Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Cora Germer
55 Avenue de Suffren, Paris, vii
January 6, 1929
Dear Miss Eaton:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Thanks for your very nice letter of no date. It is all over now, and the only thing we have to do is to make good.
I like you still more for what you say about Karl [Karl Germer]. But don't make yourself illusions about his spiritual state. His letters reveal a serious distress, a condition based upon the misapprehension of the nature of life. To be perfectly frank with you, I think he is getting Americanitis. He finds that he cannot smoke cigars, and is afraid of what will happen if he drinks a cup of coffee, and well, don't you think now, that eating meat is a terrible danger? What he wants is a good wife, who will drive all these distracted fancies out of him. He wants comfort, and a home, and someone to prevent him seeing bogies in every shadow.
There ought to be no difficulty in getting rid of Maria [Marie Wys], who has always been a vampire to him, though in certain ways, an educative influence. But at least we don't want to meet her on the boat deck on anybody's honeymoon.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
To Mega Θphion 666
