…is a place for thine Image in a realm ever splendid. If thou extend the Fiery Mind to the work of piety, thou wilt preserve the fluxible body ."3 It appears that the Levant, from Byzantium and Athens to Damascus, Jerusalem, Alexandria. and Cairo, was preoccupied with the formulation of this School in a popular religion, beginning in the days of Augustus Caesar. For there are elements of this central idea in the works of the Gnostics, in certain rituals of what Frazer conveniently calls the Asiatic God, as in the remnants of the Ancient Egyptian…

…e eyes, o prophet, a light unde sired, most desirable. 62. I am uplifted in thine heart; and the kisses of the stars rain hard upon thy body. 63. Thou art exhaust in the voluptuous fullness of the inspira tion; the expiration is sweeter than death, more rapid and laughterful than a caress of Hell’s own worm. 64. Oh! thou art overcome: we are upon thee; our delight is all over thee: hail! hail: prophet of Nu! prophet of Had! prophet of Ra-Hoor-Khu! Now rejoice! now come in our splendour

In an epilogue to the story, written in a rougher metre, the author is somewhat happier.”— The Criti…

Ofttimes the Spirit of the Lord Descends and floods me with his breath ; My words are fashioned as a sword, My voice is like the voice of death. The thunder of the Spirit’s wings Brings terror to the hearts of kings. Anon, and I am driven out In desert places by desire ; My mouth is salt and dry; I doubt If hell hath such another fire ; If God’s damnation can devise A lust to match these agonie…

Always keep your body and mind in a healthy and fit condition; and never carry out an exercise, whether mental or physical, when you are fatigued. 3. In an ideal country the hours in which to practice are: at sunrise, sunset, noon and midnight (and always before a meal, never immediately after one). 1Jt is presumptuous for a Neophyte to lay down rules; for (a) he cannot possibly know what his Probationer needs, having no recor…

When the organs of the body assert their presence otherwise than by silent satisfaction, it is a sign that they are diseased. The single exception is the organ of reproduction. Yet even in this case its self-assertion bears witness to its dissatisfaction with itself, since it cannot fulfil its function until completed by its counterpart in another organisai.)

Their bodies were in orison; but their spirits were in the house of the fallen chief of the Golden Dawn. At first Frater P. was seized with horror at the sight, he knew not whether to direct a hostile current of will against D.D.C.F. and V.N.R., supposing them to be guilty of cherishing within their bodies the spirits of two disincarnated vampires, or …

We are all members of the Body of God, the Sun; and about our System is the Ocean of Space. This formula is then to be based upon these facts. Our “Evil,” “Error,” “Darkness,” “Illusion,” whatever one chooses to call it, is simply a phenomenon of accidental and temporary sepa rateness. If you are “walking in darkness,” do not try to make the sun rise by self-sacrifice, but wait in confidence for the dawn, and enjoy the pleasures of th…
