- Robert Mathieson says that all of the Crowley material in the documents he's
- studied were from published Crowley material. This was in response to Josh's
- statement that GBG paid AC to write some of the BoS material. There is a very
- simple explanation for the myth that GBG paid AC to write the BoS. GBG
- *bought* an OTO charter from AC shortly before AC's death. This is clearly
- explained in Doreen Valiente's _The Rebirth of Witchcraft_. Anyone who is
- making claims about the early days of Gardnerianism really needs to read this
- book before saying anything. Doreen was GBG's second High Priestess, and the
- person who wrote or rewrote most of what is in modern Gardnerian BoS's.
