Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Max Schneider
[EXTRACT]
[18 August 1936]
Of course each member should buy his or her own robes. It's awful black magic to have communal uniforms.
132 [Wilfred Talbot Smith] does seem to have a small mind. Selfish. Afraid of letting any one else have a say in his show. Like Cecil B. de Mille, he finds it "terribly lonely at the top."
These people need smacking, and I'm the boy for the job.
It's too short sighted. . . .
Frightfully busy. Deserted in the crises by Germer [Karl Germer], as expected. It's the only thing one can rely on him to do.
Curse all his egoism and vanity.
