…error, if some inferior person were to generalize from too few facts. Imagine an inhabitant of Mars who wished to philosophise about the earth, and had nothing to go by but the diary of some man at the North Pôle! But the work of every explorer, on whatever branch of the Tree of Life the Caterpillar he is after may happen to be crawling, is immensely helped by a grasp of general principles. Every magician, therefore, should study the Holy Qabalah. Once he has mastered the main principles, he will find his work grow easy. Solvitur ambulando: whi…

…human feast Revels at height; the sacrament is come; God wakes no lightning in the broken East ; His awful thunders listen and are dumb; Earth gapes not for that sin; the skies renew At break of day their vestiture of blue. ASTROLOGY. A LONELY spirit seeks the midnight hour, When souls have power To cast away one moment bonds of clay, And touch the day With pallid wistful lips beyond the earth, And bring to birth New thoughts with which life long has travailed ; As if one dead

…en by Fear, who see our strength increase By comradeship that quickens to abide, A bond of justice, light, and liberty, To make the wide earth free As the wild waves that slake the passion of the sea. Let all the world keep silence and behold The wrath of two great nations that are friends Against who bartered Poland, and who sold Italy, weighed out Hungary for gold, And shattered Greece to serve no noble ends. The traitors and the peoples and the kings That love not righteous things, They shall behold our wrath, and find our anger stings. Whit…

…no other suit. It represents a general shak‐ ing‐up, resulting from the conflict of Fire and Water in their marriage; and proceeds, when Earth appears, to crystallization. But the purity and exaltation of Chokmah are such that this card manifests the very best idea possible to the suit. The energy abides above the onslaught of disruption. This comparative calm is emphasized by the celestial attribution: the Moon in Libra. The Moon is change, but Nature is peaceful; moreover, Libra represents balance; be‐ tween them, they regulate the energy of …

THE LOST SHEPHERD XII Then did I learn the lore of Earth, For mine was the light of Pan ; The barren riddle unsolved by birth Was solved as the hot fire ran. The god’s tongue flashed, and he roared with glee At each spasm he drew from the breast of me, And the mystery of Panic mirth Lay bare in the sight of a man. XIII And many a love long since I’ve known, And many a city rare ; I have sung and harped, I have fought and flown, I have wandered everywhere. But the thought of that day by the water-side, The god’s hot breath and the hidden bride, …

The dripping rain Soddens the earth, and the stones lie thick and wet Among the leaves ; and the trees wave naked arms In despair to the sky. The light is quickly dying, And there is no more day; the dull red sun— A sore and aching eye in a face of gray—— Droops down to slumber. All the world is dead. Rose! Rose! Where art thou?

Now that the word is come to pass That bone is dust and flesh is grass, Let us mix our acclamations Ofjubilance and lamentations! Are not good and evil one Before the challenge of the sun? Shall necessity relax The brazen fury of her features, And her steel scimitar turn to wax For the complaining of her creatures? The Lord is slain; let us lament The Word made void, the Work in vain.

But in the holy hour and happy birth That swam through stars propitious, meadows white, And fresh with newer flowers of the night In the pale fields supernal, when his sire Took from the nurse the child of his desire, A man, the prayers of many maidens sent So sweet a savour through the firmament That no false spirit might draw nigh. And still His angel ministers defend from ill The head they nurtured. …
