Would somebody please clarify which lady in the gallery photo is Lady Frieda Harris. Also why is (and "friend") accentuated so?

Hi, Frieda Harris is the older woman with hand on car. The other woman is her friend Catharine.

To highlight the fact that her identity was not specified in any of the reproductions of the image in my archives.
Thanks, Nick, for the extra information. |

Thanks for clarifying that Nick and Paul. I previously thought it was the other way around.
It is also my favourite picture of Crowley, he looks very smart and dignified.

Hello Jack
Nick is of course quite correct, the other lady is Catherine - and I can add that her surname is Falconer. However, I don't know much more about her or her role in Crowley or Harris's respective stories!

Thank you Marcus. Catherine is certainly a beautiful lady. I'm sure Aleister would have thought so too.

Seems I was right in my assumption. I happened upon a well priced copy of Remembering Aleister Crowley by Kenneth Grant this week, it having been on my want but not necessary list for a while.
On the letter of page 41 Crowley asks Grant to bring him a picture of Katherine. In the subsequent commentary Mr Grant writes:
Catherine* Falconer: A friend of Crowley who served in the women's Royal Naval Service. She paid occasional visits to `Netherwood` during my stay there. He sketched her portrait in pastels. The picture survives. In a letter to Louis Wilkinson, Crowley wrote: "This is the Girl of Girls! You saw her impudently smiling face on my walls at 93 {Jermyn St.} Now look for her, the other end is prehensile; Gods greatest gift to any women."
* Crowleys typist was in error.
Im not sure I fully understand what Crowley means in his letter to Louis Wilkinson when he says:
"..Now look for her, the other end is prehensile; Gods greatest gift to any women."

Look up 47 on the meanings of primes list in 777. |

From AC's diary Dec.9th 1938:
"K.M.F. says that people can fuck properly without being intelligent: the combination is rare. At least, usually, the intelligentsia can't fuck. True. "
K.M.F is Katharine M. Falconer.
OK |

Thank you Zardoz. That is an incredible reference! I take it you refer to Sepher Sephiroth? In which case the entry: "To clutch, hold " Would confirm what I was thinking.
It would be nice to see an image of the picture KG refers to.
By the way. Does anybody know which gentleman in the personality's gallery photograph of Louis Wilkinson is he? The photo is accompanied by an excerpt of Hymn to Pan. |

| Your welcome, Jack. I meant the list called The Meaning of the Primes from 11 to 97 found on p. xxv in 777. But the listing in Sepher Sephiroth also relates. |

I believe Louis Wilkinsons to be the taller man on the left and his companion I suspect to be John Cowper Powys.
OK |

Apologies Zardoz for my ignorance of the book and misinterpreting your reference. In all the years of being with 777, which was also my first Crowley acquisition from the lending library, I have only made sensible use out of the tables and Sepher Sephiroth. I'm not particularly academically minded and I confess a lot of the rest dosn`t mean much to me and I have overlooked it. The amazing correlation between the two is exquisite though !
Thank you again OK  |
