… pumps of Doubt, because the final result is declared by his philosophy to be unknowable. If any one cause be unknowable, be it first or last, then all causes are unknowable. The will to create is denied, the will to annihilate is denied, and finally the will to act is denied. Propositions perhaps true to the Master, but certainly not so to the disciple. Because Titian was a great artist and Rodin is a great sculptor, that is no reason why we should abolish art schools and set an embargo on clay. If the will to act is but a mirage of the mind, …

…on, as if the harmony were broken up into innumerable fragments; clashing together, nor is there any speech articulate; until a fearful blast peals forth, a trumpeting of Majesty. But within the blare of the tempest sounds a Voice steady and stern, yet full of peace and kindliness: 4. The Necessity of the Universe is the Measure of thy Righteousness. Now follows martial music, wild and full of the rushing of Fire: 5. The Movement of the Universe is the Fulfilment of thine Energy. And this is blended with the echo of all former voices and their …
… other incident of the journey, an absurd little tragedy in this connection. We had some tins of coffee and milk, and we had come to the last portion of the last tin. We treasured it for days, looking forward to enjoying it on some great occasion as never an epicure looked forward to a bottle of rare wine. The moment came, we prepared the great drink with almost reverential care. And just as we were going to drink it, my wife shifted her position and spilled it. It would be hopeless to try to express the bitterness of our disappointment. Stay-a…

Such a Word should in fact be so potent that man cannot hear it and live. 1. See Part II.

…hing hitherto known; and, what is really more to the point, a control of external nature which will make the boasted achievements of the last century appear no more than childish preliminaries to an incomparably mighty manhood. It has been said by some that the Law of Thelema appeals only to the elite of humanity. No doubt there is this much in that assertion, that only the highest can take full advantage of the extraordinary opportunities which it offers. At the same time, "the Law is for all." Each in his degree, every man may learn to realis…

Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind nothing! Let there be no differ ence made among you between any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt. 23. But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all! 24.

Later—I can pocket the creature’s insolence at the price. It must have been on my mind. The first address I gave to the chauffeur was McCall’s. He looked shocked when I was announced. “‘My dear Lady Pendragon,” he almost shouted at me very fast. “I know you'll forgive me.

86 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS which she carried out her embassy; but at least we see today that Physical Science is at last penetrating to the spiritual basis of material phenomena. The work of Henry Poincare, Einstein, Whitehead, and Bertrand Russell is sufficient evidence of this fact. Christianity, too, has fallen into a lower degree of contempt than ever. Realising that it was moribund, it made a supreme and suicidal effort, and plunged into the death-spasm of the First World War. It was too far corrupt to react to the injections of the White for…

These proved to be the last factors in his problem which, thus completed, solved itself in a moment. (O.M. Chinese Frontier, 1905-6) 3.

Io Pan ! while the marmorean splen- dour before us turns with the last ray of sunlight his goodly smile upon our still and stricken bo- dies — the heap of the slain of Priapus — perinde ac cadaver — ah ! it is night, it is death. Alas ! it is not sunset ; here is no glade, but a noisy London square ; we cannot live, we must talk ; we cannot love, we must dissect. We know that these people are not the gracious children of God, but the evil and laborious gnomes of hell ; creat…

A help to your great Work, an aspect of your Will, nicht wahr? Go to it! Apollo is the God of Music, pre-eminently; but He is too all-comprehensive, all-pervading, to be much use in a Talisman except as a general background. But there are the Muses: Polymnia (or Polyhymnia) seems the one you want: she inspires the sublime hymn. How to invoke her is a matter

But 4 only discovered last month that £3000 of the amount did nut belong to me at all ; it was part of a fund of which I am trustee. I am not allowed by our foolish laws to invest trust funds in such securities as this Schneezugchemischerwerke of ours; and I must replace the £3000 by the end of the month, or the

The two last came close to the magical method; at least, to that branch of it which coconsists of "fooling all the people all the time." But such an operation, if true magick were employed, would be beyond the power of any magician of my acquaintance; for it would mess up the solar system completely. (You remember how this happened, and what came of it, in a rather clever short story by H.G. Wells.) For true Magick me…
