Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Stansfeld Jones
An XII
[18 July 1916]
Care Frater,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Yours dated July 11. Re the V°, it is a very bad plan to try to save a weak Lodge by giving high degrees. However, this may be a special case. Our rule was that no one should ever get beyond III° until he had brought two new members up to III° This excites emulation, and makes the Lodge pay its way. However, you get things in order for the next S.G.I.G. VII° that comes waltzing in on you, and no complaints will be made. Only, remember; the Lord cometh as a Thief in the Night. Last time, luckily for you, you were ready.
About your IX°, no doubt you did what you said, but what was that? I'm really very puzzled.
I hope your whole scheme works out well. It's ideal, if it does.
I'm in typical Apophis stage, apparently. Nothing to do or say or think; just wait—Dead Weight—Lord! I feel like him to-day!
Well—things change—"Nothing lasts, as Bacon came and said"
Love is the Law, Love under Will
Fraternally
Θ
P.S. You may make typed copies of all letters written to you by me on occult matters, from the start—They'll be wanted for Eq[uino]x III.
