Harris Visits Crowley
The author William Holt in his autobiography describes how he accompanied Harris to Crowley's lodgings at 93 Jermyn Street, Piccadilly. While Harris drew some charcoal sketches, there was a discussion on The Book of Thoth that Crowley was writing. After a lull in the conversation, Crowley disappeared, and returned with his drawing entitled Lam, to the obvious discomfort of Holt. Crowley claimed that Lam was “his guru”.
