Under its blossom we will sit in our boat and listen to the water. Go therefore and anoint thee with rose ; and besmear thy podex with jasmine mixed with ambergris in oil5 ; for not until the dawn breaks will El Qahar withdraw his member.6

…. It is much easier to attain ecstasy in this way than is generally supposed. The essence of the process consists in the struggle of the Will against giddiness; but this struggle must be prolonged and severe, and upon the degree of this the quality and intensity of ecstasy atained may dépend. With practice, giddiness is altogether conquered; exhaustion then takes its place as the enemy of Will. It is through the mutual destruction of these antagonisms in the mental and moral being of the magician that Samadhi is begotten. III Good examples of t…

For each Man in this State which I pur pose is fulfilling his own True Will by his eager Acquiescence in the Order necessary to the Welfare of all, and therefore of himself also.

…t under the empire of force whose reactions always crush everything which is unbalanced. The love of evil and the formal adhesion of the will to injustice are the last efforts of the expiring will. Man, what- ever he may do, is more than a brute, and he cannot abandon himself like a brute to fatality. He must choose. He must love. The desperate soul that thinks itself in love with death is still more alive than a soul without love. Activity for evil can and should lead back a man to good, by counter- stroke and by reaction.

Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God”.1 The dominating feature of this card is the Eye of Horus.

He will not free his lover Till Proserpine discover How near he hangs above her, And yearns towards the Fates.
