Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Arthur Calder-Marshall
Ivy Cottage, Knockholt, Kent.
Feb. 2nd, 1930.
My dear Calder Marshall:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
This is to confirm my telephone communication of this afternoon, and Stephensen's [P.R. Stephensen] of this evening.
"Stephensen will be in Oxford to-morrow evening at 7 o'clock in Mr. Hall's rooms, Trinity College. He will catch the 4:45 train from Paddington. Please have him met.
Please make arrangements to have sandwich men on the streets to sell "The Banned Lecture—Gilles de Rais—to have been delivered before the Oxford University, Poetry Society, by Aleister Crowley on the night of Monday, February 3rd." We are having it mimeographed and Stephensen will bring down a thousand copies (with posters) painted so that it can be sold as soon as he gets down. Please have this done.
I could not quite make out from what you said whether I am expected to give the lecture on Wednesday, but I am coming on Wednesday, anyhow, and if I am expected to talk, I can talk on some other subject.
We want Oxford thoroughly plastered with placards announcing the sale of "The Banned Lecture". Notices also should be handed in to various common room. Please note that the price of the lecture is 6d and not 3d. I should add that on my own behalf I should like to present autographed copies to any members of the Poetry Society who would like to possess one.
I will try to be in Oxford on Wednesday as near 5 o'clock as possible.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
666 / ir [Israel Regardie]
