New Testaments from your pockets, you will find in the fourth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles and the thirty-second verse : And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul ; and not one of them said that aught of the things that he possessed was his own, but that they had all things in common. Of course one of them, and he too was a Jew, tried to hold out on the kitty, and was struck miraculously dead for his pains. Lenin and Trotsky never did as well ! So, as Roman Catholics are always telling us, the Church has a mon…

…be the strength of its glory. He that lives long and desires death much is ever the King among the Kings. Fear not at all : fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries : though with fire and sword it be burnt down and shattered, yet an invisible house there standeth, and shall stand until the fall of the Great Equinox.

THE EQUINOX meteorites they seemingly come from nowhere, splash like falling stars through the firmament of our meditation, sparkle and are gone; but ever coming as a distraction to hamper and harass our onward march. Once the mind has conquered these, a fresh difficulty arises, the danger of not being strong enough to overcome the occult powers which, though the reward of our toils, are liable, like the Queen in her bedchamber, to seduce the Con- queror in spite of his having conquered the King her husband, and secretly slay him as he sleeps i…

… of an uncontrol- lable paranoia, to use a somewhat discredited but useful term. Why, in short, (quoth Mr. Moses Monometallist) loving women as you do, sir, do you go to boys and men ? Is it only for variety ? If not, in what does the charm consist ? I will enumerate the conditions, and that cheer- fully, since it will incidentally enable me to justify that very remarkable phrase used above, the spiri- tuality of Sodomy. A woman can afford two pleasures to a man, which a boy cannot : namely : (1) the pleasure of the cunnilinge. (2) common copul…

Alas! when once thou hast become like the fix’d star in highest heaven, that bright celestial orb must shine from out the spatial depths for all—save for itself; give light to all, but take from none. It is incomparably annoying to see this word “Alas!” at the head of this verse as a pure oxymoron with the rest of the text. Is stupid, unseeing selfishness so firmly fixed in the nature of man that even…

And if I turn aside, even for a moment, I pray Thee, warn me by some signal chastisement, that Thou art a jealous god, and that Thou wilt keep me veiled, cherished, guarded in Thine harem a pure and perfect spouse, like a slender fountain playing in Thy courts of marble and of malachite, of jasper, of topaz, and…

THE EQUINOX ment of this grade. In all previous grades the nature of the Initiation has been light through darkness. In this it is dark- ness through light. The word of the Adept was L V X, Light. The word of the Master of the Temple is N O X, Night. This isthe Night of Pan. The direction of the Path is definitely changed. The Master of the Temple cannot go to the Magus unless bringing the Neophyte himself in his hand, and in this task there is no consolation, as there has always been before. The visions are no more.

Phrenology, psychology, chiromancy, the observation of tastes and of movement, of the sound of the voice and of either sympathetic or antipathetic impres- sions, are branches of this art, and the ancients were not ignorant of them.

It seemed to me as if some mystic state were su- per-added to the torment; for while he was not, em- phatically not, this tortured mass of consciousness, yet that was he. There are always at least two of us! The one who feels and the one who knows are not radically one person. This double personality is enormously ac- centuated at death. Another point was that the time-sense, which with men is usually so reliableespecially in my own case was decidedly deranged, if not abrogat…
