…trid mass of green slime, her dugs dropping and cancerous, clings to him, kisses him. (Kill me! kill me!) There is a mocking voice: Thou art become immortal. Thou wouldst look upon the face of the Magician and thou hast not beheld him because of his Magick veils. (Don’t torture me!) Thus are all they fallen into the power of Lilith, who have dared to look upon his face. The shew-stone is all black and corrupt. O filth! filth! filth! And this is her great blasphemy: that she hath taken the name of the First Aethyr, and bound it on her brow, and …

Thou art both these; and thy vow is but the rustling of the wind on Mount Meru. 17. Now shalt thou adore me who am the Eye and the Tooth, the Coat of the Spirit, the Lord of Creation. I am the Eye in the Triangle, the Silver Star that ye adore. 18. I am Baphomet, that is the Eightfold Word that shall be equilibrated with the Three. 36

THE EQUINOX thee; but only one initiate, only one sage has revealed thee to the children of earth, one alone could say of thee: “I and my Father are one.” Glory then be his, since all his glory is thine! Thou knowest, O my Father, that he who writes these lines has struggled much and suffered much; he has endured poverty, calumny, proscription, prison, the forsaking of those whom he loved:—and yet never did he find himself un- happy, since truth and justice remained to him for consolation | Thou alone art holy, O God of true hearts and upright …

When shall there be an end, O my darling, O when shall the Universe and the Lord thereof be utterly swal- lowed up? 56. Nay! who shall devour the Infinite? who shall undo the Wrong of the Beginning? 57. Thou criest like a white cat upon the roof of the Uni- verse; there is none to answer Thee. . 58.

…RED IN THEIR WORK OF NECROMANCY; AND OF A COUNCIL OF WAR OF CYRIL GREY AND BROTHER ONOFRIO; WITH CERTAIN OPINIONS OF THE FORMER UPON THE ART OF MAGICK. THE Neapolitan winter had overpassed its common clemency; save for a touch of frost, kindly and wholesome, on a few nights, it had no frown or rigour. Day after day the sun had enkindled the still air, and life had danced with love upon the hills. But on the night of her fullness, the moon was tawny and obscure, with a reddish vapour about her, as if she had wrapped herself in a mantle of anger;…

…patra. She was right. Read the Taoist instructions to this effect. 52. If Sun thou canst not be, then be the humble planet. Aye, if thou art debarred from flaming like the noonday Sun upon the snow-capped mount of purity eternal, then choose, O Neophyte, a humbler course. There are a great many people who not only are without marked capacity, but are obviously without any capacity at all, for attainment even on a very modest scale. The ques- tion then arises as to whether they can ‘be any good.’ Unless they are made to do something, they are li…

He seized my arm and hurried me towards the lamp-post. Then he stared at me for a long time, and, speaking slowly, hammering every syllable in my ear, while the rain continued its monotonous lamentation, he began: “T should be very much surprised if this were not the cover I am waiting for. No fallacies will induce me to free you now that at last I have found you. I was dead; my life was nothing mo…

… feasted on rifled graves. Southey was an ambitious man. He was not content with the brilliant success of this masterpeice of the poetic art. He immediately sat down and wrote another alleged poem all about infants fat and rifled graves and the Devil coming for the villain at the proper moment. This poem has nothing to do with witchcraft. It is called The Surgeons Warning. I think this is the best evidence in support of my thesiswhatever that is, I am not quite sure that it is possible to adduce. In the minds of the kind of people who be…

…There is an angel with rainbow wings, and his dress is green with silver, a green veil over silver armour. Flames of many-coloured fire dart from him in all directions. It is a woman of some thirty years old, and she has the moon for a crest, and the moon is blazoned on her heart, and her sandals are curved silver, like the moon. And she cries: Lonely am I and cold in the wilderness of the stars. For I am the queen of all them that dwell in Heaven, and the queen of all them that are pure upon earth, and the queen of all the sorcerers of hell. I…

THE EQUINOX these the only good? No; for these benefits absorb only part of the time and energy of man. Is it good to chop wood? Yes, undoubtedly; but it is also good to render woodcutting in art. Then why should not the woodcutter be an artist? Why should he not chop miracles of carving? The Michael Angelo of Fontainebleau? Why not? What does Browning say? “I want to know the butcher paints, the baker rhymes for his pursuit," and so on. Very well ; then what do you do that is truly good? That is, unnecessarily, supererogatively, and therefore s…

This was a summer’s afternoon; and the strange pair, encountering Placide Gervez as he chopped, accosted him. The philosopher, whose irrelevant name was Theophraste Goulet, drew out a cigarette and offered it to his intended victim.

The end of things is come upon us; the day of Be‐with‐us is at hand! For he hath created the Universe, and overthrown it, that he might take his pleasure thereupon. And now, in the midst of the Aethyr, I behold that god. He hath a thousand arms, and in each hand is a weapon of terrible strength. His face is more terrible than the storm, and…

Thus art thou lured along that Path, whose fascination else had driven thee far away. o thou that drawest toward the End of The Path, effort is no more. Faster and faster dost thou fall; thy weariness is changed into Ineffable Rest . For there is no Thou upon that Path: thou hast become The Way.
