THE EQUINOX the Holy Qabalah, concerning the Whirlpool and Leviathan, and the Great Stone. Thus long have I talked with thee in bidding thee depart, that the memory of the Aethyr might be dulled; for hadst thou come back suddenly into thy mortal frame, thou hadst fallen into madness or death. For the vision is not such that any may endure it. But now thy sense is dull, and the shew-stone but a stone. Therefore awake, and give secretly and apart the sign of the Mother, and call four times upon the name of CHAOS, that is the four-fold word that i…

THE EQUINOX All I get is that the Apocalypse was a recension of a dozen or so totally disconnected allegories, that were pieced together, and ruthlessly planed down to make them into a connected account; and that recension was re-written and edited in the interests of Christianity, because people were complaining that Christianity could show no true spiritual knowledge, or any food for the best minds: nothing but miracles, which only deceived the most ignorant, and Theology, which only suited pedants. Soa man got hold of this recension, and tur…

THE EQUINOX THE Simple LETTERS The simple letters are divided into four triplicities, having for titles the four letters of the divine tetragam my. In the divine tetragram, the 1op, as we have just said, symbolizes the productive and active principle—The HE 7 represents the passive productive principle, the crers.—The vau symbolizes the union of the two, or the lingam, and the final HE is the image of the second reproductive principle; that is to say, of the passive reproduction in the world of effects and forms. The twelve simple letters, psyo…

THE EQUINOX Then, it may be, the Eye will open upon him, and the tomb of his Pyramid be unsealed. It is impossible in a few words to explain thoroughly this eclectic system; for each act and thought of the ritual demands an expert teacher, and even a good pupil might study for years before mastering the method. By which time he might not impossibly have discovered one of his own. Howbeit, I must do my best; and if by that best I can help “‘ the least of these little ones,” so much the better.

THE EQUINOX And what an object for servility! The fashionable dilet- tante doubt, the fashionable dilettante faith, are neatly balanced in the scales of mid-Victorian pragmatism, whose coarse-fibred affettuosé bargain with God as with a huckster. The British conception of the Noblest Man being that of a cheating tradesman, their God is fashioned in that image, and the ambition of them all is to cheat Him. So they avoid the sceptic’s sneers by an affectation of doubt, the fanatic’s thunders by an affectation of faith: between which two stools th…

THE EQUINOX One knows what desperate resistance he made to his executioners. “It is treason,” said he; “I cannot die so! Only one hour, an hour to write to the Emperor! The Emperor is bound to save me.” Who, then, was betraying him? Who, then, had promised him life? Who, then, had assured him beforehand of a clemency which was impossible, because it would revolt the conscience of the public? Ask all that of the grimotve of Honorius! Two incidents in this tragic story bear upon the phe- nomena produced by Mr. Home: the noise of the storm heard b…

The Light beginneth to dawn upon the Path, so that I see a little better where I stand.

THE EQUINOX father, her lying, under-handed ways, especially her brutality. His was a noble hatred, utter, blood-thirsty, virulent, eternal. After years of melancholy and the physical consequences thereof, Lionel Tabard found himself free from his tyrannical parent. He soon forgot her, and, as the Divine Blinkings passed by, his recollection became less and less distinct. He only remembered two facts. She had once, during his sleep, broken a bone of his nose with a poker, because he snored; and, at another time, she had broken in two a valuable…
