Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Norman Mudd
Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum, Cefalù, Sicily
An XVII
[circa June 1921]
My dear Norman,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I suppose there has hardly been time for you to answer my letters; but my desire to hear from you makes me unreasonable.
The translation of Bilits is excellent, and I thank you very much for your kind thought of me.
Life in this Abbey [Abbey of Thelema] is like the [illegible] that is eating away men's souls. It is like a nightmare when one's house is on fire with all one loves asleep in it, and one shout would save them, and one has not the power to utter even a whisper. I have here magical MSS., the work of 7 or 8 years—how many might find Light, Life, Love and Liberty if they read them! And I can't print so much as a pamphlet. Damn! But I'm glad to suffer, if only one day, long hence it may be, my Word is heard in the World, and saves the [illegible] of those who scorn me now. I apologise for outburst; it relives me.
Love is the law, love under will,
Yours fraternally
The Beast 666.
