The World’s Tragedy

… started a school for the Sons of Brethren at 51, Bateman Street, Cambridge. May God bite into the bones of men the pain of that hell on earth (I have prayed often) that by them it may be sowed with salt, accursed for ever ! May the maiden that passes it be barren, and the pregnant woman that beholdeth it abort ! May the birds of

Ye shall pass in pleasure and peril Across the mystical bar That is set for wrath and weeping Against the children of earth ; But ye in singing and sleeping Shall pass in measure and mirth! I lift my wand and wave you Through hill to hill of delight; My rosy rivers lave you In innermost lustral light. I lead you, lord of the maze, In the darkness free of the sun; In spite of the spite that is day’s We are wed, we are wild, we are one!

A voice replies from Heaven : “ Hast thou forgot ? ” Or sometimes when the world has shouted : “ Yea !” Then He Himself has murmured : “ I am not ." 134

Magick Without Tears

…define all the technical terms all over again. Do I believe in it? Yes. Why? 1. Because I remember a dozen or so of my previous lives on earth . (See Magick, Chapter VI.) 2. Because no other theory satisfies my feeling for justesse, for equilibrium, for Newton's Third Law of Motion . 3. Because every religion asserts, or at least implies, it in some sense or other. Even the Judaism - Christianity - Islam line of thought contains some such element. The Jews were always expecting Elias to return; the disciples of Christ constantly asked questions…

…omh ! Manhood reluctant from religion’s womb Leaps, and sweet laughters flash for freedom’s birth That thrills the old bosom of maternal earth. The dawn has broken ; yet the impure fierce fire Kindles the grievous furnace of desire Still for the harpy brood of king and priest, Slave, harlot, coward, that make human feast Before the desecrated god, in hells Of darkness, where the mitred vampire dwells, Where still death reigns, and God and priests are fed, Man’s blood for wine, man’s flesh for meat and bread, The lands of murder, of the obscene …

The Deacon and the children follow, they in rank, be- hind him. The Priestess takes the Book of the Law, resumes her seat, and holds it open on her breast with her two hands, making a descending triangle with thumbs and forefingers. The PRIEST gives the lance to the Dracon to hold, and takes the ewer from the child, and sprinkles the PriEstEss, making five crosses, forehead, shoulders, a…

Liber Aleph

…Manifestation is the Utterance of this Word of the Æon, this Law of Thelema, that shall be for a Season the Formula of the Magick of the Earth. Who then should inquire of the further Destiny of that Star, or of another? It is the Play of the Game, and the Operation of its Function shall suffice it. Rid thyself therefore of this Thought of “I” apart from all, but, attaining to Consciousness of All by Our True Way, contemplate the Play of Illusion by thine Instrument of Mind and Sense, leaving it without Care to continue in its own Path of Change…

Jephthah and Other Mysteries

…e Fear of Madness! Consciousness knows not Its own decay. I should be happy then, Cast like a leper from the paths of men, And this dull earth’s desires should be forgot In my own mind’s dear world, where Heaven is blue, And the green bosom of the land lets through The purple of the violets, begot On tears by kisses, where the early dew Glistens in no sun’s beams but in those eyes Wherein my life-love lies. The Fear of Hell is past by virtue of The sweet shed blood that burns out sin ; the Fear Of living on beyond that silent year When I shall …

… belt, one girdle of Our Lady of infinite space. Conven‐ ience of description excuses the device. The green mound represents the fertile earth, its shape, so to speak, aspiring to the heavens. But around the top of the mound is a wall, which indicates that the aspiration of the new Aeon does not mean the absence of control. Yet outside this wall are the twin children who (in one form or another) have so frequently recurred in this whole symbolism. They rep‐ resent the male and female, eternally young, shameless and innocent. They are dancing in…
