- The whole bit about Gardner hiring Crowley is BS and well known as such.
- Perhaps I should put a long article researched by a Thelemite on the
- subject onto slopoke. Gardner obviously drew from the Key of Solomon but
- Crowley didn't write anything for Gardner. I'm a Gardnerian initiate and
- I've also read Crowley so I think I would know.
