Aeon,
I was indeed wrong about Regardie not being mentioned in the book. He got at least 8 sentences for his two years work. I hadn't quite made it that far in the book when I wrote my earlier post. And yes, Regardie did write about the Beast. Both in the book you cited and in Tree of Life written in 1932, wherein he calls Crowley only "Therion" and not "Master Therion." Also, he says "I hold no brief for the poet (Crowley)...."
And my theories about Fuller's continued avoidance of Crowley, are just that, my own theories.
What constitutes Dion Fortune's "heavy involvement" with Crowley? There is no mention of her involvment with Crowley in Richardson's bio and I remember reading somewhere that Crowley made overtures to her but was shunned. Certainly she made fun of him directly in some of her articles and obliquely when she used him as the model for the evil mage in her books. She was however indebted to Crowley for "spilling the beans" and breaking his GD oaths by his publications, particularly in the Equinox where he passed off Mathers'work as his own. Thereafter, she could publish her material with impunity. Curiously, she did meet Fuller.
I ordered the Crowley and St. Paul bios at the same time. They seemed to me to have a lot in common.
