…upreme, descends directly upon him, though the Path of Gimel, the High Priestess, the triune light of Initiation. The Three‐ in‐One, the Secret Mother in her polymorphous plenitude; these, these alone, hail him thrice blessed of the Supernals! The card represents the Sword of the Magus (see Book 4, Part II) crowned with the twenty‐two rayed diadem of pure Light.

202 The Diary of a Drug Fiend At the same time, he would feel a certain secret pleasure if he knew that I, on my part, had had some- thing of the same feeling for him. And all the time, he went on playing with the heroin. Once or twice he nearly dropped it in his nervous emotion. It made me jump to think of the danger to that precious powder. But there was clearly only one thing to be done to get it: to fall in with the old fellow’s humour. I let my head fall on my breast and looked at him sideways out of the corners of my eyes. “You can’t expe…

…him this was all nonsense. I told him that I was not in any plot against him. It didn’t set his mind at ease. I had to tell him my great secret that I am the woman clothed with the sun in the Book of Revelations, and that he must protect me. I proved to him that this was the only explanation. The reason why he couldn’t live with me as my husband was that my angel had told me that I was going to bring the Messiah into the world. We went into a heated argument. I don’t remember what happened; but as usual, it turned into a quarrel. One must be co…

…iron image wrapped in fire and branded idly on my breast. Her face is bronze, her skin is grecn, as woods and suns would have it so. Her secret wonders grow and glow, limned in the luminous vatine. Worship, the sculptor’s, clean forgot in worship of her body lithe, And time forgotten with his scythe, and thought, the Witenagemot. Confused in rapture: peace is culled a flower from the arboreal root, The vision dulled, the singer mute, shattered the lute, the song annulled.

Well, that might be understood; but how did he know his most secret fear, the fact that since the crime his demons had lost their courage? He shook the feeling off, and turned again to gloat over the death of Balloch. "Who was that?" asked Bowling. "The Grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button on top! That's Douglas!" "The Black Lodge man?" "Ex-man." "I see daylight. Balloch was condemned, you know, for a crime done twenty years ago. Douglas must have know…

His force flows through him unhindered. You have not been yourself till this morning when you forgot yourself, forgot who you were, didn’t know who kissed you and brought you your breakfast.” She looked up with a slow half-shamefaced smile into my eyes. “And I lost you,” said I, “after tiffin, when I remembered myself and forgot my work.

Both of them open up a seemingly boundless vista of possibilities to him who knows the causes of things and can touch the secret springs that set in motion the vast and intncate mechanism of the worid. Hence the strong attraction which magic and science alike hâve exercised on the human mindj hence the powerful stimulus that both hâve given to the pursuit of knowledge.

A Freemason never forgets the secret words entrusted to him, though these words mean, absolutely nothing to him, in the vast majority of cases; the only reason for this is that he has been forbidden to mention them, although they hâve been published again and again, and are as accessible to the profane as to the initiate.

So he fished out a snake of pigeon’s blood rubies. My God! it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life, except Lou herself.

But the condition of allowing such apparent laxity is this: That one should be as swift and terse as Trotsky in any similar situation. If one's family were reasonable human beings, (But they never are, she sighed) one could perhaps do wiseliest by explaining the situation.

…t length because I wish to emphasize its importance. Most of the numbers and words openly mentioned in The Book of the Law which conceal Secret Matters were already at that time possessed of a certain significance for me. Some uncon scious cooperation of my mind might be alleged as the determi nant factor in the choice of those numbers, their subsequent interconnections, and so on explained by the commentators’ inge nuity, and the confirmation of independent facts by coincidence. Similarly, the hidden numbers such as 3.141593, 395,1 31, 93, …
