… feels throughout that his occultism is the result of study and not of experience. That is why I say exoteric. Although the style of the book is comparatively undistinguished, and some- times lapses into actual slovenliness, Mr. Brodie-Innes frequently attains beauty, and beauty of a positive and original kind. Some of his sea-pictures are quite fine. But the magic of style that renders Arthur Machen so marvellous is lack- ing. “Old as the World” is always interesting; it is never enthralling. “Old as the World” is much better than “Morag the S…

THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 71 Br De Sri Krishna et de Dionyso (Of Sri Krishna, and of Dionysus) RISHNA has Names and Forms innumerable, and I know not His true Human Birth, for His Formula is of the Major Antiquity. But His Word hath spread into many Lands, and we know it to-day as INRI with the secret IAO concealed therein. And the Meaning of this Word is the Working of Nature in Her Changes; that is, it is the Formula of Magick whereby all Things reproduce and recreate themselves. Yet this Extension and Specialisation was rather the Word of …

…lty in arriving. We frankly confess that this part of the exposition bafiies our comprehension. The quaint symbolical frontispiece to the book is a sort of picture-puzzle to the uninitiated. Ca tain Fuller's task has apparently been a labour of love, and he has certainly expen ed great pains and ability in dragging Mr. Crowley up the steep slopes of Olympus. The CLARION says: We must confess that our intelligence is not equal to the task of wrestling with this book. The QUEEN says: We are glad that an interpreter has come forward. I . . . agree …

To this lamen the Master Therion gave life by devoting His own life thereto. We may then regard this talisman, the Law, as the most powerful that has been made in the world’s history, for previous talismans of the same type hâve been limited in their scope by conditions of race and country. Mohammed’s talisman, Allah, was good only from Persia to the Pillars of Hercules. The Bu…

… critical war broke out, and the minds of men were moved in a mysterious manner. The second blow was struck by the re-publication of the Book in September 1913, and this time the might of this Magick burst out and caused a catastrophe to civilization. At this hour, the Master Therion is concealed, collecting his forces for a final blow. When the Book of the Law and its Comment is published, with the forces of His whole Will in perfect obedience to the instructions which hâve up to now been misunderstood or neglected, the resuit will be incalcul…

…llowing assessment shows at once why Crowley chose Wilkinson as his editor, and explains the problems encountered in editing the present book: He has no “vulgar sense”; having written for so long out of the ken of the general reader, he has forgotten that the gen eral reader is not a specialist. The result is that, even in his lighter work, there are often certain references and words which the general reader would find unintelligible and there fore disconcerting; references and words that might irritate him and “put his back up” because they…

I confidently appeal to impartial observ ers to say whether the ideals of the Book are not cleaner, more wholesome, more human, and more truly moral than those of Marriage as it is. 52. If this be not aright; if ye confound the space-marks, saying: They are one; or saying, They are many; if the ritual be not ever unto me: then expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit!

There are also my own creaking and lum bering scholar-dredgers, not one of which is truly illuminat ing or even convincing. The real solutions, moreover, are almost always confirmed by other parts of the text, or by events subsequent to the Writing of the Book.
