…h a decoction, even when a year old, exhibits live and active spermatozoa when warmed by an experienced mi- croscopist on the stage of a good instrument. In- jected under the skin, it produces magnificent re- sults, both as a general tonic and a cure for impo- tence. Thus the goat, deposed from his Satanic glory, and proved (like a young virgin) useless in gonorrhoea, has at last found his causa finalis in

…in the prime of early manhood, free from all the fetters of the body and the mind, do I curse the memory thereof unto the ages. It was a good enough school from the point of exami- ners, I dare say. Morally and physically it was an engine of destruction and corruption. I am just going to put down a few facts haphazard as they come to my memory ; you may form your own judgment. I.

… Lunch, 3 Garibaldis and 3 Gaufrettes. Wrote two letters. Going out walk with mantra. This walk was in a way rather a success. I got the good mantra effects, e.g., the brain taking it up of its own accord ; also the distaste for everythingbut Adonai became stronger and stronger. But when I returned from a visit to B e on an errand of comradeship—b; hours’ talk to cut out of this mantra-yoga—I found all sorts of people at the Dome, where I drank a Citron presse: they detained me in talk, and at 6.30 Maryt turned up and I had to chew a sandwich a…

…and so the angles puzzle one. The power, too, suits ill with civilised life; it fades as I live in towns, revives as I get back to God’s good earth. A seven-foot tent and the starlight—who wants more ? Well, I’ve woke myself writing this.

It is with pleasure indeed that we record that Waite’s lapses have been comparatively few. Waite was no Crippen, be it under- stood. If Crowley teasingly called him “old lag” in friendly converse round the office fire, too strict a significance, too vital an importance, may easily be attached to the phrase.

The Mantra goes just 30 times a minute, 1800 times an hour, 43,200 times a day. To say it a million times would take longer than Mrs. Glyn’s heroine did to conceive.

… if he be finite, there is an end of the usual Christian reasons for worship, though I dare- say I could myself discover some reasonably good ones. I hardly expect to be asked, somehow. The resulting equilibrium of God and man, des- tructive of worship, is of course absurd. We must reject it, unless we want to fall into Positivism, Material- ism, or something of the sort. But if, then, we call God infinite, how are we to regard man, and Satan? (the latter, at the very least, surely no integral part of him). ‘The fallacy lies not in my demonstra…

…from my father the head overseer brought forward a fattish young girl with a quite white skin. She yelled aloud for mercy, but it was no good. In a trice she found herself tied up to a triangle, and a lusty black was snipping great lumps out of her back with his whip. We raved in unison to her shrieks, and in one explosive foam of lust, jetted our family fountains at a single mo- ment. Before the woman fainted, the overseer gave the word to stop. She was a young and modest girl, and at his signal, three huge negroes bounded upon her. Heedless o…
