…den magic; her delicious face Grew more and more upon the hero’s sight, Till all the hut was filled with rosy light, And Charicles’ grey eyes were Juminous With love-reflections multitudinous As lilies in the spring. Again was seen As in a mirror, like the ocean green, The admirable birth of Love’s eternal Queen. So Charicles a moment was amazed. A moment; then, contemptuous, he gazed With curling lip on her, and sourly scorns Her petty miracle: ‘‘ The deed adorns Too well a queen whose promises are foam.” And she, indignant, would have hied he…

At last, on the day of D., the mother of P.,? he straightened himself up and spake. This his final discourse was written down then by the dying lions in their own blood, traced willingly on the desert sands about the Grove of the Tlustrious. Also here set down: but who will confirm the same, let him seek it on the sands. Children of my Will, said our Father, from w…

… Lion, By the Power of the Daughter of the Flaming Sword. About me the Lions are roaring for their prey; But I am Sekhet, of the Flaming Eyes. Turned is my face to the left, And the Priestess of the Silver Star is my guide. Now am I come forth upon the Path of the Lion, And my thought in the Place of the gathering of the Waters. I am the Established one in Daath! In me is the Knowledge of Good and of Evil! In me is the Knowledge of the Light Supernal! And my face is turned downward unto Malkuth. 332

It is sometimes difficult to open them. You will then perceive all sorts of forms, varying as you travel about. Their nature will depend almost entirely on your power of control. Some people may even perceive the phantoms of delirium and madness, and truly go mad from fear and horror. Let the “astral” body return and sit down, coinciding with the physical body. Clos…

One single thought about the past that thou hast left behind, will drag thee down, and thou wilt have to start the Climb anew. Remember Lot’s wife. 66. Killin thyself all memory of past experiences.

… course of the day, and you know well what en- joyment we draw from this faculty which ren- ders life more living and significant to our eyes than it is for other men. In the retired district where I dwelt, and where broad brass-covered spaces still separate the buildings, I often saw a child whose eager and merry face attracted me at the first glance more than did that of anyone else. He had posed more than once for me, and I have turned him at one time into a little gipsy, at another into an angel, at an- other into a Cupid; I have made him c…

The Star in the West

… WEST Of mingling fire , and stars and roses swart In the long flame of hair that leaps athwart , Live in each tingling gossamer ! Dread eyes ! Each flings its arrow of sharp sacrifice , Eating me up with poison ! I am hurled Far through the vaporous confines of the world With agony of sundering sense , beholding Thy mighty flower , blood - coloured death , unfolding ! Lithe limbs and supple shoulders and lips curled , Curled out to draw me to their monstrous world ! Tannhäuser now enters the palace of the great queen Venus , the false Isis , L…
