After Crowley
Hirsig spent the winter in Paris, France. There her financial problems continued, although Crowley biographer Lawrence Sutin rejects the assertion of earlier writers that she worked as a prostitute. She continued to work for Crowley and the promulgation of Thelema for at least three years.
She later married William George Barron, with whom she had a son, Alexander Barron (4 Dec 1925-?)
On March 13, 1926 Alma Hirsig, the sister of Crowley’s ex-Scarlet Woman Leah Hirsig, more commonly known as Mrs. Marian Dockerill, published her expose on Aleister Crowley, on 'Oom the Omnipotent' Pierre Bernard (yogi) and others in a series of articles which began running on this date in the New York Journal, titled "My Life in a Love Cult, A Warning to All Young Girls".
Hirsig later rejected Crowley's status as a prophet, while still recognizing the Law of Thelema. Ultimately she returned to her work as a schoolteacher in America. John Symonds, "Crowley's most hostile biographer," claimed to find rumors of her converting to Roman Catholicism.

Famous quotes containing the word crowley:
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
