THE EQUINOX this is contrary. And the nave or axis of the wheel will be about the invisible station of Harpocrates ; as though that God stood there with the sign of Silence, and affirmed the concealment of that central atom of the wheel which alone revolveth not. The object of the Mystic Circumambulation is to attract and make connection between the Divine Light above and the Temple, and therefore the Hierophant quitteth his throne to take part therein, but remaineth there to attract by his sceptre the Light from beyond the Veils. Each member i…

…rey never struck the Watcher," he said; "it was not his style; who was it?" "Simon Iff." "I shall see to that." Balloch understood that, though S.R.M.D. feared Iff and loathed him, his great preoccupation was with Cyril Grey. He hated the young magician with a perfect hatred; he would never forget his ruin at those boyish hands. Also, he forgave nothing, from a kindness to an insult; he was malignant for the sake of malice. "They will have gone over to their house on Montmartre," continued Douglas, in a voice of absolute certitude. "We must hav…

…ch we are trying to change. If one will the death of a sinner, it is not sufficient to hâte him, even if we grant that the vibrations of thought, when sufficiently powerful and pure, may modify the Astral light sufficiently to impress its intention to a certain extent on such people as happen to be sensitive. It is much surer to use one’s mind and muscle in service of that hâte by devising and making a dagger, and then applying the dagger to the heart of one’s enemy. One must give one’s hâte a bodily form of the same order as that which one’s e…

… of ink in the palm of the hand, or into a mirror, or into a teacup. Just as with a microscope the expert operator keeps both eves open, though seeing only through the one at the eye-piece of the instrument, so the natural eyes, ceasing to give anv message to the brain, the attention is withdrawn from them, and the man begins to see through the Astral eyes. These methods appear to The Master Therion to be unsatisfactory. Very often they do not work at ail. It is difficult to teach a person to use these methods; and, worst of ali, they are purel…

The kingdom is extended.? Night Dwells, and I contemplate the sight That is not seeing, but the light That secretly is kindled, Though oft time its most holy fire Lacks oil, whene’er my own Desire Bef…

…artist, the true lover of Love, shameless and fearless, seeing God face to face alike in our own souls within and in all Nature without, though we use, as the bourgeois does, the word Love, we hold not the word “too often profaned for us to profane it”; it burns inviolate in its sanctuary, being reborn immaculate with every breath of life. But by “Love” we mean a thing which the eye of the bourgeois hath not seen, nor his ear heard; neither hath his heart conceived it. We have

How hardly a man Come forth, ye Though his strength were as spring’s Shall stretch out his span To the width of my wings ! The years are enfolden In my bosom golden, My periods Are the hours of the Gods. They have their plan In my seasons; all things Are woven in the span Of the spread of my wings. My brazen gates cleft By shafts shed of time, Are ruined and left As the Gods sing their rhyme. Buttress and joist are Effaced of the cloister. F…

…n-dwelling of the God. to P.M. I experienced another peculiar state just now, Having closed my eyes for a few moments (concentrating), I thought I would try and think backwards over the last few things I had been doing, but found, try as I would, I could not think of things done even a moment before. All was the “present peculiar ex- perience,” and there was no getting away from it. The concentration acted just like a magnet, and became automatic. Again, on trying to look back over this retirement, it appears as a “Single state of consciousness…

…e, that anything whatever, no matter how elusive, such as the ghost of one's father or the soul of one's enemy, may be caught similarly, though of course the net must be adapted to the special game that one is after. With these things Arthwait was familiar, and it occurred to him that it should be easy to identify string, or, preferably, cat-gut, with the viscera of his victims. There could then be no difficulty in knotting up the cords in such a pattern, for example, as the Many Stars, or the Owl, or the Zigzag Lightning; and assuredly the mag…

"I don't see what you mean." "Here's a case. Suppose you swore 'not to touch alcohol.'

…e mental or moral Self do not apply to it. We love; that is, we will to unite: then the one must study the other, divine every butterfly thought as it flits, and offer the flower it most fancies. The vocabulary of Love is small, and its terms are hackneyed; to seek new words and phrases is to be affected, stilted. It chills. But the language of the body is never exhausted; one may talk for an hour by means of an eyelash. There are intimate, delicate things, shadows of the leaves of the Tree of the Soul that dance in the breeze of Love, so subtl…

There was yet another compartment. Scott, Burns and my cousin Gregor had made me a romantic Jacobite. I regarded the Houses of Hanover and Coburg as German usurpers; and I wished to place "Mary III and IV" on the throne. I was a bigoted legitimist. I actually joined a conspiracy on behalf of Don Carlos, obtained a commission to work a machine gun, t…

…incarnations, because he knows he will corne through unchanged. “Therefore you can hâve an infinité number of gods, individual and equal though diverse, each one suprême and utterly indestructible. This is also the only explanation of how a being could create a war in which war, evil, etc. exist. Evil is only an appearance, because, (like “good”) it cannot affect the substance itself, but only multiply its combinations. This is something the same as mystic monotheism, but the objection to that theory is that God has to create things which are a…

It is the symbol of the Hidden Light of Occult Science.” It here representeth to him a vague formulation of his ideal, which he can neither grasp nor analyse. Yet this Light is not the symbol of his own Higher Self, but rather a ray from the Gods to lead him there. * Meaning also: “ Let the Light arise in the Candidate,” Il R 257
