Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Kenneth Grant
Aston Clinton, Bucks.
December 30th, 1944
Dear Mr. Grant,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
I am glad you will have a free day next week. Any day will suit me after Wednesday. Things here are in a most awful mess. Pipes frozen is the least of my troubles.
I will give you the £ 2.2.0d. on your arrival. Don’t forget to remind me of that.
I was not at all sure about your poem. So far I can only see magnified words and no core, but this morning I am in no condition to judge anything.
I am glad to get Ephemeris. There is nothing worth reading in Lyndoe’s book except the tables at the end which enable one to dispense with the actual Ephemeris for the years from 1860-1920 if one is doing only a rough figure.
Love is the law, love under will.
Aleister Crowley pp. JT [Janet Taylor][1]
Hoping to see you towards the end of next week.
[In Crowley’s hand, enclosed in the letter on a separate scrap of paper]: My question “Are your parents sympathetic?” is important, because, if you like the idea, it might be possible to fix up a full-time job. (You would have to learn shorthand & typing, of course). You would learn a lot & fit yourself for an official position in the Order in say 10 or 15 years’ time 666.
1- Crowley's secretary at the time.
