…ot. To us every grain of dust, every jet of hydrogen on the sun's envelope, is the manifestation of a section of some soul: "And here we find ourselves quite suddenly and unexpectedly in line with some of the old Rosicrucian doctrines. "This brings us to the consideration of certain experiments made by our predecessors. They had quite another theory of souls; at least, their language was very different to ours; but they wanted very much to produce a man who should not be bound up [107] in his heredity, and should have the environment which they…

… in such a pattern, for example, as the Many Stars, or the Owl, or the Zigzag Lightning; and assuredly the magicians thus assailed would find similar re- arrangements of the contents of their peritonea. After various preliminary exercises, annoying to the objects of this solicitude, Arthwait proposed to proceed to the grand operation of all, tying up his gut in the Elusive Yam pattern, which, from the [183] greatest complexity, dissolves like a dream at a single last twist; the persons thus sympathetically treated would obviously perish no less…

…is full form in the Tarot Trump XV, “The Devil.”) Now Zeus being lord of Air, we are reminded that aleph is the letter of Air. As Air we find the “Wandering Fool” pure wanton Breath, yet creative. Wind was supposed of old to impregnate the Vulture, which therefore was chosen to symbolize the Mother-Goddess. He is the Wandering Knight or Prince of Fairy Tales who mar ries the King’s Daughter. This legend is derived from certain cus toms among exogamic tribes, for which see The Golden Bough.1 1 [Sir J.G. Frazer, The Golden Bough: A Study in Mag…

… kiss, that is the humour of it, but adieu.” King Henry V. THE third time bitterly came reason back. Is it a fault in love when mornings find The soul grown sober and rethroned the ‘ mind? Or is it mere necessity to track The candid chequer cross-wise to the black, And love, not mutable, yet well inclined To take his pleasure in becoming blind After such sight mere day is wont to lack? _So we were angry with ourselves and said We would not kiss—two days, and we would part. And she prayed heaven that she might be dead, And I cursed heaven and my…

…on VISITA INTERIORA TERRAE REC‐ TIFICANDO INVENIES OCCULTUM LAPIDEM. “Visit the interior parts of the earth: by rectification thou shalt find the hidden stone.” Its initials make the word V.I.T.R.I.O.L., the Universal Solvent, to be discussed later. (Its value is 726=6 x 112=33 x 22.) This “hidden stone” is also called the Universal Medicine. It is sometimes described as a stone, sometimes as a powder, sometimes as a tincture. It divides again into two forms, the gold and the silver, the red and the white; but its essence is always the same, an…

Across the city, as in closéd meres, Making the pavements isles, it disappears ; In it all creatures’ thirst relief hath found ; All nature in its scarlet hue is drowned.

… a cry of triumph. That is so, subjectively, for them, but no more, and the one fact does not alter the other. Surely Our Fid. Def. will find little support in this claim on behalf of death. We all die ; it was the Resurrection and Ascension which stamped Christ as God. Our Philosopher will, I think, fight shy of these events. The two thieves were “ nailed up like vermin ” on either side of Christ by precisely the same people ; are they also gods ? To found a religion on the fact of death, murder though it were, is hardly more than African feti…
