…lip, and cursed himself in silence; he knew he had been startled out of prudence. Simon Iff had not noticed the outburst. He quoted "The Book of the Law," "Be strong!" he cried. "Enjoy all things of sense and rapture! There is no god that shall deny thee for this!" The Thing became coherent. It contracted slightly. Lisa could now see that it was an animal of the wolf type, couchant. The body was as big as that of a small elephant. It became quite clearly visible. It was a dull fiery red. The head was turned toward her, and she was suddenly shoc…

This is LIBER AL vel LEGIS the Book of the Law of this New Aeon of Horus, the Crowned and Conquering Child, the Aeon whose Logos is The Beast 666, whose name in the Outer Order was Frater Perdurabo.

…ought such appalling havoc upon Earth, were originally no more than a distinction adopted for convenience. It is indeed the task of this Book to reduce Theology to the interplay of the Dyad Nuit and Hadit, these being themselves conceived as complementary, as Two equivalent to Naught, “divided for love’s sake, for the chance of union.” Thus once Europa, Semele and others claimed that Zeus— Air1 2—had enjoyed them in the form of a beast, bird, or what not; 1:29

Chapter I A- Verses 52-53 75 We must study the subject openly and impersonally, we must read textbooks, listen to lectures, watch demonstrations, earn our diplomas ere we enter practice. We do not mean what the bourgeois means when we say “the act of love.” To us it is not the gross gesture as of a man in a seizure, a snorting struggle, a senseless spasm, and a sudden revul sion of shame, as it is to him. We have an art of expression; we are trained to interpret the soul and the spirit in terms of the body. We do not deny the existence of the …

It is really worth the while of the Student who requires a sword to go and dig out iron ore from the earth, to* smelt it himself with charcoal that he has himself prepared, to forge the weapon with his own hand: and even to take the trouble of synthesizing the oil of vitriol with which it is engraved.

… part of the Gods that is not also of us.” 1 [See Liber 777, col. 11 (and note to first edition); these words, derived from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, occur in the Golden Dawn 5° = 6° ritual, and are the words of communication in “Liber XV” (the O.T.O. Gnostic Mass). See Works Cited.] Therefore, the Love that is Law is no less Love in the petty personal sense; for Love that makes two One is the engine whereby even the final Two, Self and Not-Self, may become One, in the mystic marriage of the Bride, the Soul, with Him appointed from eternit…

…consider the formula of Yoga from what may be called the mathematical, or magical standpoint. This formula has been described in my text-book on Magick, Chapter III., the formula of Tetragrammaton. This formula covers the entire universe of magical operations. The word usually pronounced Jehovah is called the Ineffable Name; it is alleged that when pronounced accurately its vibrations would destroy the universe; and this is indeed quite true, when we take the deeper interpretation. Tetragrammaton is so called from the four letters in the word: …

And there is the way by which I always go to the King, my Father, and that passage is built of thunder and lightning; but there is a holy Magician called Hermes, who takes me through so quickly that I arrive sometimes even at the very moment that I start.

…but very confusing explana- tions are given of the nomenclature of this literature.” He then proceeds to criticise the contents of those books! It is incredible that any one can be such an ass as to write the stuff that one finds in this book. Page after page of misstatement and misunderstanding. He is even unable to see a thing like the good manners of the natives. In all the time I was in India I do not recall a single instance of bad manners, except on the part of Babus who had learned them from low-class Europeans, like William Archer. When…

There is one thing I had intended to mention before. Instead of sleeping deeply, as was my former habit, I have lately noticed quite a change in this respect. Sometimes, though resting, I retain consciousness most of the night. In this state I appear to think very much along the same lines as I do in ordinary waking consciousness. In the morning I have the ability to change fr…

…of Love. The objection to Calypso, Circe, Armida, Kundry, and Co. is that one is liable to be shut up in their Gardens. The whole of the Book of the Dead is a device for opening the closed vehi cles, and enabling the Osiris to go in and out at his pleasure. On the other hand, there seems to be a Sealing Up, for a def inite period, in order to allow the Change to proceed undis turbed. Thus Earth lies fallow; the womb is closed during gestation; the Osiris is plugged with talismans. But it is vital to consider this as a strictly temporary devi…

asleep yourself, so that all the others may go to sleep in reality. It is described at no length whatever by Frazer in his book on sympathetic magic. For that most learned doctor, vir praeclarus et optimus, omits the single essential of his subject. It is not enough to pretend that your wax image is the person you want to bewitch; you must make a real connexion. That is the whole art of magic, to be able to do that; and it is the one point that Frazer omits." The Countess was now heaving horribly, and emitting a series of complicated snorts. Th…
