… me as a vine. So clinging fibres of desire control My perfect body, and my perfect soul Shot flakes of light toward him. So my eyes, Seeking his face, were made divinely wise. So, solemn, silent, ’mid a merry folk I bound him by my forehead’s silver yoke, And grew immense about him and within, And so possessed him wholly, without sin. For I had crossed the barrier and knew There was no sin. His lips reluctant grew Ardent at last as recognising me, and love’s wild tempest sweeps upon his sea. And I? I knew not anything, but know We are still si…

…of the word of the Aeon, ABRAHADABRA, the cypher of the Great Work. (See The Equinox of The Gods, p. 138. Also The Temple of Solomon the King.) On this word alone a complete volume could, and should, be written. Cancer is the cardinal sign of the element of Water,2 and represents the first keen on‐ rush of that element. Cancer also represents the path which leads from the great Mother Bi‐ nah to Geburah, and is thus the influence of the Supernals descending through the Veil of Wa‐ ter (which is blood) upon the energy of man, and so inspires it.…

In the Yî King the earthy part of Earth is represented by the 52nd hexagram, Kan. The meaning is “a mountain”; of how sublime a significance is this Chinese doctrine of Balance, and how closely congruous with that of the Holy Qabalah!

…noted! Like all insects, the spider represents a demon. But why a spider? Who is this spider " who taketh hold with her hands, and is in King's Palaces "? The name of this spider is Death. It is the fear of death which first makes the soul aware of its forlorn condition. It would be interesting if tradition had preserved for us Miss Muffett's subsequent adventures. But we must proceed to consider the interpretation of the following rime : Little Jack Horner Sat in a corner, Eating a Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, A…
