…soundest sleepers imaginable. Nine solid hours without turning once is my irreducible minimum. Having done an hour’s illumination of the New Ritual, will go and break my fast with coffee and a brioche, and thence proceed to Michael Brenner’s studio.

…ple commonly call poison or no. In short, I act like a sensible man; and I think I deserve every credit for introducingthis com- pletely new idea into religion. That function of my brain which says “You ought to be willing Adonai ” sometimes acts. But I am willing Him! It is so active because all this week it has been working hard, and doesn’t realise that its work is done. Just as a retired grocer wakes up and thinks “ I must go and open the shop.” In Hindu phrase, the thought-stuff, painfully forced all these days into one channel, has acquir…

…d whorls. The general colour of the traditional card is subfusc; it represents the confusion and darkness of the material world. But the New Aeon has brought fullness of Light; in the Minu‐ tum Mundum, Earth is no longer black, or of mixed colours, but is pure bright green. Similarly, the indigo of Saturn is derived from the blue velvet of the midnight sky, and the maiden of the dance represents the issue from this, yet through this, to the Eternal. This card is to‐day as bright and glowing as any in the Pack.

But my foolish omission to knife them brings it about that I have thirty—nine secret chambers, and only one open one in each case. Oh, yards of it! And all sorts of people come in to supper—which there isn’t any, and we have to do all sorts of shifts—and all the wives think themselves neglected-as they are bound to do, if one is insane enough to have…

…all things. 46. Subdue thy fear and thy disgust. Then—yield! 47. There was a maiden that strayed among the corn, and sighed; then grew a new birth, a narcissus, and therein she forgot her sighing and her loneliness. 48. Even instantly rode Hades heavily upon her, and ravished her away. 49. (Then the scribe knew the narcissus in his heart; but because it came not to his lips, therefore was he shamed and spake no more.) 50. Adonai spake yet again with V.V.V.V.V. and said: The earth is ripe for vintage; let us eat of her grapes, and be drunken the…

To the advanced Student a simple ordinary thought, which seems little or nothing to the beginner, becomes a great and terrible fountain of iniquity, and the higher he goes, up toa certain point, the point of definitive victory, the more that is the case. The beginner can think, ‘it is ten o’clock,’ and dismiss the thought. To the mind of the adept this sentence will awaken all its possible correspondences, all the refl…

…ror had been established by the megalomaniac in the White House and his brutal and thick- headed bravo, Burleson. On October 6th, I left New York for a trip round the coast. I wanted to see the San Francisco exhibition, and I wanted to get first-hand facts about the attitude of the people, outside the Wall Street machine, to the war. With this I combined a honeymoon with Hilarion; though the sky was cloudy and windy, she popped in and out all the time, having decided to spice the romance and adventure by taking her husband in tow. My first stop…

Again let it be said that Liber III is a most admirable method for the beginner,' and it will be best, even if he is very confident in his strength, to take the vow for very short periods, beginning with an hour and increasing daily by half-hours until the day is filled. Then let him rest awhile, and attempt a two-day prac…
