I probably got typhus and typhoid mixed, but ulcerating enteritis is
reasonable in the situtation -- like getting side-tracked on a primary
symptom or condition from the underlying illness.
>feral cat's blood would be a convenient source for this,
Or bad food and any number of things, especially fecal contaminated water.
Here's Jane Wolf's eye-witness account and defense:
"A villifying report of what took place at the time of the death of
Raoul Loveday, at the Abbey of Thelema in Cefalu, having come to my
attention, leads me to write a brief account of that unhappy event, as I
was not only there during Raoul's brief sojourn at the Abbey, but I took
care of him on his deathbed.
"He arrived in Cefalu from London late in November, or early
December, 1922, pale and aenemic, and had just recovered from a rather
severe septic throat.
"The weather at the time was sunshiny and warm. Raoul basked in
this sunshine, spent much time out of doors, and soon showed signs of
improvement.
"By January he was taking long walks, and one one of these
occasions, being thirsty, drank water from a small stream which was
'polutted', and was therefore taboo. No one round about touched this
water, and Raoul had been cautioned about it, but forgot it, no doubt, at
the time of his thirst.
"A diarrhea set in, which after 10 or 12 days, became suddenly acute
on the day of his death, causing a sloughing off of the mucous membrances
of the intestines.
"During this period he had been under medical care, but without avail.
"That ceremonies of a sensational or ridiculous character were
performed during the passing, is a part of the desire of some people to
defile whatever they touch.
"As a matter of fact, no ceremonies of any nature took place during
his illness, or at the time of his death.
(signed) Jane Wolfe
It would appear that the cat-blood story originated with Raoul's wife,
probably in her book "Tiger Woman". Even though Jane does not mention
the "cat-sacrifice" question at all, she clearly attributes the infection
to polluted water. She does deny that ritual was performed during
Raoul's illness and at time of death. This omits daily ritual, perhaps
by oversight, especially the variation on Liber Resh, Will and
banishments routine at the Abbey. Other accounts of the events around
that time indicate that Raoul's wife was in an extreme state of anger and
tended to disrupt normal life at the Abbey, perhaps to an extent that
even routine daily ritual was not done. The goat story may have
originated in D.Wheatlie's fiction. Colin Wilson is notorious for making
these things up or jumping on the most negative rumors. Simonds tended
to include sensationalism and rumor in his account. Francis King
specialized in copying material from books and including wild tales from
interviews conducted immediately prior to his most recent book. King, in
particular, contradicts himself in successive books as his interview
sources replace one another. An example of King's unreliability is the
allegation in one of his books that W.T.Smith performed cunnilingus
during the Gnostic Mass at Agape Lodge. H.P.Smith, his wife later and
the Treasurer of Agape Lodge at the time, denies this vehemently. In my
experience, a Gnostic Mass set of the type seen in photographs of the old
Agape Masses makes this form of oral sex impossible so long as the script
of the Mass is followed -- the priest would break his neck getting down
there while the priestess is seated in the prescribed manner. Instances
of use of cunnilingus during irregular and unofficial performances of the
Gnostic Mass, in my experience, have always involved a departure from the
script -- usually with the celebrants behind the curtain, but in any
event not in the prescribed position.
