Page "A∴A∴" Paragraph 2

After Crowley's death his student Karl Germer took over running the Order, but since Germer's death the situation has been less clear.

Various so-called " lineages " of the A ∴ A ∴ survive today that claim to be descended from Crowley.

One such lineage cites actress Jane Wolfe ( known as Soror Estai ) as the link.

Other lineages run through pupils of Marcelo Ramos Motta, a student of Germer.

Another lineage links itself to Crowley through Israel Regardie, claiming that he joined the A ∴ A ∴ when he became Crowley ’ s secretary in 1928, but distanced himself from the organization when the two men parted company four years later in 1932.

One more lineage runs through Grady McMurtry.

However presently there exists no single undisputed central authority of the A ∴ A ∴ such as existed under Crowley and Germer ; nor has any surviving mechanism for the transference of such temporal authority been preserved down to the present day.
