Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Grady McMurtry
An Ixx
[21 March 1946] [Actually sent 1 May 1946. See "P.S." below.]
Ex Castro Memoris Inferioris
Care Frater,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The Word of the Equinox is SUHAL*
The Oracle of the Equinox is AL I 37 reward
The Omen of the Equinox is 42
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
To Mega Therion 666
[handwritten by Crowley:] "* means a Black Lion, but is also a god or angel of generation"
P.S. May 1. This is what comes of having no adequate help, and eyes that work more by faith than by light. Letters yet mislaid: I can never tell whether I've done a thing or not; I can't find things; I'm the "He" in a game of Blind Man's Bluff.
I hear that you may be coming over here this summer: the Gods grant it! Unless I do get help I'm due for a nervous breakdown. Well, I shall go out now and post this with my own hand. Forgive my misunderstandings and omissions.
Love!
666.
