Jane Wolfe Diary Entry circa August 1942
A letter to Jack [Jack Parsons] from 666 slaps down Smith [Wilfred Talbot Smith] and tells Jack to perform the Adorations to the Sun, render "Hymn to Pan", and carry around Liber OZ and pass out copies to people.
A frank talk with Joe [Joe Miller] about himself and what may keep him from achieving his ambition—which he has expressed as reaching the crowds for Thelema, or whatever he has to give. 1) Infallible judgments, 2) money with which to play Lord Bountiful—to play God, 3) sex inhibition because of Grace, his wife, who is now on a 3-months theatrical tour, 4) Low-class burlesque.
He took it all in good faith. On my telling him to render the ritual unto Nuit instead of to Joe, he promptly accepted and before we were through talking suggested I step into the role!
