…air divide, and on the sea Thy spirit moved—and thou must envy me! Our love must lie beneath thy bitter ban! Thou petty, envious God! My King, be sure His brute force shall not to the end endure; Some stronger soul than thine shall wrest his crown And thrust him from his own high heaven down To some obscure forgetful hell. For me Forsake thy hopes in him. We worship, we, Rather the dear delights we know and hold; The first cool kiss, within the water cold That draws its music from some bubbling well, Looks long, looks deadly, looks desirable, ‘…

…as not the slightest risk of scandal. Only one thing stuck in my conscience, and fought the corrosive attack of the heroin-hunger. After King Lamus had gone this morning, Peter and I had quar- relled bitterly. I had given up Basil, I had given up all idea of living a decent life, I had embraced the monster in whose arms I was struggling, gone with my eyes wide open into his dungeon, devoted myself to drugs, and why? I was Sir Peter’s wife. The loss of my virtue, independence, self-respect, were demanded by my loyalty to him. And already that lo…

THE TAO (2) 237 present this translation of The Tao Teh King to the public. I hope and believe that careful study of the text, as elucidated by my commentary, will enable serious aspirants to the hidden Wisdom to understand (with fair accuracy) what Lao-tze taught. It must however be laid to heart that the essence of his system will inevitably elude intellectual apprehension, unless it be illuminated from above by actual living experience of the truth. Such experience is only to be attained by unswerving application to the practices which he ad…

What mortal hath greeted Thy shrine, but shall sing Not earthly but tunes of thine own, in the vaults of Aornos that ring? Nor caring nor hearing For hearts that be bowed, Nor hating nor fearing Man’s crying aloud, Solemnly spearing The single, the crowd, Thou sittest remote and alone, unprofane, with due silence endowed ! I call thee by Nature, My mother and frien…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Little by little it eats away the former, as a strong acid would eat away a piece of steel, and ultimately when the last atom has been destroyed it ceases to exist as a science, or as a method, and becomes the Aim, z.e., Knowledge. This is most beautifully described in the above-mentioned work as follows: 34. That Intelligence which incites the functions into the paths of virtue and vice “am I.” All this universe, moveable and immoveable, is from me; all things are seen through me; all are absorbed into me;* becau…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Arjuna says: “ For the mind is verily restless, O Krishna; it is impetuous, strong and difficult to bend, I deem it as hard to curb as the wind.” To which Krishna answers: “ Without doubt, O mighty- armed, the mind is hard to curb and restless, but it may be curbed by constant practice and by indifference.” * The Kundalini whilst it is yet coiled up in the Mdladhara is said to be in the MahakAsa, or in three dimensional space; when it enters the Sushumna it enters the Chittakdsa or mental Space, in which supersens…

… Self (its head in Daath) which hitherto had hampered it. ("If I were a dog, I should bark ; if I were an owl I should hoot," says Basil King Lamus in The Diary of a Drug Fiend.) He is totally indifferent to the Event; so then he acts and reacts with perfect elasticity. This is the Way of the Tao; and that is why you cannot grasp the very idea of the Way-much less follow it!-unless you are a Master of the Temple. Remember in any case, that not only the Adept, but anyone with the smallest capacity for Adeptship, is

…on and Westminster are the ventricles. Charing Cross Station, moreover, is the only true Metropolitan terminus. Euston, St. Pancras, and King's Cross merely convey one to the provinces, even, perhaps, to savage Scotland, as nude and barren to-day as in the time of Dr. Johnson; Victoria and Paddington seem to serve the vices of Brighton and Bournemouth in winter, Maidenhead and Henley in summer. Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street are mere suburban sewers; Waterloo is the funereal antechamber to Woking; Great Central is a "notion" imported, na…

… you know, a very great many desirable objects can be attained by the use of the talismans in The Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon the King; also in Pietro Oi Abano and the dubious Fourth Book of Cornelius Agrippa. You must on no account attempt to use the squares given in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage until you have succeeded in the Operation. More, unless you mean to perform it, and are prepared to go to any length to do so, you are a fool to have the book in your possession at all. Those squares are liable to get loose…

He went off to sleep very soon after. In the morning I found out what had happened to him. He had been round to some of the men he used to know in the hospital to get them to give him some H., but they hadn’t dared to do it.. They were suffering from a sense of insult about the new law, the Diabolical Dope Act. They had u…

Of whom BELIAL, BILETH, AsMopAy, and Gaap, were Chief. And it is to be noted that Solomon did this because of their pride, for he never declared other reason why he thus bound them. And when he had thus bound them up and sealed the Vessel, he by Divine Power did chase them all into a deep Lake or Hole in Babyl…
