Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Wilfred Talbot Smith
[On Savoy Hotel notepaper.]
[10 October 1935]
Care Frater
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The Greetings of the Equinox of Autumn.
The Word of the Equinox is LAL.
(Note numeration and letters. Lal is the Sanscrit for Red. The background is the sandy desert and burnt mountains with corpses and the watching adept, as with sol in Aries)[1]
The Oracle is "Therefore strike hard and low and to hell with them master!"
The Omen is to be taken by each of the B[lessed] B[rethren] for himself or herself.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally
