Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
55 Avenue de Suffren, Paris, VII
December 22nd, 1928.
Care Frater:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Just a line about the Geomancy Box.[1] We have a sort of rough model, and only lack the geomantic sigils of the planets, which I thought you had given me at Carry. But I cannot find them anywhere.
Lecram [Paris printers] promised to send me the sample page and a supplementary estimate yesterday, but it has not yet arrived. You shall have it as soon as it does.
There have been no new developments of any kind, and I am rather fed up with being sick.
I hope you have a merrier Christmas than we are likely to!
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
666.
1—[This refers to a Geomancy Box he was trying to market. The geomancy box was first called The Finger of Fate. The needle as of a compass in the centre of a circle. You approach your forefinger nearly to it until your body heat causes the needle to swing round. Withdraw finger and the needle stops, pointing to a number. You look up the number in the pamphlet and the word is your answer. It failed: the delicate balance broke down when the box was moved about—G.J. Yorke.]
Gerald Yorke, Esq., 9, Mansfield Street, London, W. 1.
