The Equinox (Volume I, Number V)

Thou knowest, O my Father, that he who writes these lines has struggled much and suffered much; he has endured poverty, calumny, proscription, prison, the forsaking of those whom he loved:—and yet never did he find himself un- happy, since truth and justice remained to him for consolation | Thou alone art holy, O God of true hearts and upright …

That they may swim, O my beloved, swim far in the warm honey of Thy being, O blessed one, O boy of beati- tude! 54. This heart of mine is girt about with the serpent that devoureth his own coils. 55. When shall there be an end, O my darling, O when shall the Universe and the Lord thereof be utterly swal- lowed up? 56. Nay! who shall devour the Infinite? who shall undo the Wrong of the Beginning? 57. Thou criest like a white cat upon the roof of the Uni- vers…

Magick in Theory and Practice (Section 3)

Line 6 Line 7 Line 8 G.\ D.*. (as it is printed in Equinox I, II, for the old aeon) the Hierophant is the perfected Osiris, who brings the candidate, the natural Osiris, to identity with himself. But in the new Aeon the Hierophant is Horus (Liber CCXX, I 49) therefore the Candidate will be Horus too. What then is the formula of the initiation of Horus ? It will no longer be that of the Man, through Death. It will be the natural growth of the Child. His expériences will no more be regarded as catastrophic. Their hieroglyph is the Pool: the innoc…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE EQUINOX descended a God-illumined Adept. He fully realized that to admit into his argument the comment of God was to erase all hope of deliverance from the text, and therefore, though he had become The Buddha, nevertheless, in his selflessness he stooped down to the level of the lowest of mankind, and abandoning as dross the stupendous powers he had acquired, helped his fellows to realize the right path by the most universal of all symbols—the woe of the world, the sorrow of mankind. Like the Vedantist, he saw that the crux of the whole tro…
