… : that he might ever have at least one poor victim to sate his vile carnalities on . Lust and Indolence are the parents of Marriage and Law , but not even the menials of Freedom and Free Love . We clung still closer , till the soul ran through Body to body , twined like sunny snakes , Sinlessly knowing we were man and wife.2 Alice , still fearful , foresees the end ; such love as theirs is too supernal to be platonic ; she flies in vain ; for she has to console her sad lover with the truth .

…e were too childlike, too innocent, too hopeful of mankind, that ye did proclaim your pearly gos- pel to the swinish multitude ! The old law, silence, is the master : therefore whoso looketh for my name, let him find it darkling in these lines of power !

…love. They always wish, and never will; they are always under- taking and never completing. For such people, only the repressive side of law applies. Such beings may have a litter, but they never have a family: marriage and family are the rights of the perfect man, the emancipated man, the man who is intelligent and free.

65 Man Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. In previous letters I hope I have been able to give you some idea of the initiated conception of the Macrocosm, and also to have made it clear to you why we must all use a symbolic language, and the necessity of constructing a special alphabet as the basis of our conversations about Magick. I have also furnished you with charts of this alphabet. It would of course have been too clumsy and cumbersome to put all the different systems of symbol on to the Tree of Life. That Tree is…

THE EQUINOX Every action produces a reaction. This is the universal law of the world. Christianity must needs produce anti-Christianity. Antichrist is the shadow, the foil, the proof of Christ. Antichrist already produced itself in the Church in the time of the Apostles: St. Paul said :—‘ For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked One be revealed. . . .”? The Protestants said: “Antichrist is the Pope.” The Pope replied : “‘ Every heretic is an Ant…

… he is a practical person. But perhaps the unusual word huqqa is a pun on hukm (command) and the phrase means, “ As long as I obey God’s law, I care nothing for phi- losophy ! ” A. L. I cannot admit that huqqa is an altogether un- usual word ; I think hukm rather merits the title. Besides, the pun is not obvious and less to a Persian than an Indian at that. Ed.

I then said: O most excellent expounder of the good Law, prithee explain to me the exact difference between this Doc- trine and that which we heard from Shri Parananda that the attainment of Samadhi, though it depended to some extent upon the attainment of the Yogi, depended also upon the grace of the Lord Shiva, and that Yoga did us all no good unless the Lord Shiva happened to be in a good temper.

And men of "inferior" races, like the Veddah, Hottentot and the Australian Blackfellow? There must be a line somewhere, and will 1 please draw it? You make me feel like Giotto! There is one remark which 1 must make at the beginning. It's some poet or other, Tennyson or Kipling, 1 think (I forget wh…
