Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Norman Mudd

 

     

 

Sidi bou Said,

Dear O.P.V.

We are doing our best to pick up the pieces. You must not expect everything at once and you must forget about Magick altogether, and hustle like an ordinary forked radish. There is every reason to believe that things are coming right at last. We are not exactly choking with gold but at least we are not down to the last reserves all day and every day.

     

Leah [Leah Hirsig] is immensely better since she got out of the Mephitic atmosphere. She has stopped having fainting spells every three minutes; in fact, there is nothing wrong with her at all any more. I am of course taking great pains to build her up slowly.

     

We look to you to drop once and for all nonsensical complexes about matters wholly unsuited to your exalted grade. You have been poisoned with an over dose of DAATH and the G[reat] W[ork] for you at present is to forget all you know and do not understand. Enough for the moment.

Yours fraternally.
