Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Sekhet-Maat Lodge has now released more than ten years of Lion & Serpent’s digital archive for free. We have coordinated our resources to enable distribution of even the most recent issues immediately. Our intention is to make this a practice with future issues, as well, publishing both the print and PDF formats simultaneously. We are also offering a new way to support the journal. Many people from all over the world have chosen to support our work with a subscription to the print edition of L&S. It is our hope that the high quality printed artwork and collectibility of the paper version will continue to attract new and renewing subscribers. In addition to this, we are now making possible sponsorship opportunities for individuals, organizations, businesses, families, etc. You can sponsor one year of Lion & Serpent publication for as little as $10.

Duty by Aleister Crowley

 

From time-to-time I find myself in transitions and when I do I need to evaluate my “obligations’ and “responsibilities” and to do that I need to re-evaluate some concepts of Dharma or “duty”.  What do I want from the universe?  What does the universe want from me?  What do I and the universe want of eachother?  I find that a re-reading of Aleister Crowley’s “Duty” often helps begin this process.

Duty

by Aleister Crowley

(a note on the chief rules of practical conduct to be observed by those who accept the Law of Thelema.)

“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.”

“There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.”

“…thou hast no right but to do thy will. Do that and no other shall say nay. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.”

“Love is the law, love under will.”

“Every man and every woman is a star.” more))

0. This practice is very difficult. The student cannot hope for much success unless he have thoroughly mastered Asana, and obtained much definite success in the meditation-practices of Liber E and Liber HHH.

On the other hand, any success in this practice is of an exceedingly high character, and the student is less liable to illusion and self-deception in this than in almost any other that We make known.

[The meditation-practice in Liber E consisted in the restraint of the mind to a single predetermined imagined object exterior to the student, simple or complex, at rest or in motion: those of Liber HHH in causing the mind to pass through a predetermined series of states: the Raja-Yoga of the Hindus is mainly an extension of the methods of Liber E to interior objects: the Mahasatipatthana of the Buddhists is primarily an observation and analysis of bodily movements. While the present practice differs radically from all of these, it is of the greatest advantage to be acquainted practically with each of them, with regard firstly to their incidental difficulties, and secondly to their ascertained results in respect of psychology.

Liber os Abysmi vel Daath | CDLXXIV v.22

“and in his great weakness it may be a while that the New Will and Aspiration are not puissent. Yet being undisturbed by those dead weeds of doubt and reason which he hath uprooted, that grow imperceptibly and easily like and unwanted flower.”
