 See Crowley's Memorandum re John Jameson (12 May 1938 - 7 February 1939)

John B. Jameson, was an associate of Aleister Crowley's during the years 1938-1939. At the time Jameson was a wealthy young man, a member of the Theatre Arts Club, who divided his time between partying, travelling, and his thespian activities. He also had an interest in the occult, and collected Crowley's books, and eventually contacted the Beast with the hope of receiving occult tuition.

Crowley apparently persuaded Jameson to purchase a 'founder's share' in his venture selling Amrita, and it was from Jameson's flat at 6 Hasker Street, SW1, that Crowley tried to launch the business. Crowley also took up temporary residence in the building, with Jameson his landlord. For a time relations were close, and Crowley suggested making Jameson an 'heir' of sorts, and apparently even declared him "Acting Grand Treasurer General of the O.T.O.," although whether he ever did anything with respect to this office is unknown. Perhaps not surprisingly the two eventually fell out, most likely over disagreements about their financial and tenancy arrangements. Crowley later wrote bitterly in his diary:

John Jameson shows heroic rage

Against sick men of thrice his age.

Against sick women in his care.

Nothing John Jameson does not dare.

Yet opposition soon dries up

The frenzy of the Pansy Pup.
