Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Jane Wolfe
Ivy Cottage, Knockholt, Kent,
Dec. 11th, 1929.
Dear Estai:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Thanks for your two letters of Nov. 9th and 18th. But you omitted to supply the key to the cipher. The only intelligible statement is that Smith [Wilfred Talbot Smith] will write me, and I have not yet any letter from him—so perhaps I failed to understand that too.
As far as I can make out, you are better, and for that I am heartily glad.
As to helpful guidance, the important thing is for you to loose yourself completely in the Work. Nothing else matters.
The opening paragraph of your second letter about your mother is perfectly appalling. You seem to have slipped right back into the American way of writing long and elaborate screeds concerning non-existent matters. It gets worse when you are standing apart from some part of your body. I suppose you will soon have a gall bladder again! It is really disheartening that the climate of California should excrete such bilge.
Jesus Wept!
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
666.
666 / anl [Israel Regardie]
