The Rosicrucian Scandal

THE “ROSICRUCIAN” SCANDAL Mr. Aleister Crowley, Editor of “The Equinas,” having Published the facts concerning the *Rosicrucians” in various hhumbers of that magazine, has been attacked by the gang he exposed in such way that he has had no opportunity to make clear the facts in a more public manner. Mr. Crowley’ is debarred from taking legal action by the reasons set forth hereafter. I have therefore determined to publish a striking form the truth of the matter, less to defend him (he hhas no need of it) than to bring to an end the villanies of the Rosierucian” sang. I have proceeded on the principle that Mathers is obliged cither to tell the truth oF to repeat The latter are indicated by inverted commas, It is against the express wish of Mr. Crowley thatI in his own phrase, * played scavenger"; but I rather break my Vow of Holy Obedience than allow his work to be hindered, as 1 cannot but maintain that it has been hindered hitherto, u BO VINCE
