300 MAGICK WITHOUT. TEARS wann Spain rather than warm India? To the last question: Because Spain is nearer to his home. Then why is his home near Spain? Because his parents were Germans. And why did they go to Germany? And so during the whole meditation. On another day let him begin with a question of another kind and every day devise new questions, not concerning his present situation, but also abstract questions. Thus let him connect the prevalence of water upon the surface of the globe with its necessity to such life as we know with the spec…

…s we see therefore lies in the preponderance of the Nephesch over the Ruach, in other words, the Emotion outbalancing the Reason. In the last vision, No. 18, we find more exertion on the part of the Ruach than in any of the others, and this is un- doubtedly accounted for by the fact that P., in this vision, set out with a definite object before him, namely, to see Sappho. The same might be said of Vision No. 7, but on consideration this will be found not to be the case, for, in No. 7, P. asks for strength to help his cousin, the very asking of …

The crosses for the last thirty-six hours were crowded into a few spaces, leaving large empty gaps. In other words, the indulgence had become irregular. I stared at the chart as if it had been a ghost. Lamus turned his head and looked down at me over his shoulder with a queer grin. Then he uttered the extraordinary word: ‘ Kriegsptel.”’ I was completely taken aback. What in the name of thunder was the man talking about e And then…

… a “Babe of the Abyss” was born, Frater Achad asserting his right to that grade, and thus “coming after” The Beast 666, who had been the last Adept to do so.

…ble puissance; the man who is capable of so thinking and acting is far more likely to get what he wanted from the Sacrifice-when at long last the Camel appears on the premises-than he who, having ample means to carry out the whole Operation without risk of failure, goes through the ceremony without ever having experienced a moment's anxiety about his ability to bring it to a successful conclusion. I think personally that the error lies in calculating. The injunction is "to buy the egg of a perfectly black hen without

But we were no sooner started than the guide again lost whatever nerve he ever possessed. His employer had never been on a mountain before, but he had common sense and pluck; he behaved admirably in every respect; we half nursed and half chivvied that guide down that ridge. It was, of course, out of the question to follow the ridge, as I had just done, so that two or three…

…paper. When the others arrived, an excited argument began. There was no suggestion that I had acted improperly in any way. From first to last it was merely the feeling of foreigners against being bossed by an Englishman. The same thing had happened with Pfannl on Chogo Ri. On the present occasion, however, the Englishman was in a minority of one. Fortunately I had never heard that a fact of that sort makes any difference to an Englishman. I did my best to reason with them and quiet them, like the naughty children they were. Reymond had nothing …

Unfortunately he died shortly after the last War, and he had got out of touch with some of the other Grand Masters. The documents did not come to me as they should have done; they were seized by his wife who had an idea that she could sell them for a fantastic price; and we did not feel inclined to meet her views. I don't think the matter is of very great importance, the work being done by members of the Order all over the place is to me quite suffi…

… fed up with marvels. All subjects bore me alike after a short time; they cease to stimulate. I was thoroughly pleased to find myself at last in India. The psychological change from Ceylon is very sudden, startling and complete. What is there about an island which differentiates it so absolutely from the adjoining mainland? No amount of similarity of race, customs and culture gets rid of insularity. The moment one sets foot in India, one becomes aware of the stability of its civilization. I spent some weeks wandering through the southern provin…

He met her, I don’t know how, and asked her to pose for him. She told me once how startled she was at the reason he gave. ‘Did you write that psalm,’ he asked her, ‘*’ I can tell all my bones, they look and stare upon me?’”’’ You know the girl hasn’t got an ounce of flesh on her body.

It was imperative to move Raoul to proper surroundings and prevent his being disturbed and neglected by the tantrums of the termagant. We carried him into my own room and made him comfortable. Betty continued to conduct the concert in the absence of an audience, so she finally announced her intention to go. Both Raoul and Alostrael begged her to be sensible, but …

THE EQUINOX RITUAL OF THE 1° = 10° GRADE OF ZELATOR* The opening in this ritual is very similar to that in the last; the chief exception being that this grade is more particularly attributed to the element of “ earth.” The Temple having been declared open, the Hierophant says : “ Except Adonai build the House their labour is but lost that build it. Except Adonai keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain! Frater Neophyte, oe aye by what aid do you seek admission to im) Pp the 1°= 10° Grade of Zelator of the G.:.D.+.?” The Hegemon, answering…
