THE EQUINOX mouth until, choking with their very volume, her voice broke to a strangled yell, and the agony of the acid bit into her soul. She fell on the floor fainting “Vile thing!” screamed Zircon, spurning her with his foot He choked: his brain fell suddenly clear with the lucidity of intellect. He walked into the dining—room, and whistled as he walked. There he sat down.

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX stupid as the lamb, sceptical and rebellious as the angel of light. He himself cut the umbilical cord of his simplicity, and, falling free upon the earth, dragged God with him in his fall. And therefore, from this sublime fall, he rises again glorious, with the great convict of Calvary, and enters with Him into the kingdom of heaven. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to intelligence and love, both children of liberty. God has shown liberty to man in the image of a lovely woman, and in order to test his courage, He made the phantom o…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX The claim of the Order that the true adepts were in charge of it was definitely disproved. 15. In the Order, with two certain exceptions and two doubtful ones, he found no persons prepared for initiation of any sort. 16. He thereupon by his subtle wisdom destroyed both the Order and its chief. 17. Being himself no perfect adept, he was driven of the Spirit into the Wilderness, where he abode for six years, studying by the light of reason the sacred books and secret systems of initiation of all countries and ages. 18. Finally, there …

THE EQUINOX 10.42. The fact of the matter is, I am quite unconcentrated. 48 Evidently the Osiris Risen stage is over; and I think it is a case for violent measures. If one were to slack off now and hope for the morning, like a shipwrecked Paul, one would probably wake up a mere man of the world. The Question then arises: What shall I do to be saved ? The only answer-and one which is quite unconnected with the question—is that a Ritual of Adeptus Major should display the Birth of Horus and Slaying of Typhon. Here again Horus and Harpocrates—the …

Will do an Aspiration in the Hanged Man position, hoping to feel rested and fit by midnight. The Incense has arrived from London; and I feel its magical effects most favourable. Ο creature of Incense! I conjure thee by Him that sitteth upon the Holy Throne and liveth and reigneth for ever as the Balance of Righteousness and Truth, that thou comfort and exalt my soul with Thy sweet perfume, that I…

י6.15 6.20. 6.45. 82 THE EQUINOX hath inflexible intellectual rulers! I eat it in a semi- Yogin manner. I am wondering whether I have not made a mistake in allowing myself to sleep. It would be just like me, if there were only one possible mistake to make, to make it! I was perfect, had I only watched. ButI let my faith run away with me. . . . I wonder. Dinner over, I go on as I am in calm faith and love. Why should I expect a catastrophic effect? Why should not the circumstances of Union with God be compatible with the normal consciousness ? In…

I am so absolutely become as a pantomorphous Iynx that all things look alike to me; there are just as many pros and cons to Pranayama as to Ceremonial, etc. etc., —and the pros and cons are so numerous and far- reaching that I simply dare not start discussing even one. I can see an endless avenue in every case. In short, like the hashish-drunkard in full blast, I am overwhelmed …

12.25. THE EQUINOX 3‘ If others are to read this, I should like them to see that elaborate codes of morality have nothing to do with my system. No question of sin and grace ever enters it. If a chemist wants to prepare copper sulphate from its oxide, he does not hesitateon the ground that sulphuric acid, thrown in the eyes, hurts people. So I use the moral drug which will produce the desired result, whether that drug be what people commonly call poison or no. In short, I act like a sensible man; and I think I deserve every credit for introducin…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE EQUINOX Twenty-one minutes past one o’clock—the day was marching towards its first duality. The door opened behind him, and the creaking wood caused him to jump up. The daughter of his host stood in her night-garments, a poem in pale green and white. She said nothing; and he imitated the wisdom of her silence. His heart began a wild, unhealthy fandango; his temples ached; his legs shook under him. He felt himself paling; strange impulses prompted him to a return to ances- tral savagery. Alas, he sadly lacked experience. However, the woman h…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE EQUINOX On the second day after his arrival in the village where Ljubov lived, he noticed the child and her marvellous beauty. For hours, having retired to the house belonging to a rich lady whose guest he was, he drivelled, with before him the enrapturing vision of Ljubov’s priceless jewels. He proceeded carefully; made friends with all the children; and, the seventh day having come, he met her outside the village, by chance— so she thought—and made her a present of a few trifling ornaments. Then he placed over his own eyes two empty shell…
