Question about NOX
Aleister Crowley used a glyph - an 'X' inside of
a 'circle', which looked somewhat like a railroad
crossing sign - to summarize the three letters:
'N O X' , which can be traced "one on top of the
other" in the glyph. The Latin 'NOX' refers to
the Night of Pan. The Night of Pan was a term
used by A.C. to describe the Magickal/Mental
state of those "beyond the Abyss" (Magister
Templi through Ipsissimus). As the concept known
as the "Night of Pan" is catalytic to the Mystery
of Pan (Selflessness), my question is this:
what exactly, in clear terms, does the 'Night of
Pan / Mystery of Pan' actually signify?

Fifth paragraph:
"... O ye who dwell in the City of
the Pyramids beneath the Night of
Pan, remember that ye shall see
no more light but that of the
great fire that shall consume
your dust to ashes!"
Commentary by A.C.:
"... The last paragraph will
only be understood by the Masters
of the Temple."

Austin Osman Spare's Obituary
The Times, 1956
AUSTIN SPARE, an artist of unusual gifts and attainments and
of an even more unusual personality, died on May 15th 1956,
in hospital in London at the age of 67.
A dreamer of dreams and a seer of visions, he had that
complete other-worldliness so often depicted in romantic
fiction and so rarely found in real life. Money meant
nothing to him. With his talents as a figure draughtsman
he might easily have commanded a four-figure income in
portraitive, but he elected to live quietly and humbly,
rarely going out, painting what he wished to paint, and
selling his works at three or four guineas each.
Even in outward aspect he conformed to type - with his
untidy shock of hair, small imperial, and a scarf
instead of a collar. But for most of his fife he did
not mix in what are called 'artistic circles'. Not Chelsea,
Fitzroy Street, Bloomsbury or Hampstead claimed him, but
for years a little fiat 'in the south suburbs by the
Elephant' far removed from the coteries, deep-set in the
ordinary life of the people.
Austin Osman Spare was born in Snow Hill, near Smithfield
Market, London on December 31 1888, the son of Philip Newton
Spare, A City of London policeman. Leaving his elementary
school at the age of 13, he took his higher education into
his own hands, working not only at art but at general
subjects, in particular the occult. He had some formal
tuition at the Lambeth School of Art and the Royal College
of Art. He was already exhibitioning at the Royal Academy at
the age of 16, but in later years ceased to send anything
there. In July 1914 he had his first one-man exhibition at
the Bailie Gallery, showing a number of his so-called
'psychic' drawings and some very powerful generalizations
of animal nature.
Just after the 1914-1918 War Spare became friendly with
John Austen and Alan Odle, figure draughtsmen differing
considerably from him and from each other, but each
having certain aims in common with his. From October 1922
to July 1924 Spare edited, jointly with Clifford Bax, a
sumptuously produced quarterly called the Golden Hind for
Chapman and Hall. It collapsed for lack of support, but
during its brief career it reproduced in large scale some
really superb figure drawing and lithographs by Spare and
others. In 1925 Spare, Odle, Austen, and Harry Clarke
showed together at the St George's Gallery, and in 1930
at the Godfrey Philips Galleries.
Thereafter Spare was rarely found in the purlieus of
Bond St. He would teach a little from January to June,
then up to the end of October, would finish various works,
and from the beginning of November to Christmas would hang
his products in the living-room, bedroom, and kitchen of
his flat in the Borough. There he kept open house;
critics and purchasers would go down, ring the bell, he
admitted, and inspect the pictures, often in the company
of some of the models - working women of the neighbourhood.
Spare was convinced that there was a great potential demand
for pictures at 2 or 3 guineas each, and condemned the
practice of asking Ł20 for "amateurish stuff". He worked
chiefly in pastel or pencil, drawing rapidly, often taking
no more than two hours over a picture. He was especially
interested in delineating the old, and had various models
over 70 and one as old as 93.
During the last war, while on fire watching duty, he was
blown up and temporarily lost the use of both arms.
His memory was also affected, but in 1946 in a cramped
basement in Brixton, he began to make pictures again,
starting, as he said, from scratch. In 1947 an exhibition
of no less than 163 of the pictures he had painted in the
previous few months attracted many people to the Archer
Gallery, in Westbourne Grove.
Spare's alleged 'automatic' and 'psychic' drawings tended
to lack discipline, and were on the whole inferior to his
'straight' work. The last chiefly comprised nudes, which
combined strength and delicacy of a high order and have a
wonderful three-dimensional feeling. His minute draughtmaship
may have owed something to the Pre-Raphaelite influence,
though general his art was much more human and full blooded
than that of the 'brethren'. Of his technical mastery then
can be no manner of doubt. The collection of his drawings
may yet become a cult.

Nonsense! Western bias. People with inner peace do not wish "evil" on

I doubt that. But well, ok - I guess people would call that an Adept,
Master, whatever. Those who can do it normally see no meaning in titles.
Paradox that, eh?

He's seeing the below from the above side of things. That's where One Thing
in the above is really many many things in the below.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, will look up data. It's one of those things, atavistic, archaic,
anachronistic, burning a small hole in some part of my AI's neural net.

True, then the word evil needs defining; and the quote
was just for fun. See: http://www.redflame93.com/Seabrook.html
