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 by John Symonds (1997)
In the spring of 1945, Parsons met a new aspirant to the Great Work, a young man called Ron Hubbard.

It is also, according to … [Read more...] about Book: Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (1992)

It is an attempt to supply a key to the work of an Adept whose vast knowledge of occultism was unsurpassed by any previous Western authority. I have emphasized the similarity between … [Read more...] about Book: Aleister Crowley & The Hidden God (1992)
