Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Arthur Calder-Marshall
Ivy Cottage, Knockholt, Kent.
Feb. 9th, 1930.
Dear Calder Marshall:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Thank you so much for the amusing time I had at Oxford. I am sorry you overslept yourself, as I should have liked to have talked to you a bit about possible constructive work. It seems to me that a good deal might be done at Oxford. There is a regular nucleus of interest which might be developed into something really worth while with a little careful nurture.
Of course, as a Cambridge man, it is extremely difficult for me to understand the feeling at Oxford about the authorities. Even when they went all out to do something to any of us, they made no impression at all except on people who are no class and penniless.
I think things had better be arranged so as to tell people what century we are living in, and I propose to begin this by some kind of an open letter to be published widely addressed to darling Ronny. That is why I am very anxious to get hold of the original letter which he wrote Speaight [Hugh Speaight], and which Speaight promised to let me have. As I do not want to get Speaight into any further trouble, as might happen if I had in any way misunderstood the situation, the next time you see him you might talk to him about it, in case he has not already sent it to me.
Hoping to see you again soon.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
666 / ir [Israel Regardie]
