…agement. Listen! Faites attention! Achtung! Khabardar karol Just as soon as you start seriously to prepare a place for magical Work, the world goes more cockeyed than it is already. Don't be surprised if you find that six weeks' intense shopping all over London fails to provide you with some simple requisite that normally you could buy in ten minutes.

Let us therefore call the world a series of existences and have done with it, for it does not matter a jot what we mean by it so long as we work; very well then; Science is a part of this series, and so is Magic, and so are cows and angels, and so are landscapes, and so are visions ; and the difference between these existences is the difference which lies between a cheesemonger and a poet, between a blind man and one who can see.

XIV Farewell! O passionate world of changeful hours! Come, Lola, let us sleep ! Elysian groves Await us and the beatific bowers Where Love is ours at last — as we were Love's. Come, with our mouths still kissing, with our limbs Still twined, relax the ecstasy ! pass by To the abyss of night where no star swims ! On to the end beyond the prophecy ! Ah Lola mine! ” No happy end is this ” — I love you — ah! you love me — you love me! For we have passed beyond imagined bliss Into the kingdom of reality, Where we are crowned with flowers — yet close…

This Bloody Sacrifice is the critical paint of the World-Ceremony of the Proclamation of Horus, the Crowned and Conquering Child, as Lord of the Aeon. 2 The whole matter is prophesied in The Book of the Law itself; let the student take note, and enter the ranks of the Host of the Sun. (It is a pity that I cannot prove my footnote, but this Chapter XII was part of the original MS, advertised as to be published in 1912. You may take my word for it, for once. And…

The waving of thy dusky plumes in heaven Alone breathes gentle music to mine ears, So that despair is fain to flee, and fear Cowers far away amid the shades of even. “ Hope, ” is thy whisper, “ hope, and trust in Night ; My realm is the eternal, and my power The absolute.

KE®AAH KB THE DESPOT The waiters of the best eating-houses mock the whole world; they estimate every client at his proper value. This I know certainly, because they always treat me with profound respect. Thus they have flattered me into praising them thus publicly. Yet it is true; and they have this insight be- cause they serve, and because they can have no personal interest in the affairs of those whom they serve. An absolute monarch would be absolutely wise and good. But no man is strong enough to have no interest. Therefore the best king wou…

…the Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence & of Strength; my nemyss shrouds the night-blue sky. 71. Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time is nigh at hand. Commentary: This seemed a clear statement as to the War which was to come, and did come, in 1914 E.v. Later I thought that “the pillars of the world” meant “the Pillars of Hercules”—about the Straits of Gibraltar—and that the really big war would start there. P.s. I now ask if “twin warriors” imply a civil war? The Spanish troubles started in S. Spain and Morocco.1 1 [I.e.…
