…r Therion was delighted to remark that his compound letter MGN, constructed on theoretical principles with the idea of incorporating the new knowledge of the Aeon, had the value of 93 (M = 40, G = 3, N = 50). 93 is the number of the word of the Law — T helema — Will, and of Agapé -— Love, which indicates the nature of Will. It is further¬ more the number of the Word which overcomes death, as members of the degree of M.M. of the O.T.O. are well awarej and it is also that of the complété formula of existence as expressed in the 48

…ed. It is rather the sacrifice of the Man, who transfers life to his descendants. For a woman does not carry in herself the principle of new life, except tem- porarily, when it is given her. But here the formula implies much more even than this. For it is his whole life that the Magus offers to Our Lady. The Cross is both Death and Génération, and it is on the Cross that the Rose blooms. The full significance of these symbols is so lofty that it is hardly fitted for an elementary treatise of this type. One must be an Exempt Adept, and hâve beco…

New phrases have to be put in; sudden changes of subject must be introduced; verbs must be shifted to unsuspected localities; short words must be excised with ruthless hand; archaisms must be sprinkled like sugar-plums upon the concoction; the fatal human tendency to say things straightforwardly must be detected and defeated by adroit reversals; and, if a glimmer of meaning yet remain under close scrutiny, it …

…man sees things differently to one of normal vision.) It is more convenient to assume the objective existence of an “Angel” who gives us new knowledge than to allégé that our invocation has awakened a supernormal power in ourselves. Such incidents as “Calderazzo” 1 and “Jacob” 2 make this more cogent. rebuttal. But most of these subtleties miss the point. Truth must be defined. It is a name, being a noun (nomen); and ail names are human symbols of things. Now Truth is the power to arouse a certain reaction (“assent”) in a man, under certain con…

It is vital that the Adept should train his inteilectual faculties to tell him the truth, in the measure of their capacity.

attack any problem soever, when he who has merely specialized has got into a groove, and can no longer adapt and adjust himself to new conditions. The principle is quite universal. You do not train a violonist to play the Beethoven Concerto 3 you train him to play every conceivable consecution of notes with perfect ease, and you keep him at the most monotonous drill possible for years and years before you allow him to go on the platform. You make of him an instrument perfectly able to adjust itself to any musical problem that may be set before …

…ery sorry to have to say it, but it is not unlike that of the spendthrift. Money must circulate, or it loses its true value. A banker in New York once told me that the dollar circulated nine times as fast as the English equivalent, so that people seemed to themselves to be nine times as rich. (I told you about the £ 100 note in a special letter on Money.) But here I am stressing the spiritual effect; what happens is that anxiety vanishes; one feels that as it goes out, so it comes in. This view is not incompatible with thrift and prudence, and …

The jaw was square, the planes of the face curiously fiat. The mouth was small, a poppy-petal of vermilion, intensely sensuous. The nose was small and rounded, but fine, and the life of the face seemed concentrated in the nostrils. The eyes were tiny and oblique, with strange brows of defiance. A small tuft of irrepressible hair upon the forehead started up like a…

…uch. But in a System of divination each Symbol stands for a definite idea. It would not interfère with the English language to add a few new letters. In fact, some Systems of shorthand hâve done so. But a System of symbols suitable for divination must be a complété représentation of the Universe, so that each is absolute, and the whole insusceptible of increase or diminution. It is (in fact) tech- nically a pantacle in the fullest sense of the word. Let us consider some prominent examples of such System. We may observe that a common mode of div…
