CARDS 21-30

Card Nr. 21:

«Poderíeis, com efeito, ser senhores do vosso destino, mas somente na condição de saberdes que sois Deus. Porque só Deus é senhor do destino.
Enquanto acreditardes que sois unicamente homens, separados de Deus, e distintos de Deus, continuareis como antes e o destino dominar-vos-á.»

Gustav Meyrink, "A Noite de Walpurgis"



Card Nr. 22:

«It is taught that delusions, adversities, personal tragedies and failures, even catastrophes may play the role of a hidden guru, of a spiritual teacher «sui generis»; they may be interpreted as signs to discern the right path.»

Julius Evola, "The Yoga of Power"


Card Nr. 23:

«Create a power to act without tiring. Let this power be cold, hard, and at the same time labile and flexible. The Secret of the Force consists in willing well, willing long, willing without ceasing – and in never yearning.»

Abraxas, "Introduction to Magic"


Card Nr. 24:

«You believe you can move your body around, but this is an illusion; on the contrary, it is your body that moves itself, merely borrowing your will. You think you can create thoughts. You are mistaken: it is your body that sends them to you so that you think they came from you, and do its bidding.»

Gustav Meyrink, "The Path of Awakening"


Card Nr. 25:

«That which a religious man believes about God is nothing but a state that he himself could achieve, if he could only believe in himself. But he obtusely sets up obstacles over which he does not dare to jump. He creates an image to worship, instead of transforming himself into it.»

Gustav Meyrink, "The Path of Awakening"


Card Nr. 26:

«The so-called waking life of ordinary human beings is nothing but a state of torpor, of drunkenness and dullness, a state of fog and unreality.»

Julius Evola, "Introduction to Magic"


Card Nr. 27:

«When a mirror is broken, it does not affect the object reflected in it, but its image disappears. It is in these terms that we must interpret the phenomenon of death.»

EA, "Introduction to Magic"


Card Nr. 28:

«The idea that everybody possesses an "immortal soul", conceived moreover as a facsimile of his living consciousness and individual earthly Self, is a true ideological aberration, although its usefulness as opium for the masses at times cannot be denied.»

EA, "Introduction to Magic"


Card Nr. 29:

«The structure of the microcosm is in accordance with the structure of the macrocosm.»

Emerald Tablet of Hermes


Card Nr. 30:

«Grande época acabou por chegar para o Diabo, pois também ele é amigo da comodidade e dos 'progressos'.
Muito melhor que andar passando más noites pelos montes, por descampados, por encruzilhadas, presidindo aos Aquelarres, é andar pelos laboratórios, onde, ao menos, se está a coberto, e onde o calor dos fornos traz à memória o fogo quotidiano do Inferno.»

Vicente Risco, "Satanás, história do diabo"
