BEHOLDERS OF NIGHT

was in medieval times that saturn itself was the outermost planet, holding the secrets of self transformation, death and the darkness of the soul. the workings of saturn are focused within darkness, and the possibility therein. the self-alchemical process of moving through the sphere of saturn is relative to darkness in that the initiate moves through the chthonic realms of the earth (satanas or mephistopheles, or the demonium of the earth, from which one then rises through the higher octaves of saturn (lucifer. within a sabbatic sense, the arcanum of lucifer is presented in the dual essence of self-liberation, isolation and transformation. just as lucifer/azazel fell from the sphere of light to the darkness of the earth, shall a new knowledge be gained in the exploration of the chthonic

. faustus. the dramatist g. e. lessing wrote a faust play during the german literary revival of the eighteenth century, but it remained for goethe to grant faust some degree of immortality through the creation of one of the great psychological dramas of all time. goethe differed from his predecessors in his treatment of the story in that he gave a different character to the pact between faust and mephistopheles, whose nature is totally at variance with the devils of the old faust books. goethe took the idea of faust s final salvation from lessing. it may be said that although in some respects goethe adopted the letter of the old legend he did not adopt its spirit. probably the story of faust has given to thousands their only idea of medieval magic, and this idea has lost nothing in the han

blication of the witches hammer launched the great era of witch-hunts that culminated in the incidents at salem village, massachusetts, three centuries later. overwhelmingly, accounts of pacts with the devil are tied to witchcraft persecution. in 1587 the first book appeared recounting the story of johannes faust, the legendary magician who made the most famous pact with a devil figure, the demon mephistopheles. in exchange for his soul, mephistopheles agreed to serve faust for 24 years. he was granted every wish for that period, only to be killed by the demon when the 24 years ended. faust has inspired a number of literary reflections upon the individual s relationship with evil. signs of the devil s presence f. pierre crespet described the mark with which satan brands his own: it may be

FAUST

cient structureth1808 faust johann wolfgang von goethe translated by george madison priest goethe, johann wolfgang von (1749-1832- german poet, writer, and playwright who was a dominant influence in german literature. his primary focus was on the natural evolution of things rather than abstract theories. faust (1808) a play about the legend of faust who promises his soul to the destructive spirit mephistopheles in order to fulfill his desire of encountering life through experiences rather than through the study of philosophy. dedication ye wavering forms draw near again as ever when ye long since moved past my clouded eyes. to hold you fast, shall i this time endeavour? still does my heart that strange illusion prize? ye crowd on me! tis well! your might assever while ye from mist and murk

brutaler than any brute. it seems to me, if you ll allow, your grace, he s like a grasshopper, that long-legged race that s made to fly and flying spring and in the grass to sing the same old thing. if in the grass he always were reposing! but in each filthy heap he keeps on nosing. the lord you ve nothing more to say to me? you come but to complain unendingly? is never aught right to your mind? mephistopheles no, lord! all is still downright bad, i find. man in his wretched days makes me lament him; i am myself reluctant to torment him. the lord do you know faust? mephistopheles the doctor? the lord yes, my servant! mephistopheles he! forsooth, he serves you most peculiarly. unearthly are the fool s drink and his food; the ferment drives him forth afar. though half aware of his insensate

orth afar. though half aware of his insensate mood, he asks of heaven every fairest star and of the earth each highest zest, and all things near and all things far can not appease his deeply troubled breast. the lord although he serves me now confusedly, i soon shall lead him forth where all is clear. the gardener knows, when verdant grows the tree, that bloom and fruit will deck the coming year. mephistopheles what will you wager? him you yet shall lose, if you will give me your permission to lead him gently on the path i choose. the lord as long as on the earth he shall survive, so long you ll meet no prohibition. man errs as long as he doth strive. mephistopheles my thanks for that, for with the dead i ve never got myself entangled of my own volition. i like full, fresh cheeks best of a

all the lot. i m not at home when corpses seek my house; i feel about it as a cat does with a mouse. the lord tis well! so be it granted you today! divert this spirit from its primal source and if you can lay hold on him, you may conduct him downward on your course, and stand abashed when you are forced to say: a good man, though his striving be obscure, remains aware that there is one right way. mephistopheles all right! but long it won t endure! i have no fear about my bet, be sure! when i attain my aim, do not protest, but let me triumph with a swelling breast. dust shall he eat, and that with zest, as did the famous snake, my near relation. the lord in that too you may play your part quite free; your kind i never did detest. of all the spirits of negation the wag weighs least of all on

w maestro paolo. he talked of adventures, of travel, of women, with a hearty gusto that had its infection. but glyndon listened yet more complacently when paolo turned with an arch smile to praises of the eye, the teeth, the ankles, and the shape of the handsome fillide. this man, indeed, seemed the very personation of animal sensual life. he would have been to faust a more dangerous tempter than mephistopheles. there was no sneer on his lip at the pleasures which animated his voice. to one awaking to a sense of the vanities in knowledge, this reckless ignorant joyousness of temper was a worse corrupter than all the icy mockeries of a learned fiend. but when paolo took his leave, with a promise to return the next day, the mind of the englishman again settled back to a graver and more thoug

cannot disentangle all the hues which commingle into the light he seeks to cast upon truth; and therefore the great masters of this enchanted soil, fairyland of fairyland, poetry imbedded beneath poetry, wisely leave to each mind to guess at such truths as best please or instruct it. to have asked goethe to explain the "faust" would have entailed as complex and puzzling an answer as to have asked mephistopheles to explain what is beneath the earth we tread on. the stores beneath may differ for every passenger; each step may require a new description; and what is treasure to the geologist may be rubbish to the miner. six worlds may lie under a sod, but to the common eye they are but six layers of stone. art in itself, if not necessarily typical, is essentially a suggester of something subtl
