…trousers of thee, O St. Pancras Pulchinello—this little red-coated person that doth mouth and dance upon the kakophonous barrel-organ of New Thought fakirs and Modernity mountebanks. Speak to this parasite—itself unspeakably verminous— of the long-haired brigade, who has “got on” for that it had neither sufficient talent to excite envy, nor manhood enough to excite apprehension, but wit well to comprehend the sycophancy of the self-styled court and the tittle-tattle of the servants’ hall. It is an Editor—dear Lord my God! it is an Editor; but h…

He turned on his heel and went softly into the laboratory. Meanwhile Muriel Madox tripped along from the Escoffier in the bright February air. Her heart was very light and very anxious. The incident of the afternoon— should she tell the Professor? Concealment was foreign to her nature ; for the first time in her life she hesitated, How would it affect their relations ? It would be better to think it ove…

…ystem? That is fine; but remember, my friends, that our own system comes first! Charity begins at home and ends in the workhouse: so the new method must absorb our space—ay! and infinite space!—to the exclusion of our unworthy imitators, Doctor Goudron and Professor Plume. To Montmartre then, reader! to the Grand Guignol! To the Madhouse, 1 We have discovered too late that this is a despicable effort of our cor- respondent’s jejune graphomania. Had we suspected that he was a poetaster as well as a degenerate and imbecile, we should not have pri…

THE NEW WINE 195 hoc signo vinces Non timendum est Veritate duce . " In order to cut a long story short , it may be as sumed that so-called modern philosophy finds its founder in the French philosopher Descartes ; for it was he who started to unravel the Penelope web of tangled philosophic thought , which had lain sleeping for a thousand years or more upon the sterile shelf of Christian impotence . His theories of “ Innate ideas ” raised the anger of Locke , the disciple of Aristotle and Bacon . Revolting from the cogito ergo sum of Descartes ,…

…unwearied, you pass on from zon to zon, from star to star, the Universe your playground, its infinite variety of sport ever old and ever new. All those ideas which bred sorrow and fear are known in their truth, and thus become the seed of joy: for you are certain beyond all proof that you can never die; that, though you change, change is part of your own nature: the Great Enemy is become the Great Ally. And now, rooted in this perfection, your Self become the very Tree of Life, you have a fulcrum for your lever: you are ready to understand that…

And in the fifth, O slayer of thy thoughts, all these have to be killed beyond re-animation. It is not sufficient to get rid temporarily of one’s obstacles. One must seek out their roots and destroy them, so that they can never rise again. This involves a very deep psychologi- cal investigation, as a preliminary. But the whole matter is one between the Self and its modifications, not at all betw…

If, however, something similar came off at the New Moon, there would be a new superstition; and presently there would be a complete nexus of Tabu about the Moon. A recent case. The late Mr. S. L. Mathers published, in 1898‐9, the translation of a manuscript called The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage in a small private edition. Some hundreds of people bought it.

…et nature: perhaps I am revealing too much when I say that members are permitted to inscribe after their names the letters L.A.L. By the New Method, therefore, let us continue our interesting studies of the system of Doctor Goudron and Professor Plume. Laure, the first of three curtain (and hair) raisers, is a charming little drama. An ingénue comes by accident into possession of a letter compromis- ing her mother. Discovered by her father, she saves her mother by accusing herself. The mother, secure once more, bullies and ill-treats the heroic…

The principal poem in his new volume is a powerful dramatic sketch. passages in this drama are really very fine; and ‘The Fatal Force’ is also a dramatic poem of singular power. Mr. Crowley has a claim to recognition as a true poet. Most men who have thought deeply on life’s problems recognize that the current religion of nearly all their fellow men is an idle mockery.. We cannot shrink from looking behind the veil, and asking ourselve…

…it is important to prove that the religious reform brought about by Moses was altogether qabalistic, that Christianity, in instituting a new dogma, has simply come nearer to the primitive sources of the teach- ings of Moses, and that the Gospel is no more than a transparent veil thrown upon the universal and natural mysteries of oriental initiation. A distinguished but little known man of learning, Mr. P. Lacour, in his book on the Elohim or Mosaic God, has thrown a great light on that question, and has rediscovered in the symbols of Egypt all …

This sea, though infinitely cold, was boiling like tu- bercles.
