Tale of Archais

…he world, linked hand in hand, Moonlight for your sleep, and breezes Fresh from where the Ocean freezes, And the cold Aurora stands With new lilies in her hands. Happy lovers, twilight falls, Let us leave you for a while, Guarding all the golden walls With the weapon of a smile. Silver arrows from the maiden With new labours laden

The Book of Thoth

… when the fiery god Horus took the place of the airy god Osiris in the East as Hierophant (see Atu V). At the begin‐ ning, then, of this new Aeon, it is fit to exhibit the message of that angel who brought the news of the new Aeon to earth. The new card is thus of necessity an adaptation of the Stélé of Re‐ vealing. Around the top of the card is the body of Nuith, the star‐goddess, who is the category of unlimited possibility; her mate is Hadit, the ubiquitous point‐of‐view, the only philosophi‐ cally tenable conception of Reality. He is repres…

He made numerous attempts over the years, only the first of which was published in his lifetime.1 The rest, including the “new” or “long” commentary that comprises the present book — remained unedited in typescript. He produced the first draft of the “new commentary” in 1919 E.v. and more than doubled its length dur­ ing 1921-22; he later added the occasional note. 1 A historical survey of the writing of the various commentaries to The Book of the Law may be found in the Editor’s Introduction to Crow­ ley’s Magick (Book 4, Parts I…

Liber Aleph

… sound these, and trim thy Sails accordingly, not thinking that thou art in the open Sea. And if so be that thou in thy sounding findest new Channels, rejoice and map them for the Profit of thy Fellows; But remember always that to find a new Way up a Precipice removeth not the Precipice. For where thou, o Angel and yet Man, hast trod delicately albeit without Fear, Fools will rush in to their Destruction. c

…igation will occupy Chapter VI. The Master Therion, in the Seventeenth year of the Aeon, has reconstructed the Word I A O to satisfy the new conditions of Magick imposed by progress. The Word of the Law being Thelema, whose number is 93, this number should be the canon of a corresponding Mass. Accordingly, he Has expanded I A O by treating the O as an Ayin, and then adding Vau as prefix and affix. The full Word is then wn whose number is 93. We may analyse this new Word in detail and demonstrate that it is a proper hieroglyph of the Ritual of S…

The Star in the West

THE NEW WINE 283 midst new -born spheres and hoary -headed worlds , “ I would that I were the sky that I might be all eyes to behold thee ,” till the stars circle about us , and the wild comets speed by , and suns embrace suns , and the moons melt shrieking through the firmament . Then all powers will dissolve , and the great golden dawn effulgent will flash through the portals of night , standing before us bride of our desire , robed in a million suns , the stars flaming in her hair , incarnate symbol of perpetual youth . So we feel with Crowl…

The Law is for All

…eat; and that the more widely the principles of The Book of the Law are adopted, the better chance there will be for our escape from a renewal, on a more disastrous scale, of the calamities of the past quarter of a century. If those principles come to be generally adopted, I believe that mankind will issue triumphantly from the evils of its past. A veritable “New Order” will be set up, bringing with it a general realization of what the “Good Life” means, and operating with a veritably “revolutionizing” effect beyond the most sanguine dreams of …

John St. John

…e answer avails him, and in its strength he is uplifted by his aspiration— and now he stands upright. Now then he makes a journey in his new house, and perceives at stated times, each time preceded by a new ordeal and equilibration, the forces that surround him. Death he sees, and the Life of Nature whose name is Sorrow, and the Word that quickeneth these, and his own self—and when he hath recognised these four in their true nature he passes to the altar once more and as the apex of a descending triangle is admitted to the lordship of the Doubl…

…ho hunted me , The thunder crash , the swollen stream , I worshipped - wanton cruelty , Mad perils of a maniac dream . I peopled earth a new found hell With the new devil of my soul , That thought might find a place to dwell And the dire chaos seem a whole . For strange I saw my first sun rise And felt his warmth upon my flesh And screaming , with distorted eyes Fled from the dancing shadow - mesh ; And strange the spinning river whirled Past stone and tree which had no feet , And in my misbegotten world A Devil - god was good to meet . I found…

THE NEW WINE 315 These two men had glimpses into total conscious ness , of which clear consciousness , as Ribot says, is but a small portion , just as distinct vision is but a small portion of total vision . ' The mystic , as the yogi , sets out to know the un knowable , and as “ it is just as grave an illusion to attribute morality to a stone as it is to think to find the supernatural in the world of phenomena ," ? so in the inmost depths of the ego alone , itself unthinkable , lies the source of all mystic experience . “ I live , yet not I, b…

This agony was not new; I had felt it ages ago, in the same room, among the same people, and hearing the same conversation. To most men, such a sensation has happened at some time, but it is seldom more than vague and momentary. With me it was sufficiently definite and lasting to be examined and located as an actual memory. I saw it in an instant, preceded and followed by the succes…

Leave the fever and the feast, Leave the friend thou lovest best; For thou must walk in barefoot ways, On hills, where God is near to praise . Then answered I, “ Sweet Magdalen , God 's servant, once beloved of men , Why didst thou change old ways for new , Thy trailing red for corded blue , Roses for ivy on thy brow , That splendour for this barren vow ? ” Gentle of speech she answ…

Songs of the Spirit

…lory set ; The sun is blotted, and the skies are riven— A God flames forth my spirit to beget ; And where my body and his love are met A new desire possesses altogether My whole new self as in a golden net Of transcendental love one fiery tether, Dissolving all my woe into one sea of weather. So I am ready to assume the Cross, Start on my journey with the last word said ; Turn my back resolute on dung and dross, And face the future with no twitch of dread, But dare to converse with the holy dead, And taste the earnest of the church’s bliss.
