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:
“I was asked to memorise what I did not understand; and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
