Ethel Archer     Born: 17 October 1885 in Slougham, Sussex, England. Died:   8 November 1962 in Chelsea, London, England.     Ethel Florence E. Archer was the fourth of five children, born in Slougham, Sussex, to Ormond Andrew Archer, curate of Whitbourne, and his wife, Emily Agnes Moore Sinyanki. Although she had written The Book of Plain Cooking, she sought creative outlets through fiction and poetry. In 1908 she married artist Eugene John Wieland (c. 1880–1915), son of Thomas Thatcher and Eugenie Wieland of Sunnyfield House, Guisborough, Yorkshire; she nicknamed him “Bunco.” They were passionate lovers, as anonymously documented in a popular article written by a neighbor who watched their unselfconscious behavior through the open window of their “shabby old garret,” which was furnished with little more than an easel, two chairs, and a mirror.   Both Ethel and Eugene became heavily involved with both O.T.O. and A∴A∴ at this time, and Crowley would encourage Eugene to set up the publishing imprint Wieland & Co., which over the next couple of years would bring out subsequent issues of The Equinox, and several of Crowley’s other works.   Archer’s contributions to The Equinox were limited to love poems, and Victor B. Neuburg, noting that these addressed women, teasingly dubbed her Sappho; meanwhile, she was surprised that someone as fey as Neuburg would point the finger. Although she explained to everybody’s satisfaction that her poems described how she imagined a man might see her, she nevertheless adopted Sappho as her colorful moniker. Both Neuburg and Crowley intrigued her, and she spent long hours at the Equinox offices. During this period she published the book The Whirlpool which featured an introduction by Crowley. She later published the book The Hieroglyph in 1932.   Both she and Wieland would eventually part with Crowley, and Wieland would go on to serve with the 19th Battalion in the Great War, reaching the rank of sergeant. He would die in a Canadian hospital on 5 October 1915, as a result of injuries sustained at Loos, and be buried at Le Treport Military Cemetery. Archer would continue to publish occasional books, poetry, and essays throughout her life.
