In the truest sense of that Word, he will never step outside the Circle during his whole life. But the consécration, being the application of a positive force, can always be raised to a doser approximation to perfection. Complété success in banishing is soon attained; but there can be no completeness in the advance to holiness. I. The general conception is that the three active éléments co-operate to aff…

There are only two more idiocies to perform—one, to take a big dose of Hashish and record the ravings as if they were Samadhi; and two, to go to Church. Ι may as well give up. 85

42 This Magical Will is the wand in your hand by which the Great Work is accomplished, by which the Daughter is not merely set upon the throne of the Mother, but assumed into the Highest.^ The Magick Wand is thus the principal weapon of the Magus; and the name of that wand is the Magical Oath. The will being twofold is in Chokmah, who is the Logos, the word; hence some have said that the word is the will. Thoth the Lord of Magic is also the Lord of Speech; Hermes the messenger bears the Caduceus. Word should express will: hence the Mystic Name …

…is, and on what its theories rest. It is good, too, hearing how much you were interested in the glimpse that you have had of some of its work in the world; more, that you grasped the fact that this apparently recondite and irrelevant information has an immediate bearing on your personal life of to-day. Still, I was not surprised that you should add: "But why should I make a special study of, and devote my time and energy to acquiring proficiency in, the Science and Art of Magick?" Ah, well then, perhaps you have not understood my remarks at one…

…g. You are a bad, idle good-formothingfellow, 0. M.! Why not stick to that mantra? Have drunk two citrons presses and gone to my room to work a mighty spell of magick Art. Having got rid of Maryt (who, by the way, is Quite mad), and thereby (one might hope) of Apophis and Typhon, I perform the Great Ritual DCLXXI with good results magically; i.e., I formulated things very easily and forcibly; even at one time I got a hint of the Glory of Adonai.

It is not every magician who is well armed with theory. Perhaps one such may invoke Jupiter, with the wish to heal others of their physical ills. This sort of thing is harmless,2 or almost so. It is not evil in 1. See the Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. 2. There is nevertheless the general objection to the diversion of channels of Initiation to the …

Accordingly, the oriel is diaphanous; before the Manifestor of the Mystery is a hexagram rep‐ resenting the macrocosm. In its centre is a pentagram, representing a dancing male child. This symbolizes the law of the new Aeon of the Child Horns, which has supplanted that Aeon of the “Dying God” which governed the world for two thousand years. Before him is t…
