“Crowley wrote Parsons, "You have got me completely puzzled by your remarks about the elemental -the danger of discussing or copying anything [Parsons' revelations were still a closely-guarded secret]. I thought I had a most morbid imagination, as good as any man's, but it seems I have not. I cannot form the slightest idea what you can possibly mean." (April 19, 1946.)

To him Crowley wrote, "Apparently he, or Hubbard, or somebody, is producing a Moonchild. I get fairly frantic when I contemplate the idiocy of these louts.”
