… received this last Initiation, this destruction of the opposition between One and the Many, he descended from the mountain, and awaited nightfall. The nature of the Initiation itself—its climax and comple- tion—can only be given in the sublime words of the Angel of the A&thyr itself. We therefore quote it in full— The Angel reappears.

His voice comes in a whisper: O thou…

…he canopy is supported by eight pillars of amber. These pillars are upright, and yet the canopy which they support is the whole vault of night. The charioteer is a man in golden armour, studded with sapphires, but over his shoulders is a white robe, and over that a red robe. Upon his golden helmet he beareth for his crest a crab. His hands are clasped upon a cup, from which radiates a ruddy glow, constantly increasing, so that every- thing is blotted out by its glory, and the whole Aire is filled with it. And there is a marvellous perfume in th…

And this is the mystery of Dionysus Zagreus, that is celebrated upon the holy mountain of Kithairon. And this is the secret of the brothers of the Rosy Cross; and this is the heart of the ritual that is accomplished in the Vault of the Adepts that is hidden in the Mountain of the Caverns, even the Holy Mountain Abiegnus. And this is the meaning of the Supper of the Passover, the spil…

…vented a great deal of copulation which would otherwise take place. There is a great gulf fixed between the ‘ short time ’ and the ‘ all night ’, and that great gulf is filled with Condy’s Fluid ! This applies equally to Sodomy. If the semen is safely bestowed in mouth or anus of the beloved one, the temptation is to begin all over again ; bar the trifle of fatigue, one is in the same position as at first ; its loss between the legs or in the hand rouses a sentiment of dis- gust2 which is fatal to passion. Even the mouth, like the vagina, remai…

… am, in whom ye are, were ye only alive with the life that abideth in Light.” All this time I have been fading away. I sink. The veil of night comes down a dull blue-gray with one pentagram in the midst of it, watery and dull. And I am to abide there for a while before I come back to the earth. (But shut me the window up, hide me from the sun. Oh, shut the window! *) Now, the pentagram is faded; black crosses fill the Aethyr gradually growing and interlacing, until there is a network.

We get the insomnia and those things all mght, but we can’t get any fun out of it. We've tried all sorts of dodges. It’s no good. Being with it simply dulls the pain of being without.

I remember debating whether I was in fact awake or not, whether the noise, which was horribly persistent, might not be part of a dream evoked by the events of the day. I even called to Rose to resolve my doubts. She did not answer. I lighted the candle. She was not there. My alarm completed my awakening. The bat squealed hideously. I looked up. I could not see any bat. But t…

And all day and all night, awake or asleep, shall thy heart be turned as a lotus-flower unto the light. And thy body shall be the temple of the Rosy Cross. Thus shall thy mind be open unto the higher; and then shalt thou be able to conquer the exhaustion, and it may be find the words—for who shall look upon His face and live?
