Booth, M. (2000). A magick life: The biography of Aleister Crowley. (pp. 476-479). London: Hodder & Stoughton. [Worldcat] In the austere postwar years, Crowley had little money. His main source of income was the Agapé Lodge of the OTO in Pasadena, California. Germer, living in New York, also sent him a percentage of OTO initiation fees. [...] The Agapé Lodge was founded in 1915 by Wilfred T. Smith, an initiate of Charles Stansfeld Jones' Vancouver branch, who broke away from Jones.

Book: The Beast 666 (re: how to attract an elemental) (1997)
In the spring of 1945, Parsons met a new aspirant to the Great Work, a young man called Ron Hubbard. Hubbard's magical potential was very great and he made a considerable impression upon the members of Agape Lodge, especially on Betty, the mistress of Dr Parsons; she soon found herself sleeping with him. Frater 210 (Dr Parsons) was not unduly upset about this; for he had decided to follow even more closely in the Beast's footsteps and find, by magical means, a Scarlet Woman, his own true … [Read more...] about Book: The Beast 666 (re: how to attract an elemental) (1997)
Book: The Beast 666 (re: moon child; homunculus; lunar intelligence) (1997)

He also tried his hand at a longish novel called The Net or The Butterfly Net, the butterfly being the ancient Chinese symbol for … [Read more...] about Book: The Beast 666 (re: moon child; homunculus; lunar intelligence) (1997)
Book: Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (1992)
The name Babalon is numerically equivalent to 156, whereas the corrupt, apocalyptic form, Babylon, totals 165—a number of no particular qabalistic significance. One-five-six, on the other hand, conceals many ideas relating to the function of the Scarlet Woman. For instance, it is the number of TzIVN, Zion, the Holy Mountain; it is also the number of the City of the Pyramids beneath the Night of Pan, which may be entered and explored through the magical use of Babalon. It is also, according to … [Read more...] about Book: Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (1992)
