…ct, O Sri Cankaracharya, does not make a theory; let us remember your fate, and avoid generalising on insufficient evi- dence. With this word of warning, I leave the metaphysician to wallow in his mire, and look toward better times for the great problems of philosophy. Remember that when the solution is attained it is not the solution of one learned man for his fellows, but one realised and assimilated by every man in his own consciousness. And what the solution may be none of us can foreshadow. To hoist the problem on to the horns of a dilemma…

…being the arithmetical mean between 418 (the Magical Formula of the New Aeon) and 666, my own cipher. I had never succeeded in finding a word to express this idea of the unification of my own nature with that of my dynamic structure. It must surely strike the most sceptical mind as remarkable that an untrained woman, wholly ignorant of Cabbalistic formulae, should obtain words, letters and numbers, so accurately interwoven, so complete an hieroglyph of an idea which defied my skill to analyse. As is my custom I sought in the Holy Books and in t…

…ion. It doesn’t afford the scope. It’s either Paris or New York for yours sincerely, Elgin Feccles.” I don’t know why I didn’t believe a word of the tale ; but I didn’t. The heroin was working beautifully. I hadn’t the slightest inclination to talk to Haidée. In the same way she took no notice of me. She never uttered a word. Lou was in the same condition. She was apparently listening to what Feccles was saying; but she made no remark, and preserved a total detachment. The whole scene had not taken three minutes. We reached the Petit Savoyard a…

… Ogles the crowd of bystanders With those wicked glittering eyes of hers. Perched high above me the foul bird My father belches his lewd word, Triumphant in his scheme’s success That binds the globe in bitterness. Blithe, the hag and the baboon Frisk it to the tuneless tune Of a sow that drums upon A half-rotted skeleton. Round me stretch the busy lines Of architects at their designs — Brothels, jails and hospitals, Legislatures, arsenals,

…Sepher Sephiroth of your own! What a positively beastly thing to suggest! However, I do suggest it. After all, it's simple enough. Every word you come across, add it up, stick it down against that number in a book kept for the purpose. That may seem tedious and silly; why should you do all over again the work that I have already done for you? Reason: simple. Doing it will teach you Qabalah as nothing else could. Besides, you won't be all cluttered up with words that mean nothing to you; and if it should happen that you want a word to explain so…

…isleading hieroglyph. It stated only part of the truth, and it implied a fundamental falsehood. He consequently determined to modify the Word in such a manner as to fit it to represent the Arcana unveiled by the Aeon of which He had attained to be the Logos. The essential task was to emphasize the fact that nature is not catastrophic, but proceeds by means of undulations. It might be suggested that Manvantara and Pralaya are in reality com- plementary curvesj but the Hindu doctrine insists strongly on denying continuity to the successive phases…

… So I could not properly understand this Book; how then could I effectively promulgate it? I comprehended but dimly that it contained my Word; for the Grade of Magus then seemed to me unthinkably high above me. Also, let me say that the True Secrets of this Grade are unfathomable and awful beyond all expression;1 the process of initiation thereto was continuous over years, and contained the most sublime mystic experiences—beyond any yet recorded by man—as mere incidents in its terrific Pageant. 1 [This is treated of in “Liber I vel Magi”; see W…

There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the aeons! Hell. 42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will. 43. Do that, and no other shall say nay. 44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. 45.

…. The burden of bought boys. Behold, dear Lord, How plump their buttocks be, lift up Thine eyes, See how their cocks stand at an amorous word, How their lips suck out life until love dies, See, Lord, Thou knowest, how wearily one lies Cursing the lusts that fail, the deeds that tire ; Shrunk is San Cresce to a sorry size. This is the end of every man’s desire.
