Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to C. F. Russell
THE EQUINOX 63, Wash. Sq. New York City
Editor-in-Chief ALEISTER CROWLEY Telephone Spring 4319
June 17, 1919
Care frater,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The power of the 'black magic' Levi [Eliphas Levi] mentions was that it was a revolt of the subconsciousness against a repressed conscious. You have got a certain complex which I can help you solve one day, but it has nothing to do with denying any beliefs. That is one of the things which can wait a week or so. But unless you have the repression, you have not the force; that is of the essence of this kind of magic, and, because of this duality it is called black magic. Your paragraph on sex is particularly well written. Never write anything like it again, please; and never say anything about it to anybody. You have not got the whole formula, but you have got enough to make it very desirable that you should establish a very direct understanding with me personally, not discussing such matters with any other person soever. I shall explain why when the time comes. This is a very important matter indeed; please be patient and discreet.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally
