… of enemies^ slain by the Magician; they thus served as warnings to any hostile force of what might be expected if it caused trouble. To-day such candles are difficult to procure; and it is perhaps simpler to use beeswax. The honey has been taken by the Magician; nothing is left of the toil of all those hosts of bees but the mere shell, the fuel of light. This beeswax is also used in the construction of the Pantacle, and this letter, so that the seven names (see "Equinox VII") are spelt out. But this is a rather different symbolism. Of course i…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX All is not well, but all will be well one day. God begins His work, and He will finish it. Without progress, evil would be immutable like God. Progress explains ruins, and consoles the weeping of Jeremiah. Nations succeed each other like men; and nothing is stable, because everything is marching towards perfection. The great man who dies bequeathes to his country the fruit of his works; the great nation which becomes extin- guished upon earth transforms itself into a star to enlighten the obscurities of History.

John St. John

… cognac, and cigar. It is a fatal error to knock the body to pieces and leave the consciousness intact, as has been the case with me all day. It is true that some people find that if they hurt the body, they make the mind unstable. True ; they predispose it to hallu- cination. One should use strictly corporeal methods to tame the body; strictly mental methods to control the mind. This latter restriction is not so vitally important. Any weapon is legitimate against a public enemy like the mind. No truce nor quarter] 67

…“ The Soldierand the Hunchback,” “ Equinox,” Ι.) But apart from this deep-seated philosophic doubt there is the practical doubt of every day. The popular phrase, “to doubt the evidence of one’s senses,” shows us that that evidence is normally accepted; but a man of science does nothing of the sort. He is so well aware that his senses constantly deceive him, that he invents elaborate instruments to correct them. And he is further aware that the Universe which he can directly perceive through sense, is the minutest fraction of the Universe which …

In the forest even an hour calms the most turbulent spirit; a day will cure most worries ; and a week with an axe may be recommended to neurasthenics as more than the equivalent of the most expensive Weir-Mitchell treatment and rest-cures If fashionable doctors could afford to be honest, they would order work-cures for nine—tenths of their patients.

Some days afterwards, the Professor of Transcendental Magic was awakened, about two o'clock in the morning, by an acute pain in the head. For some moments he feared a cerebral congestion. He therefore rose, relit his lamp, opened his window, walked to and fro in his study, and then, calmed by the fresh air of the morning, he lay down again, and slept deeply. He had a nightmare: he saw, terribly real, the giant with…

…s- ness, and (it seems to me) it is this Avimdéd facie case that mystics have always needed to make out, and never have made out. But to-day I claim the hashish-phenomena as mental phenomenaof thefirst importance; and I demand investigation. I assert—more or less ex cathedré—that meditation will revolutionise our conception of the universe, just as the microscope has done. Then my friend the physiologist remarks: “But if you disturb the observing faculty with drugs and a special mental training, your results will be invalid.” And I reply: “ But…
