Did not the Order of the Temple prepare the Renaissance by fusing the Mysteries of the East and West? Then there burst out on a sudden a whiteness on the chart, as if the stain had been expunged (albeit not wholly by the sweep of steel) and this word writ in curving characters scimitar-sharp

[This from a hill-top I beheld, dark as of a dying world. Covered with black decayed wet peaty wood, a few pines stood stricken, unutterably alone.*] But behind the glory of its coruscations seemed to shape, an idea less solid than a shadow! an Idea of some Human-seeming Form! Now grew doubt and thought in P.’s miserable mind; and the One Wave grew many waves and all was lost! Alas! Alas! for P.!| And Gl…

…tty well all the positive injunctions imply reckless enthusiasm. "Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us." (A L, II: 20) What's more, meanness does not even pay! I propose to tell you why this is, and how things work out. What is money? A medium of exchange devised to facilitate the transaction of business. Oil in the engine. Very good, then; if instead of letting it flow as freely and smoothly as possible, you baulk its very nature; you prevent it from doing its True Will. So every "restriction" …

Get away, dear, Adams gone out for an hour, quick, and dont hurt me. No, Eve, I will spend the night with you. But Adam ? Let him come in too. No, hell discover everything. Id rather any other plan. My plan is necessary you dont know all the secret yet. And with an affectionate little snap at the cl…

And I will bind thee in the Eternal Fire, and into the Lake of Flame and of Brimstone, unless thou comest quickly and appearest here before this Circle to do my will. Therefore, come thou! in and by the holy names ApDoNAI, ZABAOTH, ADONAI, AMIORAN. Come thou! for it is ADONAI who commandest thee. 42
…n within ! Dead silence succeeds The sound of the prayer. Again the loud lyre Shudders and bleeds In the desolate air With a sound as of fire ! The hound recedes ; But the gates stand there, Barring desire, Barring the way Of the dead unburied, Unshrived, and unblessed ; They stand and pray In legions serried, Beating the breast, Tearing the hair, Rending the raiment. There is none. to care. No golden paymen Availeth at all. There is none to call; There is none to pity : They stand in their pain At the gate of the city. There is none to feel Or…

…ing” because of the instability of thought, and the fatuity of reason, on which we are yet dépendent for what we call “life”, “Rush- ing Fire” is the world in which wandering thought burns up to swift-darting Will. These four stages explain how the non-Ego is transmuted intc the instrument of knowledge, independent of the personality of its possessor. One must treat it exactly as one treats one’s electroscope or one’s eyes; one influence of one’s wishes. A physician calls in a colleague to attend to his own family, knowing that personal anxiety…
…xultant blade, life tempered by eternity. She And I who witness am possessed by awe grown crimson with desire, Its iron image wrapped in fire and branded idly on my breast. Her face is bronze, her skin is grecn, as woods and suns would have it so. Her secret wonders grow and glow, limned in the luminous vatine. Worship, the sculptor’s, clean forgot in worship of her body lithe, And time forgotten with his scythe, and thought, the Witenagemot. Confused in rapture: peace is culled a flower from the arboreal root, The vision dulled, the singer mut…

They leap as a host With weapons of fire On a desolate coast, Where love is lost And the bitterness clings of fear, and the Hail to ye, hail sadness dogs of desire ! In the hollow vale, Your weapons are lifted against me in vain. Thrice girded with brass, My lyre shall charm ye, Thrice bound with iron, My voice disarm ye, The gate is in three For I am the soul overshadowed of Pillars of gold, pain ! But I will pass (My heart as a lion, Hail to y…
…concentrate your mind, and cocaine to overcome the effects of fatigue. And the reason you did not use them was that a burnt child dreads fire. We had the same trouble with teaching Hermes and Dionysus to swim. They found themselves in danger of being drowned and thought the best way was to avoid going near the water. But that didn’t help them to use their natural faculties to the best advantage, so I made them face the sea again and again, until they decided that the best way to avoid drowning was to learn how to deal with oceans in every detai…
…You are familiar with the Four Powers of the Sphinx, attributed by the Adepts of old time to their Four Elements. Air is to Know, Scire; Fire is to Will, Velie; Water is to Dare, Audere; and Earth is to Keep Silence, Tacere. But now that a fifth Element, Spirit, is generally recognized in the Qabalah, I have deemed it proper to add a Fifth Power corresponding: to Go, Ire. (The Book of Thoth, p. 275) Then, as Spirit is the Origin, the Essence, and the Sum of the other four, so is to Go in relation to those powers. And to Go is the very meaning o…

And neither God nor Man, nor ail the malice of Choronzon, can either check him, or cause him to waver for one instant upon the Path.

… take a normal view of nature. In my situation, I could not dismiss the falsities of Christianity with a smile; I was compelled to fight fire with fire and to oppose their poisoned poultices with poisoned daggers. Such was the influence of home life. But it was partially interfered with by the more decent current of school life. I have mentioned my school in Streatham. It was there that occurred the last important incident of this period. Being the star chemist of the school, I determined to distinguish myself on the fifth of November, 1891. I …

… not to find them in the forest or on the mountain; but in beds of purple, caressed by magnificent beasts of women with large limbs, and fire and light in their eyes, and masses of flaming hair about them; there shall ye find them. Ye shall see them at rule, at victorious armies, at all the joy; and there shall be in them a joy a million times greater than this. Beware lest any force another, King against King! Love one another with burning hearts; on the low men trample in the fierce lust of your pride, in the day of your wrath. Commentary: Th…
… aged man (for it was written that His days should be an hundred and twenty years) who stood before a table of seven sides, whereon were fire, and incense in a thurible, and bread. Of these did he bid me partake; and they being consumed, he took a phial of golden oil from their midst, and anointed mine eyes, and mine ears, and my lips. With that I was aware of the image of a God, severe and noble of aspect, his spirit utterly calm, in his right hand a sickle and in his left an hourglass. And as I looked upon him, he reversed his wrist, for the …
