Oracles

THE HILLS I75 Not death as ye name in derision The change to a cycle of pain, To a cycle of joy as a vision Ye chase, and may capture in vain. Endeth you peace, and your change is Like the change in a measure that shrills And slackens and ranges ; your passion estranges The love of the hills ! Nay ! death is a portal of passing To miseries other but sure. Yet the snow on the hills amassing The wind of an hour may endure ; But as day after day grows the summer The crystals melt one after one. The hill—shall they numb her ? Their frost overcome h…

The Winged Beetle

105 THE CHILD ALIGHT and alive is the holiest flame. Leap out, O ye sparks, at the half-hidden name For ever my glory, for ever my shame ! Rejoice, O my soul, if his happiness hear ! Exalt thee, my joy, if the spell shall uprear Delight in my dream, in the dream of my dear. By passion and clamour the music is vain. Resurges the stridence, insists it is pain ; Until, at the last, all the puzzle is plain. Cry out on Apollo ; he laughs at the whine. Evoke we a soul nor of man nor divine Deep-throned in a darker, unspeakable shrine. O beautiful, be…

…p this love of peace and bliss, The starry soul of wine, Destruction’s formidable kiss, The lamp of the divine : This shadow of a nobler name Whose life is strife, whose soul is fame ! I rather will exalt the soul Of man to loftier height, And kindle at a livelier coal The subtler soul of Light. From these soft splendours ofa dream T turn, and seek the Self supreme. This world is shadow-shapen of The bitterness of pain. Vain are the little lamps of ilove ! The hight of life is vain! Life, death, Joy, sorrow, age and youth Are phantoms of a furt…

The Law is for All

… involving the formula shT = ©. 93 is the numeration of thelema (Grk. deXrjgia, “will”) and agape (Grk. ayairr], “love”), as well as the name Aiwaz in Hebrew (FTP). See Crowley, Book 4, Parts I-IV, rev. ed., passim.] One of the first and most important points to be noted is that the whole Book of the Law rests upon a mathematical basis. It makes no partial appeal; it does not depend upon religious theory or racial tradition. One who knows far more than I do both of mathematics and of mysticism has thrown a clearer light than I could upon the ev…

Jephthah and Other Mysteries

… adamant as steel, And, like a mist of poison, heavily On my whole soul, bound down upon the wheel, _ There comes a spectre, dead, whose name is Fear. Ah God, he comes so near! In the pale fear of Death I have no share. I am through Love triumphant over him ; I almost yearn toward the stooping brim, And fledge the wings my soul is given to wear, And float in sunlight to the dome above, Clothed in the light of everlasting Love, Till an archangel from the golden stair Trumpet me out a welcome, and a dove With fiery feet and silver kisses come To …

…Sword his human force. The Cup is hollow to receive the influence from above. The Pantacle is flat like the fertile plains of earth. The name Pantacle implies an image of the All, 07n?ie in paruo; but this is by a magical transformation of the Pantacle. Just as we made the Sword symbolical of everything by the force of our Magick, so do we work upon the Pantacle. That which is merely a piece of common bread shall be the body of God ! The Wand was the will of man, his wisdom, his word ; the Cup was his understanding, the vehicle of grace; the Sw…

"And thy crime?" "I love a mortal." Artemis drew back once more. "Thou, too, hast loved," said Malkah. "I drew my mortal lovers unto me; I did not sully my life with theirs; I am virgin unto Pan!" "I also am virgin; for whom I loved is dead. He[14] was a poet, and he loved thee above women, `And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne clustered around …
