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…

THE EQUINOX by sending all business to the devil, the solitude difficulty by borrowing a vacant flat; but the British climate beat me. I hope one day to be rich enough to build a little house expressly for the purpose; but at present there is on the horizon no cloud even so large as the littlest finger of aman!

Moreover, I could persuade other people that mysticism was not all folly without insisting on their devoting a lifetime to studying under me; and if only I could co…

THE EQUINOX “ She looked like a penny toy,” murmured the Neptunian of the party. None of the others smiled, for the Ancient was already beginning: “Per illud nomen per quod Solomo constringebat dae- mones, et conclusit . . .” He stopped short, however, seeing that the irrelevant in- terruption had found no echo; and he went on with his narra- tive, moving his arms to the rhythm of his voice, and with his fingers kneading unseen shapes in the air.

Thou art married to Love, maybe, for Love sits weeping In my desolate heart, nor know I what can ail him, Save it be that thou art fled; immortal Love And mortal Death, and are ye separate still, Even as I and as the unknown Rose?

THE EQUINOX will absorb thy being before thou hast well realized the black foul monster’s presence. The text returns to the question of suppressing thoughts. Verse 44 has been inserted where it is in the hope of deluding the reader into the belief that it belongs to verses 43 and 45, for the Arcanum which it contains is so dangerous that it must be guarded in all possible ways. Perhaps even to call attention to it is a blind intended to prevent the reader from looking for something else. 46. Before the “mystic Power” can make of thee a God, Lan…

Its source has hnherto baffled research, but it is a language and not a jargon, for it possesses a structure of its own, and there are traces or grammar and syntax. However this may be, it works.

She has never had the slightest interest in occult matters and she has never done any work in her life, even of the needlework order. I had seen her once before since my escape from America, and she said she had something to show me, but I took no particular notice and she did not insist. My object in calling on this second occasion was multiple. I wanted to see the man …
