…ake, and its friend remorse. Crime we snatch, between spell and spell. Man is aglare, and is off unheard. Woman hath speech, of a single word. Hell may be heaven, for earth is hell! So do I laugh, and the hideous coarse Peals like applause re-echo and cease. Here in the close and noisome cave, Drunk on the breath of the thieves and whores Close as they cram in the maw of the pit, Sick with the stench of the kisses that rave Round me, surfeiting sense, in scores; Mad with their meaning, I smoke and sit Riming at random through my teeth, Gray wit…

Smote the blasting hazel rod On the scarlet lips of God ; Trampled Cross and rosy core ; Brake the thunder-tool of Thor ; Meek and holy acolyte Of the priestly hells of spite Sleek and shameless catamite Of the beasts that prowl by night !

…of mankind gold looks like dross unless it be wrapped up in tinsel, and tenfold the proper price marked on it in plain figures, with the word "Sacrifice." Hence it is that the most successful merchants omit the gold altogether. "Oh; I didn't understand." "You'll observe that I can't explain this to [324] Cripps,; I shall have to spin some sort of a yarn." "Yes, yes." In point of fact the "yarn" was already spun; Cyril had not been divining by any means more occult than his innate sagacity; but Lord Juventius was one of those people who bow only…

… instincts, instead of guiding them. Not until he is familiar with them all should he perform the practices which enable him to read the Word of his Will. And then, having assumed conscious control of himself, that he may do his Will, he should make a point of using every faculty in a detached way (just as one inspects one’s pistols and fires a few rounds) without expecting ever to need them again, but on the general principle that if they were wanted, one might as well feel confident of the issue. This theory of initiation is so important to e…

My arm is weary as your souls are not Of beastliness: I have drawn my father’s sword, Hard as your virtue is the easy sort, Heavy to handle as your loves are light, Smooth as your lies, and sharper than your hates !

… whisper of sweet life Shakes in the shell-ear murmurous memories Of the old wonder of young ecstasies In the first hours when the white word of wife She won so hardly out of dark wild strife And mystery of peace; thine utter ease, Abandoned rapture! Caught and cut by seas Of sudden wisdom, stinging as a knife Swift struck sets all the blood a-tingle. Woe! What wakes within? What holiest intimation Of intimate knowledge of the lords of nature? She sees her fate smile out on her, doth know Her weird of womanhood, her noble station Among the star…

…es on, or if it be flawed by the defect of failure to considei some circum- stances whose concealed operation cancels the contract. In a word, divination, like any other science, is justified of its children. It would be extraordinary should so fertile a mother be immune from still-births, monstrosities, and abomons. We none of us dismiss our servant science with a kick and a curse every time the téléphoné gets out of order. The téléphoné people make no claim that it always Works and always Works right.1 Divination, with equal modesty, admits t…

…réation through controlled and formed préservation to the silence of destruction. The three sounds are harmonized into one; and thus the Word represents the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva; and the operations in the Universe of their triune energy. It is thus the formula of a Manvantara, or period of manifested existence, which alternâtes with a Pralaya, during which création is latent. Analysed Qabalistically, the Word is found to possess similar properties. A is the négative, and also the unity which concentrâtes it into a positive…

So standing, gliding, undeterred By any her alluring word That calls from older forest glades, My soul forgets the gentle maids That wooed me in the scarlet bowers, And golden cluster-woof of flowers; Forgets itself, content to be Between the moon and sea.

The cup of wine is in my hand ; the slaves await the master’s word ; My huqqa2 smoke to heaven curls, laden with maddening cannabis.3 I feel upon my jasmine-jar these eyes ; this brain its beauty knows, Its perfume roused to ecstasy by cunning strain of ambergris.4 Above, Habib my lover hangs ; his podex is the jasmine-jar ; His lips are softly closed on mine, one long unfa- thomable kiss. All, all is rapture ; who would shift one inch all mystery to disclose ? A fool is…

The third was wroth and rusty red, Yet not a word he said. The fourth was open and bold: His silence girt him like fine gold. The fifth was ruddy and fair of face ; He held his tongue a space. The sixth was many-coloured, but He kept his lips well shut. The last was like a full great moon ; He knew, but uttered not, his rune.

…d: Would you rather be told, or learn by experience? I replied, instantly: I would rather learn by experience. Suiting the action to the word, I dashed forward, plunged into the clump, and learnt. This incident is the key to the puzzle of my character. But, as a child, what did I see? I cannot think of anyone person who subsequently devoted his life to Magick who has not at least one early experience of seeing angels, or fairies, or something of the sort. But A.C.? Nary a one.
