Jane Wolfe Diary Entry circa Summer 1939
Regina [Regina Kahl] lit into Georgia [Georgia Schneider] after the Mass [Gnostic Mass]. She lambasted Georgia's "artificiality of responses in the Temple" before the entire room downstairs.
Previously while officiating as Priestess—annoyed at Culling's [Louis Culling] humming while he was playing the organ, she audibly (behind the veil) told him to "Stop singing!"
The whole atmosphere was charged all evening, every one walking on thin ice. I got the impression Georgia damn well meant to hurl a defy at Winona Blvd. when she loudly and stentoriously said: "Thea is no part of me that is not of the Gahds."
Later: I ponder Max [Max Schneider] and Georgia in relation to this house. I see them as the prodders, the prowling animals that keep the inmates alert and on their toes? This is the value of the Black Brethren? They the ferment? And one has to learn to walk alone and side by side, with their ugly heads. This must be a part of Pan—that part that horrifies and terrifies when somewhat realized, or shatters the reason when experienced too vividly. The destructive Pan.
