THE EQUINOX —any question is the great question—does indeed treat us thus cavalierly, the disenchanted Sceptic is too prone to think! Well, shall we define Him as a loving Father, as a jealous priest, as a gleam of light upon the holy Ark? What does it matter? All these images are of wood and stone, the wood and stone of our own stupid brains! The Fatherhood of God is but a human type; the idea of a human father con- joined with the idea of immensity. Two for One again! No combination of thoughts can be greater than the think- ing brain itself;…

So I obeyed him, else I had drawn after me the raft that had brought me thither. Then he questioned me, saying: What lieth above the ark?

THE EQUINOX bone. I took also the magical knife, and the holy Anointing Oil of Abramelin the Mage. I began then quite casually by performing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, finding to my great joy and some surprise that the Pentagrams instantly formulated themselves, visible to the material eye as it were bars of shining blackness deeper than the night. I then consecrated myself to the Operation; cutting the Tonsure upon my head, a circle, as it were to admit the light of infinity: and cutting the cross of blood upon my breast, thus…

THE EQUINOX so vast that I could only see to their knees. “Would not knowledge of the gods suffice?" " No! " said I. It was then pointed out to me that I was being critical, even rationalistic, and made to see that A was not necessarily fashioned in my image. I asked pardon for my blindness, and knelt at the altar, placing my hands upon it, right over left. Then one, human, white, self-shining (my idea after all I), came forth and put his hands over mine, saying: “I receive thee into the Order of the ——." I sank back to earth in a cradle of flame…

THE EQUINOX tionally dangerous, but this is a mystical truth concerning the inner life. The Adept is anything but a “creeping Jesus.” 15. Self-gratulation, O Disciple, is like unto a lofty tower, up which a haughty fool has climbed. Thereon he sits in prideful solitude and unperceived by any but himself. Develops this: but, this treatise being for beginners as well as for the more advariced, a sensible commonplace rea- son is given for avoiding pride, in that it defeats its own object. 16. False learning is rejected by the Wise, and scattered t…

I had better take a solid hour willing the Tryst with Adonai. Have done all this, and a Work of Kindness. I will again revise the new ritual, dine, return and copy it fair for use.

THE EQUINOX Of this sweet spring, I hear the call again: I bear the chalice of lilies under the moon, I bear the red-tipped lilies under the moon. And the blue light is merged into the flame Unquenchable of matter. We are sunk to sleep In the clods of earth, . . . and now we have forgotten, And the moods break upon us as they list From all the quarters of the lower worlds, Calling us hither and thither; where, we know not, We know not, O my silent one, but still The sorrowfulness of Eld, the romance of sorrow, Are ours; we are parted, but the s…

THE EQUINOX We have translated, and not destroyed, the worship of Moses and of the prophets. In adoring God in creation, we do not adore the creation itself. In adoring God in Jesus Christ, it is God alone whom we adore, but God united to humanity. In making humanity divine, Christianity has revealed the human divinity. The God of the Jews was inhuman, because they did not understand Him in His works. We are, then, more Israelite than the Israelites them- selves. What they believe, we believe with them, and better than they do. They accuse us o…

THE EQUINOX for he told me he had seen you, and it is I who sent him to you.” No more doubt, then; the unhappy priest had found the fatal grimoive, he had done the evocation, and prepared himself for the murder by a series of sacrileges. For this is in what the infernal evocations consist, according to the grimotre of Honorius: “Choose a black cock, and give him the name of the spirit of darkness which one wishes to evoke. “ Kill the cock, and keep its heart, its tongue, and the first feather of its left wing. “Dry the tongue and the heart, and…
