Scarlet Women - Ninette? Medhb - Jun 16, 2007 - 11:39 PM Post subject: Ninette?
Greetings Friends,
I stumbled upon a reference to Crowley's other mistress Ninette while he was in Cefalu. It also says they had a daughter Astarte Lulu Panthea together. I've found that she was born on November 25th, 1922.
I believe Ninette's first capacity was that of nurse. But, of course, don't add any information at the request of the Moderator. I have edited this on June 16 with the minor details I've been able to srub out. Perhasp Ninette was nothing more than an aversion for Crowely and had no real contribution to his Work. Though he did dedicate "Diary of a Drugfiend" to Lulu

Medhb,
Please re-read the Forum Guidelines.
<em>
Posts should NOT take the form of newbie questions along the lines of "Where do I find information on..." (unless the question is quite specific and of a reasonably scholarly nature, and/or the information being requested is not generally known or available). Posts of this kind are likely to be deleted by the Moderator. Such questions are by their very nature distracting, and it is not the job of any member to perform the duties of a researcher for anyone else. This policy is to the advantage of the forums as a whole, since it is normal for genuinely knowledgeable persons (those best placed to answer such questions) not to reply to that type of question; and so any replies are likely to be written by other novices, and will therefore tend to be incomplete or even misleading. </em>
LAShTAL.COM is not a "beginners" site, a certain level of knowledge is assumed...
Please check any of the many biographies for details of Crowley's involvement with Ninette Shumway.

My sincere apologies. I have been researching and have found material from this very site (and others) though not via the internal search function, which of course I tried before I posted. I will re-read the Forum Guidelines to ensure that I fully understand them. Please be assured I had no expectation that anyone would perform the duties of researcher for me. I have seen plenty of exhanges of knowledge on this site and that was my only hope. That anyone with any knowledge on the matter might share.

the info regarding Ninette in 'Perdarabo' really showed her to be quite a strong and dedicated woman. She hung on at the Abby for years after Crowley had been expelled under quite trying conditions. I found myself having a great deal of respect for the woman.
What exactly happened to her eventually is a bit sketchy, if I remember right.
