Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to George MacNie Cowie
July 5, 1913.
Care Frater,
I am going back to the 'solemn passionless profound' [Russia] on Tuesday. I shall not be back until the middle of August, or perhaps the end.
I am triumphant except about the proofs [of the Equinox] of which they send a big bucketful every day, so that if you choose to come here on July 21, you will have no disturbance at all. Miss Hobbs will be here in the morning, but I imagine no one else at any time.
I am very glad you have found it satisfactory to take pains over the Ritual. You formulate the occupants of the Pylons by the simple process of creating them. You ought by this time to be able to visualize to such an extent that you can hardly distinguish behind the planes, and further to project with sufficient vigour to assure the presence of something so close to the material as to make no difference. I will do what I can to help with the interpretation of the Ritual, but whether I can do so this morning depends entirely on the telephone. It is quite clear that you haven't developed your Astral body to the necessary point.
I am absolutely snowed under with my proofs, so farewell for the moment.
Yours fraternally.
G. M. Cowie, Esq.,
