BEINGS I HAVE SEEN

by-law; in fact, I shall ask you to be content with Buer as far 
as details go; I never saw anything of importance with purely 
physical sight with anything like the clarity of my adventure 
on Mont Collon. 
Yes, as I think it over, that by-law is to thank. This Spring 
I saw very plainly, on four separate occasions, various beings 
of another order than ours. I was ass enough to tell one or 
two pupils about it. ... 
And I've never been able to see any more. This, however, it 
is a positive duty to tell you. One can acquire the power of 
seeing, with this kind of sight that is neither wholly normal 
nor wholly astral, all the natural inhabitants of the various 
places that one reaches in one's travels; one can make 
intimate contact with individual 'elementals' as closely as one 
can with human beings or animals, although the relation is 
rarely continuous or permanent. 
The conditions of such intercourse are complex: (a) one 
must have the necessary degree of initiation, 
magical 
efficiency, and natural ability; (b) one must be at the time in 
the appropriate magical state, or mood; (c) both parties must 
desire to make the contact, or else one must be lawfully the 
superior, a master and slave relationship, (d) the magical 
conditions at the time must be suitable and propitious; e.g., 
one would not make love to a salamandrine during a 
sandstorm. Of course, like all operations , any such efforts 
must be justified by their consonance with one's True Will. 
On this note I end this abortive letter. 
Love is the law, love under will. 
Yours fraternally,
