This unachieved, man is no more than the unhappiest and blindest of animais. He is conscious of his own incompréhensible calamity, and clumsily incapable of repairing it.

94 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS the Law is almost his only link with my work. That, and his use of the Ophidian Vibrations: I don't know which of us is better at it, but I am sure that he must be a very long way ahead of me if he is one of Them. You have already in these pages and elsewhere in my writings examples numerous and varied of the way in which They work. The list is far from complete.

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 Sword was his reason; and the Pantacle shall be his body, the temple of the Holy Ghost.

…rmly wretched since her arrival. She would boast of her superiority to sex, and continue by complaining that her husband absorbed in his work was starving her. She would proceed to claim great credit for being faithful to him, but we found out that she was carrying on any number of intrigues with the young bloods of Cefalu. Raoul, on his part, amply justified my faith in his future. A few weeks' work enabled him to fill the gaps in his knowledge of Magick and to unify its elements. He showed an understanding of the subject which was almost enou…

The card represents a pyramid viewed from above the apex. The base is formed by three wheels‐Mercury, Sulphur, and Salt; Sattvas, Rajas, and Tamas in the Hindu system; Aleph, Shin, and Mem‐Air, Fire, and Water‐the three Mother l…

… He is always fighting against odds, and always wins in the long‐the very long‐run. This is principally due to his enormous capacity for work, which he exercises for its own sake, “without lust of result”; perhaps his haughty contempt for the world at large‐which however coexists with profound and ecstatic respect for “every man and every woman” as “a star”—is responsible for this. When this card is badly dignified, the character degenerates. Each of the qualities men‐ tioned above is found in its antithesis. There is great cruelty in him, part…
