The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

… Aleph; but for that very reason, more useful, perhaps, to the average seeker. 58. And she will open wide before thee the portals of her secret chambers, lay bare before thy gaze the treasures hid- den in the depths of her pure virgin bosom. Unsullied by the hand of matter, she shows her treasures only to the eye of spirit—the eye which never closes, the eye for which there is no veil in all her kingdoms. This verse reminds one of the writings of Alchemists; and it should be interpreted as the best of them would have inter- preted it. 59. Then …

Magick in Theory and Practice (Section 4)

…s understanding and ingenium devise a Magick Lamp that shall burn without wick or oil, being fed by the Aethyr. This shall he accomplish secretly and apart, without asking the advice or approval of his Adeptus Minor. Let the Dominus Liminis keep it when consecrated in the secret chamber of Art. This then is that which is written: “Being furnished with complete armour and armed, he is similar to the goddess.” And again, “I am armed, I am armed.”

…the doctrine of the Night of Pan, familiar to Masters of the Temple. “The Poppy that flowers in the dusk” is another name for it. A most secret Formula of Magick is connected with this “Heart of the Circle.” 54. Kill out desire; but if thou killest it, take heed lest from the dead it should again rise. By “desire” in all mystic treatises of any merit is meant tendency. Desire is manifested universally in the law of gravitation, in that of chemical attraction, and so on; in fact, everything that is done is caused by the desire to do it, in this …

…e shrine. This familiar phrase is usually interpreted to mean the mere keeping of the mind free from invading thoughts. It has also that secret significance at which we have several times already hinted. These unfortunate poetic images again bewilder us. Blavatsky’s constant use of the word “Soul” without defini- tion is very annoying. These verses 63 and 64 must be taken as dealing with a state preliminary to the attainment of this Fifth Gate. If the lance shakes in the hand of the warrior, whatever the cause, the result is fumbling and failur…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…ces of which I had no control, and which bore no relation to any past purpose of my life. But I believe they were arranged for me by the Secret Chiefs. My wife was due to arrive with the baby on the twenty-ninth and the natural thing would have been to see a little of Calcutta society, especially as I was naturally a bit of a lion, and then stroll across Asia somewhere, at our leisure. The Secret Chiefs arranged for me to be in a situation where I was at their mercy. They meant to initiate me whether I liked it or not. And this is how they went…

He constantly studied this and the accompanying explanatory manuscripts. He checked up on all these attributes of the numbers to the forms of nature, and found nothing incongruous. But when (8th April, 1904 e.v.) he was writing down the Book of the Law from the dictation of the messenger of the Se‐ cret Chiefs, he seems to have put a mental question, suggested by the words in Chapter I, ver…

Yea! the night shall cover all, the night shall cover all. 25. Thou wast long seeking Me; thou didst run forward so fast that I was unable to come up with thee.

THE CUP 181 XXIV . An ecstasy to which no life responds , Is the enormous secret I have learned : When self-denial's furnace - flame has burned Through love , and all the agonizing bonds That hold the soul within its shell are turned To water weak ; Then may desires obtain the cypress crown they seek . It is only when we lose the cherished present , that it looms up through the mist of time as a glorious past ; and it is only when we have lost the body of corruption , that its soul rises sublime purifying all ; our personality purified by death…

THE EQUINOX should now be able to understand the thought of the Jew Abraham. The secret fire of the masters of alchemy was, then, electricity ; and there is the better half of their grand arcanum ; but they knew how to equilibrate its force by a magnetic influence which they concentrated in their athanor. This is what results from the obscure dogmas of Basil Valentine, of Bernard Trevisan, and of Henry Khunrath, who, all of them, pretend to have worked the transmutation, like Raymond Lully, like Arnaud de Villeneuve, and like Nicholas Flamel.
