…ivest on the molten car o' the world Over desire, and love, and hope and fear, Hath not the name of the goddess on thine ear Fallen, and art thou still abashed with shame? Apollo! Apollo! Apollo! I name the Name, And the silver of the moon grows gold and clear; The sun-dawn breaks in everlasting flame, Shaming desire, and burning up the fear Of the world! O thou! I call thee by thy name Most secret! Yea! I smite the age-long year Of man’s deliverance! And thy steeds I tame With the word of the sun-god! And the molten bar * Merci, nor.

THE EQUINOX house and in your heart to your brother Joseph, whom you sold to the Gentiles. Because he has become powerful in the land of Egypt where you sought bread in the days of famine. And he has remembered his father Jacob, and Benjamin his young brother, and he pardons you your jealousy, and embraces you with tears. Children of true believers, we will sing with you: “There is no God but God, and Mohammed is His prophet!” Say with the children of Israel: “There is no God but God, and Moses is His prophet!” Say with the Christians: ‘There i…

…the subject in The Equinox . Now far be it from me to cast any doubt on any official instruction, but I cannot help saying that in this particular instance it does not give very full details, and I think you would be well advised to investigate the whole subject afresh, basing your enquiry on the general principles of the science. All systems of divinations which have any claim to be reasonable are based upon a map of the universe, or at least the Solar system, and 16 is really a rather limited number of units to manipulate. However, if you are…

Praise then or blame aught, as seemeth good unto thee; but with this Reflection, that thy Judgment is relative ro thine own Condition, and not absolute. This also is a point of Tolerance, whereby thy shalt avoid indeed those Things that are hateful or noxious to thee, unless thou canst (in our Mode) win them by Love, by withdrawing thine Attention from…

Those eyes of wondering love, Sweet as the dawn and softer than the dove, Seek no quick vision—yet they move to me And, slowly, to the child. How still are we! Yes, and a smile betokens that they wake Or dream a waking dream for kisses’ sake; Yes, I will touch thee, O my low sweet brow! My wife, thy lips to mine—yes, kiss me now!

…ge, but only to wed woe—if thou would’ st be Tathagata, follow upon thy predecessor's steps, remain unselfish till the endless end. Thou art enlightened—choose thy way. The anti-climax is now complete. Knowledge is by no means the last step. Knowledge has been finished with even by the Master of the Temple, and all this question of wedding woe, remaining unselfish till the endless end, is but poetic bombast, based upon misconception. It is as puerile as the crude conceptions of many Christian Sects. 100. Behold, the mellow light that floods the…

XIV. ART This card is the complement and the fulfilment of Atu VI, Gemini. It pertains to Sagitta‐ rius, the opposite to Gemini in the Zodiac, and therefore, “after another manner,” one with it. Sagittarius means the Archer; and the card is (in its simplest and most primitive form) a pic‐ ture of Diana the Huntress. Diana is primarily one of the lunar goddesses, though the Romans rather degraded her from the Greek “virgin Artemis”, who is also the Great Mother of Fertility, Diana of the Ephesians, Many‐Breasted.

Sweet hours Of trivial passion deep as death, Ye are past: I'face the solemn powers Of sex and soul, of brain and breath. For you I lift the veil: discover The actual, for I was your lover. What should such word imply? I showed Late, in the earlier dithyramb. But—in yon stone there lurks a toad !— The Quarter bleats no palinode ; Goat it may be, no woolly lamb.…

… various official documents , but I will make these as short and as few as I can. First of all then , my system can be divided into two parts. Apparently diametrically opposed, but at the end converging, the one helping the other until the final method of progress partakes equally of both elements. For convenience I shall call the first method Magick, and the second method Yoga. The opposition between these is very plain for the direction of Magick is wholly outward, that of Yoga wholly inward. I will deal first then with Magick. How do I defin…

And yet the days stream by ; night shakes the day From his pale throne of purple, to allay The tremors of the earth ; day smiteth dark With the swift poignard di…
