Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Norman Mudd
Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum, Cefalù, Sicily
Dec. 18, 1921.
Care Frater,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
It is rather astonishing that after having a telegram from you so promptly and the nice letter that you sent, that I have not been able to get any further news of you of any sort. Jones [Charles Stansfeld Jones] seems to have the same experience. I hope it doesn't mean that you are ill, but I feel obliged to warn you that having taken up Magick all sorts of strange things are liable to happen. At the present moment, for example, a letter which should have been sent from London a month ago has not turned up yet. I impress this on you so that you may be thoroughly on your guard, and in case of anything going wrong, suspect Magick at once. Don't assume that letters will be delivered even if registered. In short, act as if you were at war. I have nothing to add to previous letters. In case the last has miscarried, the chief point was to draw your attention to the fact that I'm in extreme need of a mathematician to help me work out the proof that the Book of the Law is evidence of a discarnate intelligence. I want to get into immediate close touch with you and if possible, to arrange for a foregathering I am convinced that this is the most important piece of work at present, even from the quite normal standpoint of humanity and that destiny is knocking at your door. Please let me hear from you at once, if it is no more than a line to say that you have got this letter.
Love is the law, love under will,
Yours fraternally
The Beast 666.
