, as I had 93 well in my mind, also 31 as the value of AL and LA, whose importance in the Book I understood perfectly. The text literally teems with hints; yet I never thought of 31 as the Key. Such blindness is a miracle more surprising than any amount of {801} perspicacity.) And in actual fact he did so discover that Key, two and a half years later. Those unacquainted with our methods may ask for the basis of the assurance that the key in question really fitted the lock. The answer is that the mo…

… a know- ledge of HermeticGreek, muchmeaningwhich escapes us in the authorised version. In the “ Unsealing,” Mr Pryse goes solid for the book, the whole book, and nothing but the book, as the veritable work of the Apostle John, hence the clergy may extend a welcome hand to it. He quite believes it is a work of the Apostle John, and defends the style; amongst these there are some doubtless who are narrow-minded, but here, and still more prominently in America, there are broad-minded clergy who will welcome the Unsealing. The Freemasons too in th…

THE VISION AND THE VOICE the house opens, and I see in it an old man, sitting by the table. Heis blind. Yet he writeth in a great book, constantly. I see what he is writing: ‘The words of the Book are as the leaves of the flowers in the garden. Many indeed of these my songs shall go forth as maidens, but there is one among them, which one I know not, that shall be a man-child, whose name shall be NEMO, when he hath beheld the face of the Father, and become blind.” (All this vision is most extraordinarily pleasant and peace- ful, entirely withou…

… I travelled from Louisville to Detroit by a railroad whose nickname was the "Big Four," my object being some business connected with my Book 4. The name of my express was the "Big Four"-it left from No. 4 platform at 4 p.m. My sleeping berth was No. 4 in Car No.4 ; and my ticket was no. 44,444. It ought to have been April 4, I suppose ; but it wasn't. Last week a letter from me appeared in the Sunday Dispatch with regard to the Everest Mystery of 1921. I expressed my view that the two lost climbers, last seen on an easy snow-slope near the sum…

…t's hardly reasonable to expect complete fruition after only 40 years. What seems to me the most encouraging symptom of all is this: the Book itself, and the system of Magick based thereon, and the bankruptcy of all previous systems (as set forth in Eight Lectures on Yoga, Magick, The Book of Thoth, and other similar words) do furnish us all with a clear, concise practical Method (free from all contamination of the humbug of faith and superstition) whereby anyone of us may attain to "the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel," a…

So, like the foolish, doting sire I am, I gave her thirty days to find you. This Must dumb you with astonishment. Tannhauser. Well, no ! The details, unfamiliar ! But the theme I knew.

…st know How utter sweet the full fruit of thy woe, And how His heel hath crushed the serpent’s fangs, Be with me in the birth of this my book, These songs of mine, poor children, like to die ; Yet, if they may not perish utterly, It is to thee for sustenance I look. Mother of God ! be with me in success, Abide with me if peradventure fail These faint songs, murmurs of a summer gale That my heart clothes within a mortal dress ; And with thy sympathy, their bliss or bale Shall be too light to shake my happiness.
