Career
He is perhaps best known for the pivotal role he played in the life of British Aleister Crowley, stoking Crowley"s youthful enthusiasm for magick. She was the sister of Golden Dawn member Julian Levett Baker, who had introduced Crowley to Jones. In 1906 Jones and Crowley would found the A∴A∴, taking some of the lessons from their experiences with the Golden Dawn as well as the teachings of Crowley"s The Book of the Law, and incorporating them into their new order, which Crowley would head
Jones would also contribute to Crowley"s book of essays on and references for Qabalah, 777 and other Qabalistic writings.
In 1911 he unsuccessfully sued a newspaper, the Looking Glass, for libellously associating him with Crowley. He retired as a chemist in 1939.
He died on 30 October 1960 at Saint Helens Hospital in Hastings. They had at least two children: Eileen Cecil Jones (b 1906) and George Alan Jones (b 1910).
Membership
