O Master, I conjure you, you who need only say one word, make one sign, and the spirits will obey, take pity upon me, and restore to me what I have lost !” “Give me your grimoive/” said Eliphas. “What name used you to give to the spirit who appeared to you?” “T called him Adonai.” “ And in what language was his signature ?” “T do not know, but I suppose it was in Hebrew.” “ There,” said the Professor of Transcendental Magic, after having traced two words in th…

It is a combined series of progressive alphabets where each letter represents a word, the words correspond to each other, and complete themselves from one alphabet to another; and there is no doubt that Trithemius was acquainted with the Tarot, and made use of it to set his learned combinations in logical order.

… of what we dont know, it is in some ways more satisfying to our baser natures to consider what we do know in a reasonable sense of the word. It is not disputable that the battle of Waterloo was fought and won. It is not disputable that it was the climax, or rather the denouement, of cam- paigns lasting over a number of years. And there is no reason for doubting that Napoleon was born in Corsica, that he entered the French army, and rose rapidly to power by a combination of military genius and political intrigue. There is a vast body of indire…

Time is the synthesis of all experiences of sequence .' So we find that taking the above as general de finitions , they may with equal accuracy be applied to either the Ego or the race ; in the former case , Space and Time vanishing with the extinction of the indi vidual ; in the latter with that of the race .

…of the greatest masters that has ever lived, have baffled the pedantry and stupidity of such commentators as Waite. English has hardly a word to express the mental condition of such unfortunates. Dummzhezt, in its strongest German sense, is about the nearest thing to it. It is as if a geographer should criticize Gulliver's Travels from his own particular standpoint.

…es and numbers movable by means of dice. It is a Tarot disposed in the form of a wheel, for the use of aspirants to initiation. Now, the word Tarot, in which one finds “rota” and ‘‘tora,” itself expresses, as William Postel has demonstrated, this primitive disposition in the form of a wheel. The hieroglyphs of the game of goose are simpler than those of the Tarot, but one finds the same symbols in it: the juggler, the king, the queen, the tower, the devil or Typhon, death, and so on. The dice-indicated chances of the game represent those of lif…

…to objects of perception, the pupil must seek out the Rajah (king) of the senses, the Thought-Producer, he (sa) who awakes illusion. The word “indifferent” here implies ‘able to shut out.’ The Rajah referred to is in that spot whence thoughts spring. He turns out ultimately to be Mayan, the great Magician described in the 3rd A&thyr. (See Equinox I. V. Supple- ment.) Let the Student notice that in his early meditations, all his thoughts will be under the Tamo-Guna, the principle of Inertia and Darkness. When he has destroyed all those, 9

With all respect to Buddha, fleeing The dreadful problem with the word “Who answers, as who asks, hath erred,” I must decidedly insist On asking why these things exist. My mind refuses to admit All-Power can be all-Wickedness. —Nay ! but it may ! What shadows flit Across the awful veil of mist ? What thoughts invade, insult, impress ?

Wounded himself, he is nursed back to life by the wife of his adversary . Ah God ! she won that most reluctant breath Out of corruption : love ! ah ! love is strong ! What waters quench it ? King Shalomeh saith .? Thus failed the Quest , as all quest against love must inevitably fail . A man who truly loves a woman loves her so intensely that all el…

The whole tenor of The Book of the Law is to this effect. The very test of worth is that one should be aware of it and not afraid to sock the next man on the jaw if he disputes it! Love is the law, love under will. Fraternally, 666 P.S. But what do I mean when I say "myself' in normal speech? I mean Tiphareth, the human self as determining the identit…
