…Fire of Yod, which, consuming that Virgin, doth not add a Fifth Person, but balanceth and perfecteth all. For his Shin, that is the Holy Spirit, pervadeth these, and is immanent. Thus in three Operations is the Pentagram formulated. But in the Figure of that Star these Operations are not indicated, for the five Lines of Force connect not according to any of them; but five new Operations are made possible; and these are the Works proper to the perfected man. First, the Work which lieth level, the Vau with the Hé, is of he Yang and the Yin, and m…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…olar, but with the insight that comes from inborn sympathetic understanding. I did not fully realize the colossal stature of that sacred spirit; but I was instantly aware that this man could teach me more in a month than anyone else in five years. He was living in great discomfort and penury. I offered him the hospitality of my flat. I have always felt that since the occult sciences nourish so many charlatans, it should be one's prime point of honour not to make money in any way connected with them1. The amateur status above all! Hospitality is…

The Adept must accept every “spirit”, every “spell”, every “scourge”, as part of his environment, and make them ail “subject to” himself ; that is, consider them as contributory causes of himself. They hâve made him what he is. They correspond exactly to his own faculties. They are ail — ultimately — of equal importance. The fact that he is what he is proves that each item is equilibrated. The impact of each new impression affects the ent…

(The Frater was seated in a secret place covered completely by ablack robe, in the position called the “ Thunderbolt.” He did not move or speak during the ceremony).

And all the spirit passing down Involves my heart with gray: So the pale stars of even crown The glow of twilight ; dip and drown The last despairs of day. Oh ! closer yet and closer yet The pearl of faces grows. The hair is woven like a net Of moonlight round me : sweet is set The mouth’s unbudded rose.

The Vision and the Voice

… senses hath he trained scarcely at all, and therefore the Aethyrs are almost silent to him on those planes. By the senses are meant the spiritual correlations of the senses, not the physical senses. But this matters little, because the Seer, so far as he is a seer, is the expression of the spirit of humanity. What is true of him is true of humanity, so that even if he had been able to receive the full Aethyrs, he could not have communicated them. And an Angel speaks: Behold, this vision is utterly be- yond thine understanding. Yet shalt thou e…

I got hot and red behind the ears. Everybody from Big Lion with his tumbler full of champagne to Dionysus with his liqueur glass of the same was holding it out to me as if drinking to my health. I availed myself of the rule which permits us to leave the table without ceremony. I would go back to the other house and work. But a sudden thought struck me just as I got outside the door…
