Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Stansfeld Jones
An XII
[26 December 1916]
Beloved Son,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Yours of Dec 3 and Dec 4.
Very sorry to hear bout Bro[ther] Mills [Thomas Mills]. Convey Our sympathy.
You have done right about the squabbling B[lessed] b[rethren]. Another time though, butt in earlier, at the first symptoms of trouble.
I am having Bro. Phelps' [Maurice Phelps] report analyzed; it is splendid. The platinum top to ring was a hinge and bolt pin, but it was a bit clumsy anyhow, though made extremely well.
N.O.X. signs.
Puer 6 = 5 sign is the God-form of Mentu
Pater 7 = 4 sign like the "student" in Eq[uino]x III.
Abyss sign (Puella) like the Venus de Medici, hands covering ϕ, whole attitude one of shambling modesty.
Babalon sign (Mulier) arms and legs spread.
8 = 3 sign (Mater) like Isis, left hand supporting imaginary child, right hand finding left-breast as if to suckle it.
The 6 = 5 sigh is the N
The 7 = 4 sigh is the O
Puella is a hesitation between
Babalon is the X
After giving it say N.O.X. Nox, the night of Pan!
Close with the 8 = 3 sign.
The main meaning is obvious.
I may go to Texas Jan 16 but it's not sure yet.
Write c/o Cook as before.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally,
Θ
