…a fair strong woman with worn cheeks, eaten out with hunger for kisses. She hath played the harlot in divers palaces; she hath given her body to the beasts. 41. She hath slain her kinsfolk with strong venom of toads; she hath been scourged with many rods. 42. She hath been broken in pieces upon the Wheel; the hands of the hangman have bound her unto it. 43.

The “Tree of Knowledge” is of course another euphe- mism, the “Dragon Tree” representing the uniting of the straight and the curved.

…t. The surgeon was, in fact, not understood at all, except in the one way which such people were capable of understanding ; i.e., as the body-snatcher. The rest of his proceedings were perfectly mysterious to them. You notice that even Charles Dickenswho may yet go down to history for having wished to prosecute Holman Hunt, of all people in the world, for painting indecent picturestakes very much this popular view of medicine and pharmacy in Pickwick. I think, then, it is not altogether unfair to assume that Gilles de Rais was to a large exte…

But, being fit to pass through such expériences, it is bound utterly to its words and acts. It cannot even appear to break an oath, as its fleshly fellow may do. Such, then is a general description of the Astral Plane, and of the proper conduct of the Magician in his dealings therewith. 264 —
