Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Karl Germer
The Ridge, Hastings, Sussex.
30th June, 1947.
Dear Karl,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I hasten to reply to yours of June 24th in the hope that it catches you before you leave New York.
I am very glad to hear that you have arranged for a sea voyage, and shall expect you here some time early in October. You might telegraph me from Antwerp stating the exact date of your arrival at "Netherwood".
Everything is going very well with me at the moment. I notice that quite a number of the younger men are beginning to take notice of me. In particular I had a two-days visit from an American named Richard Ellman on the 25th and 26th: he wanted to dig out of me all the details of the old G.D. [Golden Dawn] affair, though I should have thought he could have got all he could possibly want from the Equinox. However, I believe that I was able to help him in several ways and possibly to interest him in myself and my work.
Your letter to Roy [Roy Leffingwell] seems to be quite all it should be, but I shall write him a letter when I am in the mood for it. His pontification about his being head of the Abbey of Thelema seems to me very much like swelled head, and I am going to give him one of the swiftest kicks in the pants that I ever gave anybody.
You will note that Roy is merely the Master of a Provincial Camp; he seems to be unaware of the existence of such places as England, Canada, Germany, Denmark, and so on. England in particular is beginning to look up very brightly: we are getting a camp of Minerval started during the summer if plans go as at present arranged.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours,
Aleister.
P.S. I overlooked your letter of June 20th: I have just received the letter on "Death".
