The Scented Garden

…he modern biological methods of restoring sexual vigour are interesting. Brown- Sequard prepared a testicular infusion, but this was not found — everywhen, everywhere, and by all — a success. To-day they kill a goat, obtain the semen while the animal is still not quite dead, and preserve by a special process. Such 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 to…

Moonchild

found herself in a room at once obscure and menacing. She wondered why they called it a chapel. It was a bell-shaped cave. She dimly saw the white curtains of which Iff had spoken; there was nothing else in the room but a square thin altar whose surface was of polished silver, around whose base ran a broad copper band, evidently the circle referred to, and ten lamps, set in little stars of iron, which gave a faint blue light. The entire chamber was cut out of the solid rock. [93] Only that part of it which lay within the circle had been dressed…

Some of them are found in texts of the Hebrew Scriptures which appeared to those adapts to be of magical importance. Owing to their carelessness, the meaning of some few words has been lost, and cannot now be traced.

Snowdrops from a Curate’s Garden

[102] RONDEL Kissing her twat, I sat between her feet, Smelt it, and felt it : sucked and found it sweet : Made fast her legs, drew down her clitoris Long as long pricks, and juicy like a kiss : With her own fingers played upon the spot Kissing her twat. Shit were no sweeter than her spend to me ! Shit of dead lobsters under the cold sea ! What fart could get between my lips and hers ? What new sweet splutter of her hairy arse ? Unless perhaps her spitting piss me shot, Kissing her twat.

The Book of Thoth

… the god; to mock, to simu‐ late and to deceive. In philosophical language one may say: Manifestation implies illusion. This doctrine is found in Hindu philosophy, where the aspect of Tahuti of which we are speak‐ ing is called Mayan. This doctrine is also found in the central and typical image of the Maha‐ yana school of Buddhism (really identical with the doctrine of Shiva and Shakti). A vision of this image will be found in the document entitled “The Lord of Illusion”. (See Appendix.) The present card endeavours to represent all the above co…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

THE MAN-COVER When the cage, made of the strongest steel, was closed upon me, I found myself a prisoner in the most degrading state. I began to look around and to shake the bars of my grating, but in vain. The man-without-a-cover had gone. My next step was to inspect the prison. And in so doing I discovered in the left corner a box, resembling a coffin in shape, though it was certainly not a coffin such as I delight in seeing daily in the windows of the undertakers. It was divided into compartments! “Is this the box of lofty thoughts, I wonder?…

Aceldama

VII. I climbed still inwards. At the moveless point Where all power, light, life, motion concentrate, I found God dwelling. Strong, immaculate, He knew me and he loved ! His lips anoint My lips with love ; with thirst insatiate He drank my breath, Absorbed my life in His, dispersed me, gave me death. VIII. This is release, is freedom, is desire ; This is the one hope that a man may gain ; This is the lasting ecstasy of pain That fools reject, the dread, the searching fire That quivers in the marrow, that in vain Burns secretly The unconsuméd bu…

THE MAN-COVER And the man-who-lost-his-cover came into the room again. “Well,” said he, “I thought that by now you would have found your way to submit to necessity and reintegrate your real personality. What did you see in my box?” I told him, and instantly he grew pale and staggered. But after a moment he looked furiously at me, and resumed his former manner. “ By God !” he said, “I cannot believe you. How you have found out my secret and learned by heart the things which one ought to see in my box, but which one does not, I ignore. But you ca…
