…d every gesture shot a pang of agony to her soul. She understood the ambiguities of her lover; his strange behaviour seemed like an open book to her; and the malice of Sister Cybele, her elfin laughter, her satanic sneer, sank into her bleeding heart like acid, burning, fuming. The revel did not diminish; instead, it took novel and more atrocious forms. All that she had ever conceived of sensuality of bestiality, was a thousandfold surpassed. It was an infinite refinement of abomination joined with an exaggeration of grossness that might have t…

They represent the next stage which is to be attained by man‐ kind, in which complete freedom is alike the cause and the result of the new access of solar energy upon the earth. The restriction of such ideas as sin and death in their old sense has been abolished, At their feet are the most sacred signs of the old Aeon, the combination of the Rose and Cross from which they are arisen, yet which still forms their support. The card itself symbolizes this…

… other. These ideas blend naturally with the higher and deeper significance of the card. There is a direct reference to this card in the Book of the Law. In Chapter I, verse 57, the goddess Nuith speaks: “Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will. Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God”.1 The dominating feature of this card is the Eye of Horus.…

…UINOX reader like Christiansen. Nor is it particularly encouraging to those who believe in him when they find him compelled to produce a book like this. It is very clev- erly compiled, most readable and amusing, but there seems to be no care to dis- criminate between well authenticated cases and evident inventions. The critical spirit is hopelessly undeveloped. In particular, I must protest against the pub- lishing of Mr. Machen’s excellent short story about the Angels of Mons with- out any reference to its author, as if there were one single p…

…rowing other people's spectacles was to put myself in the place altogether, either by actually adopting a suitable alias or by writing a book in their names. It is a common and legitimate literary device. When in Holland in '97, I had written a Christmas hymn in which the Nativity was treated realistically. I now found that Christian piety had taken away the entire poetic beauty of Bethlehem by declaring that the Virgin suffered no pain. (It is really astonishing how these idiots managed to remove any touch of sublimity from this stupid story!)…

…ed with His scribe so that they should fit in with that scribe’s private calculations. E. g. The Stélé which reveals the Theogony of the Book was cfficially numbered 666, in the Boulak Muséum. The scribe had adopted 666 as His magical number, many years previously. Again, the scribe’s magical House, bought years earlier, had a name whose value was 418. The scribe had calculated 418 as the clusion of an article callecl “The Revival of Magick” by the Master Therion. The last sentence reads: “Herein is Wisdom; let him that hath understanding count…

…mns. Sanine actually lives up to the truth which he sees, and it makes him free, and it makes free those who follow him. This is a great book to shed light upon the greybeard slobbering of Shaw. Violet’s baby is only tolerable because Violet is Mrs. Malone. Shaw has not the strength of character to avow (even in a ficti- tious work) that a woman can assert what is evidently her first right without undergoing phantastic penalties, although there are to-day thousands of women in every country who have told morality to go to its father, the devil,…

…n. It is sufficient if I reiterate the unanim ous opinion of com petent scholars, that there is no fragment of evidence in any canonical book sufficient to establish such interpretations in the teeth of Buddhist tradition and practice ; a nd t hat a ny p erson who persists in tuning Buddhism to his own Jew’s harp in this w ay is risking his reputation, e ither f or scholar-ship or good faith. Scientific men are common enough in the West, if Buddhists are not; and I may safely leave in their h ands the task of castigating the sneak-thieves o f t…

…he end prevail over the man-made illusions of mythology and metaphysics.” I am perfectly in accord with the political conclusion of this book. He was doubtless paid to write it in this interest. However, I had no idea that Mr. Wil- liam Archer was such an unpleasant thing. The publisher says that he was born at Perth, Scotland. Perhaps, he was one of the famous “twin brothers of Perth, who were—ready to exhibit a positive Wassermann—to the eyes from their birth.

I approached him, and said: “Why writest thou, Father?” and he replied “That those who read may live.” (I seem to have asked him an- other question, but cannot remember what.) Then I said: “What writest thou, Father?” And he replied: “Death, always Death.” And I said: “Show me thy writing, Father” and looking he wrote the word HARTHA. And I said “This is a mystery to me” so he pointed to it letter by let…
