Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Jane Wolfe
c/o Thos Cook & Son 1 Place de l'Opera Paris.
c/o Mr. Lamb 22 Chancery Lane London address perhaps better
Jan 8/20
My Sun Moon and Stars!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Just after writing to you I had your letter of Dec 14 forwarded (or rather, backwarded) from Lucerne.
It appears to me quite evident that your Rare Books were intended for you and me and could have no meaning until we came together. Don't omit to bring them with you.
Be careful, too, to arrange for your passage at once; I think we ought to meet just at the Solstice. I'm not sure whether it should be England or France but I will take the proper steps to find out in good time. A paper of instructions will be sent to you at an address in London.
I should like you to hold yourself very quiet. Detach yourself even from ideas about me; for if you have any particle of craving for anything, you spoil it and very likely lose it too! This is very serious, Jane o' mine, the greatest lesson of all on the practical side. To love without attachment, without lust of result—do not the Sun and Moon do this?
Now I see you before me in the dark—I turn out the lights for a little—I hold you closely—our Light kindles.
Love is the law, love under will.
Aleister
666.
