… The Formula of I.A.O. This formula is the principal and most characteristic formula of Osiris, of the Rédemption of Mankind. I is Isis, Nature, ruined by A, Apophis the Destroyer, and restored to life by the Redeemer Osiris.1 The sanie idea is expressed by the Rosicrucian formula of the Trinity: Ex Deo nas ci mur. In Je su morimur. Per Sfiritum Sanctum reviviscimus. This is also identical with the Word Lux L.V.X., which is formed by the arrns of a cross. It is this formula which is implied in those ancient and modem monuments in which the phal…

…the Objects of thy Waking Sense, but real also, both as it did in Fact impress thy Mind, and as it did express some Hunger of thy Secret Nature, as I have already shewed in this Letter. Consider the Play of the Chess, how its Law hath made for itself a Language and a Literature, yet it is but an arbitrary invention; without impinging (save as it oper- ateth though Pleasure and interest upon Minds) on any other Sphere soever of the Universe. Equally, Things called (vulgarly) Real and Material exist in the Universe of our Consciousness only by th…

…s not blind self-confidence ^ Some writers have actually confused the Lamen with the Pantacle, usually through a misunderstanding of the nature of the latter. Dr. Dee's " Sigillum Dei Amath " makes a fine pantacle, but it would be useless as a lamen. Eliphas Levi made several attempts to draw one or the other, he never seemed sure which. Fortunately he knows better now. The lamens given in the Lesser and Greater Keys of " Solomon " are rather better, but we know of no perfect example. The design on the cover of " The Star in the West " represen…

…be slain, whether it be his Eloquence that moveth a Mob or his Vanity that destroyeth a People. Only in all such Cases we understand how Nature worketh, through known Laws physical or psychical. That is, there is a State of unstable Equilibrium, so that one Machine setteth another in Motion as soon as the first Disturbance ariseth. Therefore, it is not proper to regard all Consequence of a Will as its Effect. Without the Revolution there could have been no great Effect of the Will of Napoleon; and moreover his Will was broken in the End, to the…

The history of any man who seriously and desperately dares to force a passage into the penetralia of nature ; not with the calm philosophy of the scientist, but with the burn- ing conviction that his immortal destiny is at stake ; must be a strange one : to me at least strangely attractive. The con- stant illusions ; the many disappointments ; the bitter earnest- ness of the man amid the grim humour, or more often sheer cacchination of his surroundings ; all the bestial mockery of the baffling fiends ; the st…

…finite intelligence must have been at work on this cosmos. I reply No! ‘There is no intelligence at work worthy of the name. The Laws of Nature may be generalized in one—the Law of Inertia. Everything moves in the direction determined by the path of least resistance; species arise, develop, and die as their collective inertia determines; to this Law there is no exception but the doubtful one of Freewill; the Law of Destiny itself is formally and really identical with it. ‘As to an infinite intelligence, any standing are agreed that all-love an …
