Hi again... I think it is a wonderful poem. Many must know what

Lyric of Love to Leah.


                                             Come, my darling, let us dance
                                             To the moon that beckons us
                                             To dissolve our soul in trance
                                             Heedless of the hideous
                                             Heat & hate of Sirius---
                                             Shun his baneful brilliance!


                                             Let us dance beneath the palm
                                             Moving in the moonlight, frond
                                             Wooing frond above the calm
                                             Of the ocean diamond
                                             Sparkling to the sky beyond
                                             The enchantment of our psalm.


                                             Let us dance, my mirror of
                                             Perfect passion won to peace
                                             Let us dance, my treasure trove,
                                             On the marble terraces
                                             Carven in pallid embroideries.
                                             For the vestal veil of Love.


                                             Heaven awakes to encompass us,
                                             Hell awakes its jubilance
                                             In our hearts mysterious
                                             Marriage of the azure expanse,
                                             With the scarlet brilliance
                                             Of the Moon with Sirius.


                                             Velvet swathes our lissome limbs
                                             Languid lapped by sky & sea
                                             Soul through sense & spirit swims
                                             Through the pregnant porphyry
                                             Dome of lapis-lazuli:---
                                             Heart of silence, hush our hymns.


                                             Come my darling; let us dance
                                             Through the golden galaxies
                                             Rhythmic swell of circumstance
                                             Beaming passion's argosies:
                                             Ecstasy entwined with ease,
                                             Terrene joy transcending trance!


                                             Thou my scarlet concubine
                                             Draining heart's blood to the lees
                                             To empurple those divine
                                             Lips with living luxuries
                                             Life importunate to appease
                                             Drought insatiable of wine!


                                             Tunis in the tremendous trance  
                                             Rests from day's incestuous
                                             Traffic with the radiance
                                             Of her sire---& over us
                                             Gleams the intoxicating glance
                                             Of the Moon & Sirius.


                                             Take the ardour of my impearled
                                             Essence that thy shoulders seek
                                             To intensify the curled
                                             Candour of the eyes oblique,
                                             Eyes that see the seraphic sleek
                                             Lust bewitch the wanton world.


                                             Come, my love, my dove, & pour
                                             From thy cup the serpent wine
                                             Brimmed & breathless---secret store
                                             Of my crimson concubine
                                             Surfeit spirit in the shrine---
                                             Devil--Goddess--Virgin--Whore.


                                             Afric sands ensorcel us,
                                             Afric seas & skies entrance
                                             Velvet, lewd & luminous
                                             Night surveys our soul askance!
                                             Come my love, & let us dance
                                             To the Moon & Sirius!


              Written by Aleister Crowley, (A . ' . A . ' .), Tunis, 8th. of August, 1923.  e.v.

Have any of you read this rather bizarre and sensationalist pulp work by Alma Hirsig (Leah's older sister), writing in 1928 under the pseudonym Marilyn Dockerill,
"My Life in a Love Cult: A Warning to Young Girls"?!?

http://omnipotentoom.com/archives/838

If one can take anything it says as some hallucinatory twist on reality,  it does give some background information on Leah's family.  (Marilyn/Alma claims to be an escapee from Pierra aka
Omnipotent Oom Barnard's tantric cult after being hyponotized by a doctor in New York, and laments that she has taken her sister to meet Crowley in Greenwich village.  Much of
what she says is verifiably untrue--for instance her sister is probably not a virgin if she has a son named "Hansie"--but other parts very superficially criss-cross dates and places mentioned
by both Crowley and Richard Spence  in his recent espionage work on Crowley. She purports to tell about tantric magic in Germany -- one wonders how or if she witnessed or
partook in it-- at about the same time as when Richard Spence, in his "Agent 666" book, has Crowley and Leah taking a trip to Thuringia. (Getting this far into the read, of course, means
tolerating her constant references to "Satanic" this and "devil worship" that. )

FWIW... wondered what anyone else thought of this.
