Correspondence from Frieda Harris to Aleister Crowley

 

     

 

 

[Undated: circa Summer 1940]

 

 

My dear Aleister

 

1. I can't find Magick, Cap 0, on mathematics and philosophy of 0=2.

     

2. Is Vesica-piscis really the womb?

     

3. Why are there 72 decanates—72 names of God. I can understand 36—3 houses for each zodiacal sign and anyhow am I to divide the Universe into 72 parts? You say stars of the Zodiac—are the stars to be the signs or the actual constellations?

     

4. Phallus and sun I understand. Kteis=? Moon—what is Kteis?

     

5. Which (of any particular form) is the Uraeus Serpent?

     

6. “The general meaning etc. Hence it is ΖΩΠ” does that mean Azoth.

     

7. What is יאדח  ?

     

8. Can you get me any book which is simple on geomancy and Watkins [bookstore] will send me the book if you would order it.

     

Keyte met me yesterday—He described you as “wonderful” so his estimate of you was well-balanced—

     

I have been stodging up the remaining cards. The fortress or 4 Pantacles is well on the way—

     

Mercury is fussing dreadfully—How I should like to do them all again—I am faintly beginning to understand what you are driving at—Those 4 aces are going to be a riot—

     

It is so cold that I'm quite warm—(That is real A.C.)

 

Yours,

 

Frieda Harris
