Magick Without Tears

…be not ever unto me; then expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit! This shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister, my heart & my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss . .. . But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me! ... Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices; ye shall wear rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of the earth in splendour & pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. There is a veil, that veil is black. It is th(, veil of the modest woman; it is the veil of s…

…selves to reduce the pulse-beat both in rate and in volume; so much so that they have sometimes been credited with the power to stop the heart altogether at will. Neschamah is an entirely different proposition. One of Tiphareth's prime assets is the influence, through the path of "The Lovers'," from Binah. The son's milk from the Great Mother. (From his Father , Chiah, Chokmah , he inherits the infinite possibilities of Nuit, through the path of He, "The Star"; and from his "God," Kether, the Divine Consciousness, the direct inspiration, guidan…

Not I, said the expert, you would not get up for three days and more : such is the pleasure. This made her only the keener, and when he saw that she would cry a rape unless he consented — “ and you must see, darling, how necessary it is for anyone in my posi- tion to be able to do that at any moment — the witnesses are all ready, and you would not stand a chance ! ” — …

…ond belief. Yet Edward Crowley regarded Philip Gosse as likely to be damned for latitudinariansm! No one who loved the Lord Jesus in his heart could be so careless of his Saviour's honour as to "break bread"1 with a man who might be holding unscriptural opinions. Readers of Father and Son will remember the incident of the Christmas turkey, secretly bought by Mr. Gosse's servants and thrown into the dustbin by him in the spirit of Moses destroying the golden calf. For the Brethren rightly held Christmas to be a pagan festival. They sent no Chris…

And the dearest spot therein shall be the shrine of his temple. It is most convenient if this shrine and altar should be sequestered in woods, or in a private grove, or garden.

When I say "I see a horse," the truth is that "I record in those terms my private hieroglyphic interpretation of the unknown and unknowable phenomenon (or 'point-event') which has more or less recently taken place at the other end of my system of receiving impressions."

…almost before the words were out of our mouths, a sly smile crept over Lou’s loveliness and kindled the same subtly secret delight in my heart. _ She offered me a pinch of heroin with the air of communicating some exquisitely esoteric sacrament; and I accepted it and measured her a similar dose on my own hand as if some dim delirious desire devoured us. We took it not because we needed it ; but because the act of consummation was, so to speak, an act of religion. It was the very fact that it was not an act of necessity which made it an act of p…
