Edward Jam es

The appearance of this important work should serve to

awaken renewed, and intelligent interest in the often dis-
cussed area of sexual magic in the Western tradition. On a
more technical note, it reveals a clear relationship between
Randolph's works and the writings of Franz Bardon. Fluid
and solid condensers, flashing colors, and a com pit k ust
of magical mirrors were seldom, if ever, mentioned in
occult literature in the eighty or more years dividing the
two writers.
It is also of interest to note the possible relationship
between PBR, as he was known to his friends, and the
emergence of the O.T.O., O.T.O.A., and lesser known magi-
cal orders, having Templar and Masonic involvements.
John Yarker, a British Masonic leader, who held numerous
documents giving him the authorization to grant charters
for a number of Hermetic, Masonic and Templar type
lodges, granted a charter for the formation of a Templar
Order to Karl Kellner, about the year 1887. Occult historian
Francis King believed that these charters came into Yarker's
hands through the United States from France.
The America - England connection can easily be ex-
plained when weconsider the fact that PBR traveled fre-
quently between the U.S., France, and England. He, in fact,
by 1870, had established the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor
in both England and Europe, along with a small circle of
initiates in France who practiced almost exclusively his
socio-sexual dictates for magical living as indicated in his
work Eulis and other instructional novels. The German

the Brotherhood of Eulis, or the Hermetic
were members of
Luxor, during the period embracing the
Brotherhood of
Civil war. In England and Europe, Francois Dumas (son of

author Alexander Dumas), Eliphas Levi, Kenneth Macken-

Hargrave Jennings were considered students of his
zie and
teachings. It is held that Madame Blavatsky was a member
of his Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor but later became a

life-long antagonist of PBR over the issue of secrecy in the

presentation of occult truths to the masses.
It is believed that a document giving in a practical form

much of PBR's sexual practices was in circulation among

the German magical circles as early as 1868. These prac-
tices were most likely passed to Karl Kellner in 1895 when
he received a charter to form the O.T.O. In 1912, after the
death of Kellner, Theodor Reuss assumed leadership of the
Order, but it is unclear

 Foreword

Robert North

The circumstances of my translation and study of Sexual

Magic have been rather unusual and so I will attempt to
recount them as accurately as possible.
In the summer of 1987, I was living in the city of
Providence, Rhode Island; that demon-haunted metropolis
favored by Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft in earlier
times. Years before, I had heard rumors of the magical
teachings of P.B. Randolph. But the only evidence that I
had been able to discover was a 1939 reprint of Ravalctti
This proved to be a rather slow novel, in the florid style of
the nineteenth century, with a long, elaborate introduction
by a seemingly right-wing Christian occultist of doubtful
literary talents and even more doubtful perceptions. Conse-
quently, I left Randolph for the more stimulating company
of Aleister Crowley and Franz Bardon.
By the summer of 1987, I considered myself well versed
in the western magical tradition. Some twenty years of
continuous study of Agrippa, Dee, Levi, the Golden Dawn,
the O.T.O., Bardon, A.O. Spare, Gardner, Voudoun, and
Tantra had led me to believe that I had attained to a real
understanding of Magick.
It was summer and time for a vacation. Montreal, Can-

ada was suggested and it seemed like a good idea. Our

journey to Montreal was wonderful, stopping to mint
Herkimer "diamonds" (quartz crystals) only a few miles
from the original site of the Oneida Commune and passing
through Garnet Hill in the Adirondacks, where abandoned
garnet mines still yielded a few glistening treasures.
On arriving in Montreal, I attempted to contact several
addresses of "magickal" persons that I had obtained ten

but we examined the premises and found it to be a veritable

This was the beginning of an initiatory experience of
which I cannot give many details, but suffice it to say that
a certainbook was delivered into my hands.
This book was, of course, Magia Sexualis by Pascal

terious. I met many brothers on the magical path. Some
were secretive and seemingly uncooperative. Yet others
were cordial and marvelously helpful. Most of all, it seemed
as if Randolph's spirit was continually present, both guid-
ing and restraining.
Perhaps the greatest mystery of the book was the lan-
guage that it was written in. The printed edition that I had
was published by Guy Le Prat of Paris. It purported to be a
French translation by a certain Maria
de Naglowska of an
English original by Randolph.
However, repeated letters to
the publisher and translator
resulted only in a terse re-
sponse that they possessed

Another interesting discovery was a definite change of style
in the section on Magnetic Mirrors. The commonly used
expressions are different and the Mirrors section speaks in
metric terms of millimeters rather than the inches and feet
that are dealt with in the earlier three sections. Moreover,
the narrator speaks of New York and then speaks of things
also happening "in this country" (France?) in Chapter XIX,
tenth page.
On completing my translation, I could not help but
conclude that I was translating the French of PBR! It is not
inconceivable that he would have written of the "forbidden"
subjects of sex and drugs in French to confound his Ameri-
can detractors. In fact, I am led to theorize that Randolph
wrote the first three sections in French while in America.
The final section on Magnetic Mirrors must have been a
lecture given in Paris, hence the change in style.
Furthermore, I must conclude that one person in 1981
could not have translated this book from English into
French. The changes in style, the puns and the literary style
render this highly unlikely. While I cannot offer absolute
proof for my theories, I feel that I am justified in my
suspicions.
So,once again, mystery surrounds the image of Pascal
Beverly Randolph. Perhaps it should be so. For if the magi-
cian seeks to become the microcosm of life, of that great
macrocosm of all manifestation, should he not be clothed
in mystery?

 Introduction to the
and Work of
Life
Pascal Beverly Randolph

Of the magicians, philosophers and poets of the nine-

all

teenth century, there can be no more mysterious figure

than Pascal Beverly Randolph. He was famous in his own
time for his novels and his theoretical treatises in pioneer
areas of medicineand psychology. He numbered among his
friends such persons as Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon III,
Eliphas Levi, Lord Bulwer-Lytton, Charles Mackay and
other notables of the day.
Yet, he veiled himself in such impenetrable secrecy, that
almost nothing about him can be stated as fact. A wealth
of myth and legend surrounds this intriguing man, whose
personal life was so complex and habits so secretive, that
we may only guess at the story of his career. Randolph
published over twenty books in his lifetime and speaks of
his life in many of them. But almost everything he wrote
was coded in such a way that it could be understood on
several levels.
If had a theme, it was Love. His personal
Pascal's life
motto was "Try" and he signed at least one of his photo-
graphs "Stand for the Right! " He was an advocate of women's
rights long before it was a popular stance and he was a real

pioneer in sexual therapy. He held a strong belief in super-

natural forces and was outspoken in his desire to investi-

gate such things scientifically.

Yet throughout his life, PBR was persecuted for his
progressive thinking as well as for his mixed racial heritage.

Pascal Beverly Randolph was born on October 8, 1825

at #70 Canal Street in New York City to Flora Beverly and
Edmund Randolph. It

dagascar or a native American from Vermont. Whatever the
truth of the matter, her marriage with Randolph was short

Sexual Magic

It must have been a hard life for a parentless child in

1830's New
England. In 1837, at the age of twelve, Ran-
dolph shipped aboard the brig "Phoebe" in New Bedford as
10
a cabin boy. This was the beginning of a life at sea that
lasted for eight years —
a period that Randolph would
remember as miserable and painful.
But the life of a sailor is an education in many things,
and when PBR finally came ashore, he was a wiser and
stronger man for his experience. During his time at sea,
he was bullied and no doubt teased about his mixed blood.
His health often suffered, yet he was not beyond playing a
prank or two himself on his shipmates, such as substituting
a laxative for a prized bottle of rum or spilling hot grease
11
on his tormentors.
At sea, he heard many tales of the supernatural during
the long watches and his interest in things occult was
firmly established. Sea duty took him all over the world
and Randolph learned bits of many languages, even becom-
ing fluent in French. It was a brutal, but international
education.
Finally, at twenty, PBR injured himself in awood chop-
ping 12
accident and found himself unable to work aboard
ship. He came ashore once and for all and, as many sailors
have done, wandered aimlessly for several years, seeking
his true path.
The year Randolph came ashore, 1848, was the time
that
of the famous Hydesville rappings, which gave birth to the
nineteenth century phenomena of Spiritualism. In Hydesville,
New York, three sisters named Fox claimed to be in com-
munication with the spirits of the dead. It was widely
publicized and soon the possibility of communication with
the dead became one of the most widely discussed topics
of the day.
Randolph, like many of his contemporaries, was fasci-
nated with the subject and studied it intensely. He also
studied the doctrines of a Viennese doctor, Franz Anton
Mesmer. This was the study of animal magnetism, or
mesmerism, which involved making magnetic passes with
the hands around the patient's body and the use of a large

On his return to Boston, PBR offered his services to tin
d US government and raised a regiment of Black Union
soldiers, known as the Fremont Legion. Presumably in
reward for this action, President Lincoln sent him to Lou
isiana, where he was later appointed Principal of the Lin-
s coln Memorial High Grade and Normal School, a school
21
for freed slaves. During this time, Randolph witnessed
d and studied the "Rites of the Black Voudeux" 22 .

In July 1866, PBR returned to the Northern States to raist

mon y for his school. He lectured throughout New England
and made a bid for a career in politics at the Philadelphia
Convention of Southern Loyalists. But it seems that even
the post-war North was not ready for this politician of

Randolph's method of attaining spiritual knowledge was
known as the sleep of Sialam, or shiloam. Shiloam, from
the Hebrew Shiloah (literally, sending forth), was a spring
outside Jerusalem mentioned in the Bible (John IX. 7). 24
Randolph would fall into a trance and experience visions.
This method was probably developed during his spiritualis-
tic period, although he referred to it as a Tibetan method.

During his journeys to Paris, Pascal became aware of

several works which were being published in France and
Germany dealing with the Ansaireth or Nusairis of Syria. 25
There was much discussion, in the Rosicrucian circles that
Randolph traveled in, of the purity and sublimity of the

Karl
tion, however, whether these initiations took place
to qu.
on the physical or the mental plane.
The following is quoted from one of Randolph last

books, Eulis. It is highly significant as the confession ot a

man, believing himself to be at death's door, concerning

the origins of his teachings.

grand Master of the only Temple of the Order on the globe
or in the Ansairetic works, English, German, Synac or

If we
consider that Randolph's Rosicrucian and Ansaire-
tic teachings form the basis of modern magical tradition
and that they were written some twenty-five years before
the founding of the Golden Dawn, his death bed confession
may be seen as the key to the origin of modern magic!
Whatever his contacts on the inner planes were, we do
know that he founded a society on the physical plane in
Boston in the year 1870. Its headquarters were in his offices
on Boylston Street and its name was the Brotherhood of
Eulis. Its members included several other doctors who
wished to investigate the supernatural in a scientific man-
29
ner. They utilized sex and consciousness altering drugs
and for this reason kept their teachings secret.
Rumors and gossip of nefarious doings spread, however,
and Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, later to found the Theo-
sophical Society, denounced PBR, accusing him of having
30
betrayed the Sacred Traditions. An occult war between
the two followed. Blavatsky championed the "moral" spiri-
tualist cause while Randolph maintained the need to scien-
tifically investigate the mysteries of sex and magic.
Then, in 1872, disaster struck. On a tip from his enemies,
his "Rosicrucian Rooms" on Boylston Street were searched
by the Boston Police and he was arrested for distributing
"free love" literature. During a brief stay in the Boston jail,
he was persuaded to assign many of his copyrights to some
ne'er do well opportunists. At his subsequent trial, he
would be found not guilty of the charges, but his troubles
31
were just beginning
The Great Boston Fire devastated the city, completely
32
destroying Randolph's offices. His laboratory was de-
stroyed, the plates of his books were destroyed, nothing
was left. He was denounced as a libertine by the spiritual-
ists and his friends began to turn their backs on him. One
acquaintance invited him to stay with him after the Boston
33
fire, only to extort money from him. In another instance,

but there can be little doubt that his world was crumbling
around him.
Randolph finally found sanctuary
Penniless and outcast,
in Toledo, Ohio. He was a broken man. In May, 1873, he
35 view
suffered a railroad injury and began to death as

imminent. He had lived at the pinnacle of success and now

existed in the depth of despair.
However, one bright spot was still to touch his life. He
was to meet and fall in love with a young girl. She may
well have been active in women's rights for by September,
Randolph writes, "I attended a convention of Ultra Radicals
36
in Chicago, led by a noted agitatress ." PBR had always
. .

been a supporter of women's rights, maintaining that if

there was a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals,
there should be an organization to protect the rights of
battered wives.
Randolph and his love were married in Toledo and in
1874 they welcomed Osiris Budh, into the world
Randolph continued to publish books from Toledo and to
promote the Brotherhood of Eulis, but he could never regain
the grandeur of his life in Paris and Boston.
Finally, on July 29, 1875, he shot himself through the
head with his revolver. 37 His followers claimed that the
curses and black magic of H.P. Blavatsky had finally taken
their toll. It is interesting to note that Blavatsky founded
the Theosophical Society in the same
year.
There was a later book published in 1878."Beyond the
Veil" was channeled from beyond
the grave by two ladies
from Toledo, F.H. MacDougall and
Luna Hutchinson, but

likely that, in an effort to "whitewash" his memory, they

concealed all teachings relating to sex or drugs, emphasiz-

headquarters at "Beverly Hall" in Quakertown, Pennsylva-
nia. He also published a book, The Rosicrucian Fraternity
in America
40
which ironically attacks a German group
known as the O.T.O. for practicing sex magic and praises
PBR for his pure teachings. Karl Kellner, the founder of

O.T.O. seems
, to have derived many of the O.T.O. teach-
ings directly from Randolph's instructions for the Brother-
hood of Eulis.
Randolph's magical teachings have influenced a great

many practitioners of the magical art, but usually in an

occult, invisible manner.
The writings of Franz Bardon have become quite popular.
Bardon was a close friend of Wilhelm (Rah Omir) Quintscher,
41
with whom, in fact, he was imprisoned by the Nazis.
Quintscher had been a member of an offshoot of the O.T.O.
known as the Fraternitas Saturni, lead by Eugen Grosche.
Quintscher had reached the eighth degree grade of Gradus
Mercurii but quarreled with Grosche and resigned. It is

interesting to note that the second, third, and fourth de-

42
grees use the word "Scholar" in their title. Readers of

Bardon's work will be familiar with the frequent use of

that term by him. Any perusal of PBR's Sexual Magic and

Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics will reveal a great many
similarities.

The Brotherhood of Eulis wants to make each one of its

students an independent individual; this is why it allows

them to work freely towards their perfection, only giving
a general method and some good counsel, based on experi-
ence. When the Brotherhood delivers a book of instruction
to one of its students,does not know if he will under-
it

stand its doctrines. The book is not like a road traced on a

map. The student must, by himself, sight the star of his
ship and guide it on its proper course towards the shore
where the sun shines.
The student, who accepts our directives and understands
the exercises of " Volantia, " "Decretism, " and "Posism," aided
by the materials which facilitate this work, possesses the
keys for the acquisition of a force that brings, depending
on the case, benediction or damnation, with the swiftness
of the Lightning Flash. This force is similar to that which
furiously unchains the
elements of nature, but the initiate,
warned and wise, becomes the triumphant master.

The beings who inhabit them know the Greater Myster-
ies, and they proclaim that the veritable power of the Spirit

is acquired through the path of the sexual force, because

these two elements are complimentary, one to the other.

But one cannot establish rapport with these beings by

the methods of the spiritualist circles, nor by the system
of Mesmerism, and mere intellectual study is not enough.
Only the Sialam exaltation (a Tibetan method) allows
us to evoke these images in the medium of the Magic
Mirror, whether they are superhuman spirits, intelligences /

wisdoms or energies. They are called the Neriades and the

philosophy they teach is entitled "The philosophy of Eulis."
We, the members of the Brotherhood of Eulis, believe in
the Deity, in recognition of His omniscience and omnipo-
tence and we believe, also, that man was created in His
image. We believe in Nature, who is, for us, the manifesta-
tion of the Supreme Intelligence and we proclaim that the
 Sexual Magic 9

Deity resides everywhere and in each of us. And in contem-

plating Nature in her multiple and diverse manifestations,
colored by our personal experience, and in being guided by
the wisdom that we have revealed, we affirm that sexuality

is the principle and fundamental force in all being, the force

of the greatest
power of Nature, the most characteristic

witness of the Deity.

 CHAPTER III

The Polarization

the Sexes

The mysteries, treated of in this work, bear the name of The

Mysteries of Eulis and The Ansairetic Mysteries. The Mys-
teries of Eulis contain the theory based on the supreme
laws, which places before us the science of the upper
spheres, while that of The Ansairetic Mysteries is the

application in the material sphere.

The putting into practice of the elemental theories, envi-

sioned in the mysteries of Eulis, find their key in the

rigorous and universal law of polarization that is the funda-

mental basis underlying the ingenious structure of the

doctrine of Eulis.
In effect, the entire universe, all living beings, without
the least exception, are ruled by the principle of two con-
trary forces, exercising,one or the other, a power of inescap-
able attraction. One calls the forces positive and negative,
and one rediscovers them in good and bad, emission and
reception, life and death, idea and action, man and woman
(positive and negative magnetic poles) in the material plane
and, conversely, the woman (active pole) and man (negative
pole) in the mental plane. In the science of the mysteries
that we teach, just as in nature, the female attracts the
male, so we can attract to ourselves the desired form by
creating the negative in order to attract the contrary, the
positive!
This is the principle basis of all magic, no law is superior
to it; and it permits us to accomplish operations in two

energy, the union of two contrary poles: negative and posi-

tive. But, in the union of man and woman, the contact is

established not only in the physical plane, but in the

mental plane, where the law of Hermes is affirmed: "That
which is below is like that which is above."
Therefore, while the phallus of the man is positively
polarized and the kteis of the woman is negatively polar-
ized, the head of the man, the organ of his mental manifes-
tations to the contrary,
is, negative and magnetic for rap-
port with the head of the woman which is positive and
electric. This explains why the man, preoccupied with
initiative concerning the physical manifestations of love,
awaits, to the contrary, the invitation of the woman (her
feelings and her mental passion], to climb the ladder of
union in the upper planes.

 CHAPTER IV

The Magic Chain

and
the Gods

The arcane truths treated of in the preceding chapter are

reunited under the title "Mahi Kaligua," that is to say the
science of the ancient age, in recognition that the genera-
tions before us had superior knowledge and culture. We
dare to affirm that, because we have received them by
tradition and because we find a testimony to them in the
fabulous monuments erected in honor to the gods of an-
cient Egypt; in the slender lines of the obelisks that are
dressed under the blue sky with the fertile phallus of the
black plains.
This testimony we teach: that the sacred law of love
regulates not only the earth, but the entire universe. We
rediscover this revelation in Asia, in the sculptured images
of the gods, with arms reaching to the sky to consecrate
or to terrify, to witness the truth of our doctrine and to
symbolize the power of the holy liaisons of love.
Moreover, it is said, that phallic truth is at the basis of
all the rituals of secret societies and the sacred art and holy

scriptures of all nations in showing forth the mystery to

those who can understand by reading them. The Hiero-
phants of ancient Egypt knew the suggestive force of art,
this is why them had it inserted in the religion and imposed
it on the sculptors and painters, making strict laws and
modes of artistic expression. It was a blessing for humanity
when, impregnated with certain truths, thanks to the im-
ages and prayers constantly seen and experienced, the be-

sexual couplings. And in this fashion, utilizing the creative

energy of all the couples, the Hierophants could people the

phere with divinities and demi-urges, sustained more-
over by the vital power of the imagination of the commu-
nity. The astral collective of people, therefore, creates power.
When unceasingly, by bringing
love, divine force, creates
together the positive atom with the negative atom, it is
nourished by the mystical exaltation or from the fear of the
masses prostrated before the altar; and the latter becomes
through the generations, the vessel in which we gather the
forces. This brings, according to the will which ordains it,
good or bad, the light or the shadow, life or destruction.
Love is the only universal law, that rules infinite space and

And a people who live with these practical nuptials are

 The
Principles
 CHAPTER V
Volantia

Every student, who wishes to penetrate the mysteries of

Eulis and the Ansairetic mysteries must, from the begin-
ning and in all circumstances, learn from his master in
order to advance on the path of wisdom, thereby becoming
a master and not a slave. It is necessary to seek, moreover,
to constantly expand his intellectual horizons and his forces
of individual action: the mental forces, the magnetic forces,
the psychic forces.
The student must learn to exercise his diverse capacities
and his will in a calm fashion and without nervous exhaus-
tion. This is that which we call "Volantia." We find it in
the example of the irresistible force of the thunderbolt that
breaks and burns but never tires. The student must develop
for himself this elemental force— Volantia—which is pas-
sive when it obeys the order of the intellect, self disci-

plined, exempt of all emotion.

This force must be developed and fortified by a mechani-
cal procedure in order that some emotion does not come
to influence the student at the heart of the exercise, which
must be practiced every day.
One hangs a white disc on the wall, which is black at
the center. One stares at the black center of the disc for

60 seconds, remaining perfectly motionless. This fortifies

the capacity for concentration in the student and also his

attention. When the prescribed minute elapses, one turns

the face — without changing the position of the eyes
towards a white surface, on which the optical illusion
we see is the same disc, but the colors are reversed, the
background is black with the center being white.
The illusory vision disappears after a few seconds, and
is repeated again if one persists without moving. One must

fear, it is a sign of feebleness. Strong souls can and must

For a thirty day period of exercise, we prepare the discs

in the following manner: we drive three nails into the

of the disc, at the distance of one inch the
other. The the second of
first nail is of zinc, copper, the
third of iron. One wraps the nails with a wire of copper or
zinc, which one holds by its extremities in the right hand.

still.

which consolidates the attention and favors the quality of
concentration, and it is rendered more positive. It is neces-
sary to repeat this exercise during a period of three to eight
months before trying to operate with metaphysical objects.

Posism

The third principle of power that is to be developed in the

adepts of our doctrines is "Posism/' that which is called the
realization of the receptive state which emits, by means
of the precise position of the body and its determined
zodiacal orientation, accompanied by a propitious state of
idea and sentiment. This is, then, the science of the magic
of gesture. very difficult to acquire, but it gives results
It is

that are of great importance.

To obtain this power, it is indispensable to first develop
the attention and the capacities of concentration and ab-
straction, just as with Volantia and Decretism, as has been
shown in the preceding chapters.
An adept, expert in Posism, who wishes to give or receive
an attacking blow, a kiss or a caress, should place his body
in a determined position and give the necessary facial
expression by means of the nostrils and the mouth, as an
actor in a scene. He
seeks his spirit with total preoccupa-
tion and imagination, separated from his goal, and waiting
for the willed realization that accomplishes that goal by
virtue of the law that is realized through the higher planes
— metaphysical, mental and etheric —
which, all being
one, reproduces equally on the physical plane and vice
versa.
should be understood that the difficulty of this exercise
It

consists primarily in total concentration on the single willed

effect. It is characteristic of the habitual human state of
mind to experience the simultaneous convergence of many
diverse thoughts. This is why, in certain lodges, the stu-
dents must exercise posism for years before being allowed
to give proof of their capacities in
this sense.

22
 Sexual Magic ^3

To exercise Posism, it is necessary to conform to the

following rules:

1. Choose, for the exercise, once and for all, a quiet room
where no one of the mundane world comes and where
strangers may never penetrate.

2. Study before a mirror the position and the expression

that is the most suitable for the emission or the recep-
tion of a willed idea.

3. Devote, at not more than five minutes to the

first,

exercise of Posism, in order to avoid bad habits that can

provoke fatigue from excessive effort. One month later,

a minute more is sufficient. Always exercise at the

same time of the day.
4. For when an idea is to be "posed," that is to say it will
be realized after the pose, it is decreed by the most high
that it is necessary to guard it during a second of respite,
at which time it must be in harmony with your mental

being.

Of course, this cannot be productive in the course of

the first days exercise. Often, even many weeks are
insufficient; but, persevering, one attains it with cer-
tainty. When the desired result is attained, that is to say
when the idea which you pose is in harmony with your
mental being and is, therefore, realized, its result is a
concrete materialization, obtained instantly and known
infallibly by the posist.
This is difficult to explain to the profane, for them,
these sensations are customarily recognized in the men-
tal sphere. The poet always knows something of it, for

this sensation resembles that which is the heartfelt life

of the poet: imaginary landscapes and persons. But, it

is not necessary to know in advance what this sensation

is: persevere and you will know.

5- The principle poses that must be studied are the

foil owing:

APFor Passive Acceptance Kneel; — sit on your

heels, bend the arms in a right angle, placing the
24 P. B. Randolph

elbows at the sides; bring the forearms up slowly

without moving the elbows, until the back of the
hands face your shoulders. The fingers must be grace-
fully rounded, so that the tips are all the same angle.
Shift the torso backwards a little and rest immobile;
take greatest care in observing all these general indica-
tions.

Pose of the Active Passions —

Crouch on the
ground, leaning slightly forward. Extend your arms,
gracefully bending the elbows and imitating the claws
of the eagle with your hands, palms turned forward.
With this exercise, you may choose the sentiment of
anger first, personal with a chosen subject and then,
;

finally, abstract anger without subject.

These exercises should be studied separately for a
period of at least one month, at the end of this series
of exercises, one acquires the quality of pure
rage and
learns how it resembles the nature of a
storm. This
knowledge is very important for the occultist who
seeks to penetrate the essence of the
cosmic elements
in order to discover the law and life of human exis-
tence.
Next, one repeats these same
exercises to know the
essence of abstract goodness
(which has nothing in
common with our charity and is more
difficult to
earn. After that, one
tries to penetrate the truth of
love. When one knows
all of these things one tries,
according to the same
method, to understand justice.

the an-
cient wisdom of Africa and Asia to deliver
the real
knowledge of this.

Emission
C) For Active —
Sit on the ground,
legs
crossed under your haunches, extend the arms in
front
the palms turned towards the earth. From your
shonl
ders to your fingertips, your arms must be straight.
D! For Passive Emission —
Sit as in (C| or, standing,
place the right foot one step ahead. Slowly spread
the
arms, gracefully bending the elbows as if holding
a
globe and forming the hands as if holding two vases.
Elevate the arms, without modifying the given forma-
tion of the hands with a 45 degree angle to the shoul-
ders.

E) Aspiration — Extend yourself on a flat surface,

face to the ceiling.Spread your arms, the palms open,
and extend your legs at a 45 degree angle. This position
calms the body and nerves and permits you to aspire
to new forces, to bathe in the ambience that
surrounds
you in the more distant regions, visible and occult.
F) Isolation for Defense — Sit on the ground. Bend
the knees and lead them toward your chin. Surround
your legs with your arms and interlace your fingers.
G) Active Isolation —
Lie in bed on your back. Put
the right leg over the left and interlace the fingers
over the genitals, reversing the normal turning of the
hands, upwards. Spread the thumbs and little fingers
a little and touch them at
the tips. If you properly
realize this pose, you will immediately feel a warm
current in your hands.
& The passive positions are designed, primarily, for opera-
tions in which the goal is
the acceptance of a force. By
means of the active positions we emit, to the contrary,
an aggressive gesture
or a defensive one.

living being in order to penetrate his peculiar mental

state with a view towards ascertaining his impending
action in a given situation.
Moreover, by means of Posism, one can attract,

Volantia, good or bad qualities that one has need of to

influence others.
Many of the rites of secret societies and, also, estab-
lished religions are based on the science of Posism.
However, the student who begins the exercises of posism
need not preoccupy himself with that which is treated
of in #7. — we see the inherent goals of our work, and
we give these notes only in the capacity of information.

We recommend that students should remember that Posism

is not only a gesture of the body. The lone gesture is
nothing, if it is not nourished by the corresponding mental
state. All gesture creates a thought and all thought creates
an influence.
But again it is necessary to understand the essential
difference between thought and word. Word is anemique;
thought is filled with the life blood. Word has a dull
resonance; thought vibrates brilliantly. Word is an immo-
bile image; thought is a dynamic being.
Gesture evokes a thought and agitates it before clothing
it in word. Posism evokes
thought and not word.

over the human qualities and faculties at the same time.

Consequently, to enter into communication with these

hierarchies it is' necessary, in the beginning, to determine

precisely which one among them we wish to unite with.

It is necessary to know, moreover, the particular laws that

govern them and emanate from them; and it is necessary

to know the name of the fraternity that this hierarchy
belongs to.
It is not permissible to divulge to the profane the law of
each hierarchy, but for each it is possible to discover the
correspondence in the human science that it reflects. De-
vote yourself now to studying the diverse disciplines enu-
merated above and force yourself to penetrate the spirit and
the Liws thereof. It is the path beginning at the bottom
that leads to the path of the higher.
As for the names of the hierarchies and the societies or
fraternities interplanetary, you will find many in the teach-
in s ot established religions. But, all the same, if you don't
pursue those teachings, you will still learn the names when
you have penetrated the essences. It is ill advised to acquire
this knowledge before you are ready for it.
When, in the course of the exercise of tirauclairism, you
have succeeded in uniting with one of the interplanetary
hierarchies, the influence that you receive remains with
you for som time and this prevents you from immediately
uniting with another hierarchy, since its laws will be differ-
ent.

A. Astrology

In astrology, as in sexual magic, the moon, the second

principle planet of our system, is certainly the most impor-

tant factor. It is necessary to bear these things in mind:

1. The moon, a female planet, favors the feminine power.

2. When the moon is in her increasing phase, her feminine

form increases proportionately. This is a propitious pe-

riod for the magical actions of the woman, when the

des of lunar vibrations are then favorable. For the

man, this period is good for the passive operations of

acceptance and also for the correction of our acquired

or developed faculties.

To find the individual color of a person, the color that

synthesizes a time, or the color that favors the execution
of a determined magical operation, one proceeds, first of
all, to study the horoscopic aspects of the planetary forces

3. One prepares a disc having a diameter of two feet and
divides the circumference into equal parts, the number
being equal to the sum total of the discovered balances
for each planet.
4. Then, one divides the disc in as many respective sec-

Operations

General Rules
the preceding pag the reader can study rules and
principles which make possible, with proper application
and execution, the realization of formidable things.

We now pass on to sexual operations so-called, which

cannot be efficacious without all that has previously been
explained. These operations are the basis of the mysteries
known under the name "Mahi Kaligua," and derive from the

Euclidian principle that we spoke of at the beginning of

this work.
One can practice this for many diverse reasons, but we
limit ourselves to these seven principles:

1. The charging of "Volts" and other fluid condensers.

CHAPTER XI

Of the Senses and Faculties

Now we come to the problem of the practical use of the

force of sexual magic. Again, we repeat that this practical

use cannot be profitable to the student who has not first,

seriously and patiently, studied the method of operating

with mental forces that one develops in the exercises of

Decretism, Volantia, Posism, and Tirauclairism, given in

the preceding chapters of this book. To use a force, then,
it is necessary to learn from your master. This must be

understood for the remainder of our teachings.

We have said before that when beginning a magical
operation, so-called, it is necessary to pass through a period
of preparation, which is divided into two phases: The first
is of seven daysand the second of forty-one days.
In order that all shall proceed according to the required
order, one must conform to the following prescriptions:

1 Choose a quietroom, where no person of the mundane

world may enter, for the experimental work. Put up
shutters or thick curtains over the windows to guard
against the daylight and see that the temperature in
the room is kept between 78 and
68 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the entire period of your experiences, do not let
any other person enter the room.
2. Carefully prepare the perfume,

This is why we
counsel couples who wish for the birth
of a boy or a girl to take recourse to the operation of sexual
magic, by conforming to the following rules:

1. To engender a boy: Perfume the room with the perfume

of Mars, then add the essence of Kastania Sauerdon in
the proportions of 1: 1, 3. Operate in Red light.
To engender a girl: Use the perfume of Venus with
the essence of Chenopodium Vulveria, mixed in the

2. The prayer of love — which can be formulated by the

man or woman separately or by the couple in harmony
— is of considerable power. If the prayer is made by only
one of the couple, take position #1 . If you pray together,
choose position #4.
3. During the period of psychic preparation — that lasting
seven days — it is useful to employ a picture of a man
or a woman, according to whether it is a question of
procreating a boy or a girl.

The preparation of seven days suffices. One operates on

the eighth day. If one conforms strictly
to these rules, the
desired result will infallibly be obtained.

 CHAPTER XIII

Fluid Condensers

These notes are written for the students of our

Brotherhood
They will serve as directions for an initiation on the
path
of truth.

We believe that it is useless to lose them in theoretical

considerations, which fill the works of occultists, modern
and ancient. Theories, theses, or philosophical
opinions
rarely shed sufficient light and never give incontestable

scientific proof, without which, the truth cannot

triumph.
Our method is to, first of all, place the undeniable facts
of experimentation before the student. The student
of intel-
ligence and will power dedicates himself to that which he
has seen and heard, to the theories conforming to ours
and,
if he does not abandon the initiatic journey that he has
begun, because of the difficulties and many privations
that
are implied, the good student learns for
himself, little by
little, the true doctrine of Wisdom. He is then a true adept.
Meanwhile, to facilitate the journey, to soften the hard-
ships of the path which we wish to
follow, we will recount,
here, the results of our personal work.
We have devoted many years to the experimental verifi-
cation of all that we have found,
taking practical advice
from works, ancient and modern. In this manner we can
proceed to make
a meticulous classification, separating
truth from falsehood.
We have, therefore, the right to affirm
that our counsel and teaching is in conformity with pure
scientific truth.
ine keys that we reveal are sufficient to enable each
student to
make his own researches.
The general ideas
that we advance

subject to certain fluid influences and that science can

prove this, the day that it will, to be the basis of all psychic 1

and physical phenomenon.

To operate with these forces, according to the laws which
regulate them, it is necessary, first of all, to concentrate
them in a point or on a given surface. One can, then, guide
and channel them at will. L

This procedure has been known for thousands

for that which is

in a preceding chapter.

Meanwhile, in verifying the technique of these prepara-

For these drugs to act as one wishes, it is necessary tc

conform, in their preparation, to the following recommen
dations:

1 The extracts of the plants should be prepared by macerat

tion in pure alcohol, where they must be left for forty
days.
The vase used in this operation should not be exposed
to the sun or, in general, to daylight.
The temperature of the room where the vase with the
alcohol used for the maceration of the extracts is kept
must be constantly maintained at 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
For each 100 grams of herb, it is necessary to use 120
grams of alcohol.
2. The pressed extracts are prepared by compilation.
3. To obtain the coal of the plants, enclose these hermetic
remains in a bowl of blown glass and then plunge it into
a fire of wood or coal.
4. Beeswax, which we recommend for certain mixtures,
must be boiled three times in pure water, in advance.

All experimental magic is based on the laws of correspon-

and of polarizations.
dences, of sympathies
While the laws of polarizations determine the force of

between the two contrary poles + and -

(
the ),
attraction
laws of correspondences and of sympathies exist for all the

e theric forces, spread out through space and on the earth;

their elements, or materials, correspond in the same man-

ner as their sound, their color, their rhythm, and their

perfume, sympathetically.
The profound study of these diverse correspondences
with the aid of solid fluid
allow us to successfully operate
condensers (type 3), which we call "Volts."
These condensers are figurines, prepared in a special

fashion (see more below). They are charged, according to

the method that we indicate here, with the psychic force

of an individual in order to cure an illness, to correct or

improve a person's nature, or even to cast a spell, beneficial

or malefic, with the aid of the laws of Correspondences and
sympathies.
The preparation of a "Volt" requires the following opera-
tions:

1. The definition and fabrication of the perfume and the

individual color of the subject.
2. The introduction into the solid condenser:

during the preparation of the jewel.

CHAPTER XVI

The Preparation

Planetary Charges

1 The purpose of the planetary charges, treated of in the

preceding chapter, is the reinforcement of a given fac-
ulty in the person for whom the fluid condenser is
prepared.
But, if we want to combine in the same person the
forces indicated in Table B. (underneath the line of
separation], we can prepare for our subject two jewels,
for example two rings, which we will charge respec-
tively, each with the corresponding planetary force.
Thus, if we want to give our subject some energy
and courage and, at the same time, some calm and self
control, we can fabricate a martial ring and a solar ring
for him. Then he should wear both of them on his
finger.

2. The planetary ring is prepared according to the model

that we have
described in the preceding chapter: but
the metal chosen for the fabrication of the reservoir
must correspond to the desired planet. For Mercury,
one prepares a compound formed of the six planetary
metals, taking equal parts. One can find the indication
necessary for this effect in Table A.
3. The precious stone, also chosen from Table A., is inlaid
according to the directions given in model #1 if it is
transparent. One acts according to model#2 if the
stone found from the table is not transparent.

The reservoir, thus prepared, must rest for 24

cold running water. One places it, then, in the isolated

vase.

The perfume of the corresponding planet should make

introduced into the reservoir.
After having hermetically sealed the condenser in
7. a
bottle, scrupulously observing the characteristic condi-

tions of color and perfume, one charges the condenser

with the desired planetary force in the same manner
as a "Volt" is charged.
The evocation of the planetary force itself is pre-
pared by means of the exercise of Posism.

8. During the first operation of sexual magic, which imme-

diately follows the period of preparation, one charges
the liquid composition with the required planetary
force. Immediately after, one introduces it into the
reservoir.
The opening cut for the introduction of the liquid
is then plugged with solder. If the metal employed for

the fabrication of the reservoir can be amalgamated

with mercury, one can use some of this amalgam for
the solder.

9. During the second sexual magic operation, and follow-

ing it, one charges the jewel after it has been entirely
fabricated.

10. In surrendering oneself to these diverse operations,

one must take notice of the situation of the con-
stellations and of the aspects of the planets, for one
can only charge the jewels and talismans efficaciously
if the planet, whose force one evokes, is exalted, in

ascendance, or at least in good aspect.

11. When it has been charged sufficiently, the jewel is

deposited in the isolated vase and one carefully con-

serves it so that it may be used when needed.

Humanity, can it not rid itself, once and for all, of these

illusory monsters? Can it not refuse fear and, courageously,

confront the posthumous beings who present themselves

under the form of impalpable visions?
Nothing serious can be accomplished by man in this
domain, as long as the Light shines only in darkness. Man

is not at home on this earth when the unknown is treated

this way. He
does not pursue the unknown and he is not a

peaceful guest so long as he wrestles with the fear of this

unknown. For when it is placed before him, the gate re-

mains barred.
Then, I repeat, it is Fear of the supernatural that prevents

our heroism from blossoming so that we may move hon-

estly into the mystery. Fear is a heavy cloud that we

willfully attract for our security. But, in turn, the fright

that we assume, and is such that we wish that our life was

a dream, is reality.
We ask ourselves: Where are our dead? Where are we
ourselves? The departed beings, are they always around us?
Shall we honor them one day?
I respond Yes to these questions and I attest that the

as if they were shown in a planodiorama. One sees them
as with any photographic apparatus.
The magic mirror does not exist for the operator who is
in an abnormal state. All persons who look into the magic
mirror must have all their senses intact. The mind is not
fatigued and the nerves remain calm.
During the mesmeric experiences, images come and go
quickly, The magic mirror, on the contrary, withdraws
them as slowly as you wish. Anyone can use this means
of vision with success.
There are many types of magic mirrors.
We have, first of all, the crystal; for example, that of
polished carbon. But one does not see
many mirrors of this
type because it is very difficult
to find a mineral of suffi-
cient hardness, smooth and
without a crack, that one can
conveniently polish.
Therefore, one of these
mirrors, when it is available, is
excellent. It attracts and conserves magnetic fluids very
well. These fluids attract the
eyes of the operator and
precisely form a
perceptible image.

The king of Macedonia, Basil, grieving over the death

his son, went to the house of Theodor Santabaron, the well
know fortune teller, and beseeched him to show the de-
ceased. The sorcerer, proceeding as usual, allowed him to
see the young man, clothed luxuriously on a splendid horse.
The boy bent towards his father, embracing him tenderly,
and departed.
This strange phenomenon was not of charlatanism for,
as today, perfect vision is incapable of imitation. It is
certain that Theodor Santabaron used a magic mirror to
give this exceptional consolation to king Basil.
/ In his work devoted to the life of Benvenuto Cellini,
Roscal, in recounting the extraordinary adventures of this
great artist, treats of his evocations, realized by means of
ritual magic, and it is interesting to note that neither

Roscal, Brester or Smith account this to be only the product

of pure artistic fantasy.

It is true that they try to put aside the deductions which

are naturally in favor of our thesis, but they make it in

such an awkward fashion that their materialist supposi-

ing man is to find the life and activity of the mental

plane without becoming physically passive.

Our school t< iches our students to penetrate the superior

spheres, without losing sight of the earth and the laws that

ruU it. This is why we advocate experiences with the aid

of the magic mirror.

Plato has said that the phantom is the image of reality,

living in the interior Light. The magic mirror attracts th<

form of this reality and fixes it, and reflects it, according
to exact psychicand physical laws.
The interior Light reflected by the magic mirror unites

in the normal human eye with the exterior light and pro-

duces there the sensual phenomenon of Vision. But if the

interior is not united with the exterior light, we remain in

pure imagination not materialized. The interior Light, when

it is insulated from the exterior world, reposes in a calm
and clear atmosphere.
This calm and clear atmosphere persists when the exte
nor manifestation is produced. It is the Tranquil Light that
is sj ken of in books, ancient and modern. It is the Tran
quil Light which is spoken of by Zoroaster and the other
sages and savants of the east.

But it is also true that certain perfumes and

vapors have always been a great aid to visions.
Some persons have visited the rooms of the Brotherhood
of Eulison Boylston Street in Boston. All have been sur-
prised by the calm which reigns in our center, of thi
tranquilassurance that penetrates our brothers.
Everyone bows and waits patiently for the perfumes to
be spread when the odorous cubes are ignited. A penetrat-
ing music affords a little understanding and, slowly, the
clouds of vapor rise through the tripods. They adumbrate
the marvelous mirror, prepared for the experience with
their caress.
Faith in the reality of the supernatural is the sole means
of cleansing souls from cold atheism and blind obstinacy.
The day that one understands this essential truth, th<
entire world will take another attitude towards magical
phenomena.
With this book we can cut the imaginary knot in men's
knowledge that irremediably attaches them to the exterior

universe. We do not want to reinforce superstition, but wt

been stolen from it.

5. The more often and the longer that one uses a magnetic
mirror, the better it is, for the action of the mirror
augments its use.

6. To sleep with the aid of the magnetic mirror, it is

necessary to fix the attention in the center, calmly and

without the least preoccupation of the spirit. Visions
will appear, then, while dreaming.
7. It isnecessary that the brilliant surface of the mirror
should not be struck by the rays of the sun, which
paralyze its magical action —
when you use the mirror,
present its back to the window.
8. The magic mirror must be as clear as a book.
9. If several persons wish to look at the same time, hang

the mirror on the wall —

and let no person touch it.
10. The best position for vision in the magic mirror is one
where no one's reflexion is witnessed. You can find
this position by inclining the mirror in all ways, until
the surface shows a lone sheet of deep water, smooth
and limpid.
When coming from your eyes, has

21. All vision, which appears in the magic mirror to the

left of the observer, is the image of a concrete truth.

22. That which manifests to the right is symbolic. It must

be interpreted according to the traditional significance

of the symbols.

23. The clouds or shadows, which move upwards in magi-

cal visions, are the affirmative responses to the ques-
tions posed.
24. The clouds, or shadows, that descend, are negative
responses.
25. The shadows, that move to the left or right, signal the
presence of an occult intelligence.
26. These clouds, that move towards the right or left,

signify that a seance should be raised.

27. If, after much patience, the willed result has still not
been effected, it is permissible to use the stimulant
powder, which we will speak of later in a special
chapter.
But this powder is dangerous for many men it ;

must be used with prudence and as infrequently as

possible. When the stimulant powder has made its

space of 1/4". This empty space is filled with black ink l

through a little hole made in the seal. The hole is hermeti-

cally scaled and the operation is completed.
Another well known little mirror is that of Dr. Dee of
London. One prepares it like this:
One chooses a piece of very black Anthracite, large

enough to obtain a cube of at least a half foot. One sees to

it that the surface, which is polished, has no cracks or the
least cloudy blemish.
One carefully hollows out this surface in a manner so
that the volume of the cavity between its diameter and its
depth, presents a ratio of 5 to 1; and one polishes it finely.
The mirror thus obtained must be surrounded by a frame
of hard wood. The mirror of Dr. Dee can serve the observer
operating all alone, but the result is better if one works
with the aid of a medium.
We classify other magic mirrors employed by mages and
oriental sorcerers in the same category of little ordinary
mirrors. One can find their description in Lane's works.

The magnetic surface of the masculine magic mirror is

also sensitive like a photographic plate. If a stranger has

held the mirror in his hand, for only ten minutes, it reacts

infallibly, even days later. Then one sees, appearing

many
on its surface which is normally black, numerous gray
specks, symptomatic of a contrary magnetic charge. Thus,
the efficacy of the mirror closes it up against evil.
A masculine magic mirror, properly polished, can serve
one for a very long time.

work seriously and with all required attention.

The preparation of a special magic mirror requires the

following conditions:

1. All the materials employed for its construction must

be carefully cleared of any strange fluids.
2. During the preparation, one should work in artificial

light.

3. During fabrication, one must keep the mirror in abso-

lute isolation.
4. One polishes the mirror made in this fashion without
ceasing to protect its living magnetic state.

5. During the experiences, one holds the mirror obliquely,

like a book, the two centers of focus being on a vertical
line.
The best proportions between a and b, are 34 for a
and 32 for b. But one may vary these dimensions, always
guarding the rapport.

The Special Conditions of Preparation and Work for

Special Magic Mirrors of the Normal Type.

Specialmagic mirrors of the normal type are employed

when one does not know the horoscope of the interested
person.
The coats on the surface, indicated in figure 15, are
composed of the following:

Coat "B" is the essential coat of the planetary mirror. It
contains: for one part "chloride dore", three parts of sulphur,
eleven parts of charcoal produced by a mixture of flowers
found by consulting the table (A) of correspondences under
the line of the chosen planets, two parts of the perfume of
this same planet, one part of phosphoric acid, fifteen parts
of paranapthaline (anthracene), three parts of cooked bees-
wax. The thickness of this coat must be 1/4".
Coat "A" is formed of Spath Fluor. It is of a thickness of
1/16".
For the preparation of a special magic mirror of the
planetary type, one chooses the color of lighting, the per-
fume and the astrological time conforming to the planet
that one wishes to evoke the force of, without using a
sexual charge.

The Special Conditions of Preparation and Work for

Special Magic Mirrors of the Individual Type.

A special magic mirror of the individual type

can only be
used for the personal experiences for which it has been
made. One constructs it according to the aspects of the
natal horoscope of its owner.
The different coats for this type of mirror are the same
as those of the planetary mirrors, with
the following particu-
larities:
Coat "D" is made of a mixture of metals, chosen from the
degradations of the forces in the horoscope.

containing 18 parts
of duly charged liquid fluid

her horoscope as are present in that of the operator.
2. The and the astrologi-

Living Pictures

Under certain conditions, by scrupulously accomplishing

tht magical work that will be explained in this chapter,
one can animate, that is to say render truly alive, certain
portraits and statues, in order to influence one or many
senses of a chosen man or woman. The influence, that om
thus pr cts, can be mental or physical, indifferently.

The doctrine of Living Magical Pictures is not new. In

the middle ages, certain painters knew it very well and
applied it to their art; but, also, one finds cases where the
human magnetic fluid is concentrated in an old portrait,
forgotten in the corner of a salon of some feudal chateau
through the monotonous years, until it is discovered to
reveal scenes of violent passions. One also speaks of certain
sacred paintings, made on the walls of Christian temples.
They c n become suddenly animated and exhibit real
wonders.
Obviously, the will of the wise man initiated in the
mysteries of the great magical art can better and more
surely create this than a fortuitous discovery. The mages
and sorcerers ot the preceding centuries knew it and they
studied this problem thoroughly.
They teach, in their rediscovered writings, that an oil
paint, made with the oil of the poppy, is an excellent fluid
condenser and a gold guilded frame is a perfect insulator.
Fixed on the wall of a church, where persons kneeling
in prayer often see it, or hung on the silk drapes of a salon
where it is exalted in dreams and violent passions, and
artistic work may become, little by little, the true center
t life. The oil holds the human fluids and the guilded
trame prevents leakage of them.

poses the elements of the charge according to the

indications of Table B.

Some General Conditions for the Four Cases.

1. The living picture, prepared according to our methods,

must be hung on the wall of a bedroom which is specifi-

cally consecrated and where persons never enter, except
the proprietor and the woman who operates with him.
This bedroom should be of 860 cubic feet at least. Its
walls should be painted with the oil of the individual
color of the person reproduced in the picture.
When the proprietor comes before this image to oper-
ate, he lights the room in the individual color of the
portrait.
One
takes care to place a divan facing the picture, so
that the operator can easily fix his sight on the features
of the image without tiring.

2. One places a lamp between the portrait and the divan.

This lamp, made of a metal astrologically corresponding
to the idea which presides in the picture, spreads the
necessary vapors throughout the room, perfumed with
the individual perfume prepared according to the horo-
scopic aspects of the portrait. The lamp in question
supports a vase of the same metal of astrological corre-
spondence, which contains pure water and a sufficient
quantity of individual perfume.
3. The woman introduced into the room when the va-
is
pors, in light and aromatic clouds, have sufficiently
filled the atmosphere of the room
for the protection of
the magnetism, for the magnetism of the woman may
be contrary.
Oneoperates sexual love magic with this woman
while imagining the gradual animation of the portrait,
until its complete vitalization
is accomplished. One
should not divert one's eyes from
the portrait until the
operation is complete.
4. If you conform strictly to all that
we have taught here,
and if you don't forget,
before the arrival of the woman,
to perfume your

 Appendix B

A Note on Some Obscure Points

in Sexual Magic.

In Chapter IX, Randolph refers to a method of obtaining numeri-

cal values for the planets in a natal horoscope. This was, no

doubt, treated of in his Volume IV for the First Degree of the
Brotherhood of Eulis.
In absence of this, we may deduce that planets in natal horo-
scopes present aspects (trines, conjunctions, squares, oppositions,
etc.) and that a number is designated to each planet in Table A.

of "Sexual Magic." It would seem reasonable that the value for a

given planet in a natal horoscope might be obtained by adding
the values of all planets well aspected (for the positive value) and
badly aspected (for the negative value).
As the student of sexual magic will understand, these plane-
tary values are essential to a great many of the operations de-
scribed by Randolph.
Concerning the section of Chapter IX on magical music, the
instruction is exceedingly obscure and still awaits explanation.
The student may also encounter references in Sexual Magic
to obscure herbs or metals. In this he should be guided by his
own ingenium.

from the King^T u fu
of the South, seeking an alliance
°y al ^bassy
and propounding
new^treaties. Among the suite was
a young Basinge poet, who
acted as interpreter to the
embassy. This youth heard of the
singular state of things, learned
the conditions and got the riddle
by heart. For four long
months did he ponder upon the study of
it, revolving
in his mind all sorts of answers, but
without finding
one that fulfilled the three
requisites.
"In order to study more at his
ease, the youth was in the habit
ot retiring to a
grotto behind the palace and there repeating to
nimself the riddle and all sorts of
possible responses thereto. The
Princess, hearing of this,
determined to watch him and did so.
Now, poets must sing, and this one was
particularly addicted to
this sort of
exercise, and he made it a point to imagine every sort

131
232 P. B. Randolph

of perfections as residing in the princess. This man sang his songs

in the grotto— sang himself desperately in love with his
daily
ideal, and so inflamed the girl herself, who had managed both to
see and hear him, herself unseen, that she loved him dearer than
life. Here, then, were two people made wretched by a potentate's
whim.
"Love and song are very good in their place, but, for a steady
diet, are not comparable to many other things; and, as this couple
fed on little else, they both pined sadly and rapidly away.
"At length, one day, the youth fell asleep in the grotto. His
head rested directly over a fissure in the rock through which
there issued a very fine and subtle vapor, which had the effect
of throwing him into a trance, during which he fancied he saw
the princess herself, unveiled, and more lovely than the flowers
that bloomed in the king's garden. He also thought he saw an
inscription which bade him despair not, but TRY! and, at the
same time, there flowed into his mind a sentence which subse-
quently became the watchword of the mystic fraternity which,
for some centuries, has been known as that of the Rosie Cross
'There is no difficulty to him who truly wills. '
With this there
came to the entranced one a solution of the king's riddle, which
he remembered when he awoke. Instantly he proclaimed his
readiness to attempt that which had cost so many adventurers
their lives.
"Accordingly, the grandest preparations— including a man with
a drawn blade ready to make the poet shorter by the head if he
failed—were made, and at an appointed hour all the court, the
princess included,convened in the largest hall of the place. The
poet advanced to the foot of the throne, and there
knelt, saying,
'O King, live for ever! What three things are
more desirable than
Life, Light and Love] What
three are more inseparable? And
what cometh from the sun, yet are not the sun? O King!
better
is thy riddle answered?'
True!' said the king: 'you have solved
it, and my word
shall be kept.' And he straightway gave com-
mand to have the marriage
celebrated in royal style, albeit,
through the influence of a
high court official, he hated poets in
general and this one in
particular, because he thought the young
man had foiled him
in one of the treaties just made.
Now, it so happened that the
grand vizier had hoped by some
means to hnd a solution for
the riddle and great prize

by charging him with having succeeded through the aid of sor-

cery. This so enraged the king that he readily agreed to remove
the claimant by means of a speedy, secret and cruel death that
very night, to which end the poet was drugged in his wine at the
evening banquet, conveyed to a couch openly and almost imme-
diately thereafter removed to the chamber allotted to the refrac-
tory servants of the court. This apartment was underground, and
the youth, being thrown violently on the floor, revived and was
astonished to find himself bound hand and foot in the presence
of the king, his vizier, a few soldiers and —
death. He defended
himself from the charge of sorcery, but in vain. He was doomed
to die, and the order was given, when, just as the blow was about
to fall, there appeared the semblance of a gigantic hand, moving
to stay the uplifted blade, but too late. The sword fell, and
as if

as it reached the neck of the victim he uttered the awful words

an garb of the
and majestic presence. He was clad in oriental

long-gone ages, and his flowing robes were bound to his waist
similitude of a shining serpent
by a golden band, wrought into the
the sacred emblem of eternal wisdom. Around his broad and
dusted with spiculae of finest
lofty brow was a coronet of silver,
diamonds. On the sides of the center were two scarabei, the

symbol of immortality, and between them was a pyramid, on

which was inscribed a mystical character which told at the same
time that his name was Ramus the Great.
"This royal personage spake kindly to me, and his soft tones
fell upon the hearing of my soul like the words of pardon to the
sense of sinners at the judgment seat. 'Look, my

at the same time pointing toward a vast procession of the newly
risen dead — a spectral army on the sides of the mountain,
slowly, steadily, mournfully wending their way toward the part
of the Temple I had quitted previous to the commencement of
this dream within a dream. Said the man at my side: 'Yonder
host of pilgrims are men and women who are seeking, as thou
hast sought, to unbar the Gates of Glory, that they may pass
through them into the delightful Garden of the Beatitudes. It is
one thing to be endowed with intellectual strength, knowledge
and immortality; it is another to be wise and happy. The first is
a boon granted to all the children of earth alike; the last can be

a tall and regal

majestic as a lofty mountain when it wears a snowy crown!
the royal form of a man, but evidently not a ghost, a wraith or a
man of these days, or of this earth, or of the ages now elapsing.
He was something more than a man; he was supra-mortal; a
bright and glorious citizen of a starry land of glory, whose gates

turning, with outstretched arms, with tearful mien, spoke: 'Mor-

of Rosicrucia and with it wake thy sleeping wills. Thus do I

endow thee with the elements, attention, aspiration and persis-

such be thy choice, enable thee to realize a moral fortress capable

of defying the combined assaults of all the enginery circumstance

with it, thou art safe. But beware of turning they assaulting power

hurls thee to the bad! Remember! Wake not to the external life,
but in they slumber seize on the word I whisper in thine ears. It
is a magic word, a mighty talisman, more potent than the seal

of Solomon, more powerful then the Chaldean's wand, but it is

potential for ill as for good. See to it, therefore, that it is wisely
used. The word is "TRY!" As thou shalt avail thyself of its power,
so be it unto thee. I now leave thee to thy fate and the fortunes
that may befall thee.'
