Remarks: |
It's
generally considered that Crowley wrote the majority of this
book while staying at Evangeline Adams' cottage in Hebron, New
Hampshire.3 Crowley's manuscript was
used by Adams for this book and
Astrology: Your Place in the
Sun. She deleted much of Crowley's
introduction, added some new chapters, tables and lists and
published these two books under her own name.4
______________________________
On 28 December 1936 Crowley wrote the following note to Evangeline Adam's
publisher, Dodd, Mead & Co.:
Gentlemen,
My attention has just been drawn to a book published by
you in 1930 e.v., Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars
by Evangeline Adams. Practically the whole of this book, except
the hack work calculations, is taken from a manuscript of mine.
It is quite probable that the rest of the manuscript has been
printed in the other two books by my late friend and colleague.
My arrangement with her was that we should divide the profits in
equal moieties. I should be greatly obliged for information as
to the other two books, and an accounting.
Yours sincerely,
Aleister Crowley2 |

Comments
by
Aleister
Crowley: |
I dined at
Cosegrave's house one night. He had asked Evangeline Adams to
meet me as being a famous astrologer. The meeting led to a
lengthy association. She wanted me to write a book on astrology
for her. The plan failed through her persistent efforts to cheat
me out of the profits, and her obstinate ignorance of the
elementary facts of nature combined with an unconquerable
antagonism to the principles of applying common sense to the
science.
