The Grade of Master of the Temple is described in Liber 418 as above indicated. There are full accounts in the Magical Diaries of the Beast 666, who was cast forth into the Heaven of Jupiter, and of Omnia in Uno, Unus in Omnibus, who was cast forth into the sphere of the Eléments. The essential Attainment is the perfect annihilation of that personality which limits and oppresses his true self. The …

…n German beer-mugs (I have never drunk beer in my life) and in friezes on the walls of a Conditorei. I hailed them cheerfully-at first I thought they were some of the local nobility and gentry of a type I had not yet encountered; but they took no notice, just went on playing about. They were still at it when I reached my cousin, sheltering behind some boulders at the foot of the slope; and I saw no more of them. I saw them as plainly as I ever saw anything; there was nothing ghostly or semi-transparent about them . A curious point is that I att…

Cf. “Who am I?”—“Thou knowest” in Chapter I. I am far from satisfied with the above interpretation of this verse. We shall see a little later, verses 27 sqq., a general objection to “Because” and “why”. Then how is it that Hadit does not dis dain to use those terms? It must be for the sake of my mind. Then, “for why” is detestably vulgar; and no straining of grammar excuses or e…

2 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS Mysticism in general, especially my integration of the various thought-systems of the world, notably the identification of the system of the Yi King with that of the Qabalah. But I do assure you that the whole of my life's work, were it multiplied a thousand fold, would not be worth one tithe of the value of a single verse of The Book of the Law. I think you should have a copy of The Equinox of the Gods and make The Book of the Law your constant study. Such value as my own work may possess for you should amount to no more…

I said: "See, dear people, on every church steeple an imp of the devil at play, See ghouls cut their capers in daily newspapers and fiends in police courts hold sway; The mountains are palaces, women are chalices meant to be supped and not sold, The desert a banquet hall set for a festival, ripe for the free and the bold; The wind and the sky are ours, heaven and all its stars…
