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 exconsider the fact that PBR traveled frequently 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 plained

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. Consequently, 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, Canada 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

Perhaps the greatest mystery of the book was the language 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 an

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 American 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.

In 1837, at the age of twelve, Randolph shipped aboard the brig "Phoebe" in New Bedford as 10 This was the beginning of a life at sea that a cabin boy. a period that Randolph would lasted for eight years remember as miserable and painful.

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 becoming fluent in French. It was a brutal, but international
education.
Finally, at twenty,

The year
of
Randolph came ashore, 1848, was the time the famous Hydesville rappings, which gave birth to the
that
nineteenth century phenomena of Spiritualism. In Hydesville, New York, three sisters named Fox claimed to be in communication 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 fascinated 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

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 spiritualistic 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

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

wished to investigate the supernatural in a scientific man29 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 Theosophical Society, denounced PBR, accusing him of having 30 betrayed the Sacred Traditions. An occult war between the two followed. Blavatsky championed the "moral" spiritualist cause while Randolph maintained the need to scientifically 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.

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 PBR had always in Chicago, led by a noted agitatress 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

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 arcane truths treated of in the preceding chapter are reunited under the title "Mahi Kaligua," that is to say the

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 influence, that om cts, can be mental or physical, indifferently. thus pr 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.

In absence of this, we may deduce that planets in natal horoscopes 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 planecal values for the planets in a natal

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
