Dear Jane,

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

I was delighted to get yours of November 10th with the notes of the Talks. Please do not under-rate them. I think both of them excellent in every way. Of course I have not any very clear idea of the atmosphere, and I don't know the sort of people whom you are addressing, but in any case I have nothing for you but congratulation and encouragement.

     

I cannot quite understand your paragraph about Agna. You tell me nothing. Is she one of us?

     

I am quite overwhelmed with work. I have now written over 70 of the Letters [for Magick Without Tears] and am just getting out a circular asking for further questions. The entries close at the Spring Equinox. By that time the Letters ought to amount to the contents of two fairly fat volumes, and I think that from what everyone tells me they should be a great success. People with no knowledge of the subject seem to be quite brightened up by reading them. My present difficulty is putting them in order. I think the best way will be to group them, and that ought not to be difficult because each Letter sticks pretty closely to its avowed subject.

     

I must cut this short. I only have someone to take my letters one day a week at best, and that is not always the case. This week I am lucky.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Lots of love,

 

In haste,

 

Aleister.

 

Just heard from [Karl Germer]. He says how splendid you are when you are yourself and let loose! But don't be highbrow. I agree.

 

666.
