The Equinox (Volume I, Number VII)

…: Lord; and He inclina/i unio me, and heard my cry.” IT was a brilliant May afternoon when the Prodigal re- turned. At the offices of the Equinox the usual constellation was assembled. Crowley lay lost in meditation upon the 15oo-guinea Persian rug, which he had received from the executors of the late John Brown; Neuburg, covered from head to foot with yellow paint and his own post-prandia! poetry, was yelling with laughter over a telegram which informed him that his favourite uncle had been disembowelled by a mad bull; Wieland, his head among t…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX of sweet nectar to a thirsty pilgrim, and it is wonderful how much better I feel. The note re Neophytes and Probationers has set me at rest about the silence of Fra P.A.; and confirms, what all the while I have suspected, that his delay in answering is a test. This confirmation is cheering, however hard the trial may have been, in so far as I had made up my mind to work on, whether he writes or not, and had got quite used to the idea of having to work out my own Path, without outside aid or encouragement. He was also pleased to find…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX altogether too strong for a circulation which even in its most robust days had been supplied solely by Horlick’s Malted Milk; only the kind of ink they use in France could have saved the dying saint, for no other ichor could have mingled freely with the liquor of his veins. Thrombonosis super- vened; with one last gasp of “Rabboni, that is to say, Master!” the dying saint clenched his moribund grasp on Crowley’s neck; the word “ periphrasticalism” burst rather than sobbed from his labia, and the thanatogenous hagio- cratist halated …

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX God of the Christians under the figure of a man with an ass’s head. Christians will shrug their shoulders when they see this knavery, and pray God for the poor ignorants who imagine that they insult them. M. the Count Joseph de Maistre, after having, in one of his most eloquent paradoxes, represented the hangman as a sacred being, and a permanent incarnation of divine justice upon earth, suggested that one should raise to the old man of Ferney a statue executed by the hangman. There is depth in this thought. Voltaire, in effect, als…
