Man 
Cara Soror, 
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 
In previous letters I hope I have been able to give you 
some idea of the initiated conception of the Macrocosm, and 
also to have made it clear to you why we must all use a 
symbolic language, and the necessity of constructing a special 
alphabet as the basis of our conversations about Magick. 
I have also furnished you with charts of this alphabet. It 
would of course have been too clumsy and cumbersome to 
put all the different systems of symbol on to the Tree of 
Life. That Tree is indeed the basis of all our classification, 
and I hope by now you have got fairly familiar with the 
process of sticking everything that turns up on its correct 
branch of the Tree. 
In your last letter you thank me for having made clear to 
you the initiated teaching with regard to the Universe; and 
you now very rightly enquire "this being so, where do we 
come in?" You hold up to me one of the oldest axioms of 
the Qabalah. "That which is above is like that which is 
below," and you ask me for details. What, you enquire, is the 
constitution of Man? With what parts of the Great System is 
the Little System to coincide?

to the description given in my essay on Man in my small 
book Little Essays Toward Truth. 
In some respects indeed this description is not as clear as I 
could have wished. The fact is that this Essay was written
