XXXVIII WHICH IS THE TRUE ONE? I ONCE knew a girl called Benedicta, who filled the atmosphere with the ideal, whose eyes shed forth the desire of greatness, beauty, glory, all that which makes a man be- lieve in immortality. But this miraculous girl was too lovely to live long, and some days after I had become acquainted with her she died. It was I myself that buried her, one day when the Spring swung its thurible even within cemeteries. It was I that buried her, well shut up into a bier of perfumed wood, incorruptible as are the cof- fers of I…

…owing this, the image of “the extended flame of mind”, as Zoroaster calls it, may well be subjoined to the former description. It is the True Will exploding the mind spontaneously. The influence of Taurus makes for steadiness, and that of the first decanate of Gemini for in‐ spiration. So let us picture him, “integer vitæ scelerisque purus”, a light‐shaft of the Ideal ab‐ sorbing the entire life in concentrated aspiration, passing from earthy Taurus to exalted Gem‐ ini. Here, too, is shewn (as in the Yi) the danger to the subject of this symbol…

…e obsessing spirit gains power to take hold of them at will, and utters by their mouths foulness and imbecility when the whim takes him. True souls would never seek so ignoble a means of manifesting in earth-life; their ways are holy, and in accord with Nature. While the true soul reincarnates as a renunciation, a sacrifice of its divine life and ecstasy for the sake of redeeming those who are not yet freed from mortal longings, the demon seeks incarnation as a means of gratifying unslaked lusts. Like a dumb beast in pain, the wife of Douglas w…

…s from ourselves when conscious thought ceases. But however you may feel about Ecstasy there is no doubt that it is an essential part of true religious feeling. Crowley says “ True Ceremonial Magic is entirely directed to attain this end, and forms a magnificent gymnasium for those who are not already finished mental athletes.” By act, word, and thought, both in quantity and quality, the one object of the ceremony is being constantly indicated. In order to induce this religious ecstasy in its highest form Crowley proposes to hold a series of re…

This one fact O’ermasters all eccentric circumstance : I love you—you, and not your attributes! CORA. Great noble soul! I hate myself the more That I must wound you further with the truth.

must not rely upon the false analogy of the Xylenes to rebut this argument. It is quite true that geometrical isomers act in différent manners towards the substances to which they are brought into relation. And it is of course necessary sometimes to rearrange the éléments of a molécule before that molécule can form either the masculine or the féminine element in a true Magical combination with some other molécule. It is therefore occasionally inévitable for a Magician to re- organize the structure of certain éléments before proceeding to his op…
