W. Dawson Sadler

Born: Unknown.

Died: Unknown.

W. Dawson Sadler was a conventional 32º Freemason, with esoteric leanings, with whom Crowley was in regular contact from 1944 though 1946. Sadler initially contacted Crowley about purchasing copies of The Book of Thoth, and an acquaintance developed. Crowley clearly regarded him as a potential candidate for membership in the O.T.O., and although not certain, it seems likely that Crowley initiated him into the Order during one of their meetings. He certainly put considerable effort into answering Sadler’s questions.

Copy #30 of The Book of Thoth went to W. Dawson Sadler.
