Leila also played violin for Crowley's "Rites of Eleusis" in 1910.
The names of the seven Rites are
The Rite of "Saturn", "Jupiter", "Mars", "Sol", "Venus", "Mercury" and "Luna". Crowley claimed that the
Rites were designed to inspire the audience with 'religious ecstasy', and that merely reading them would help people "cultivate their highest faculties". Some in the popular press thought otherwise, and considered the
Rites an immoral display, riddled with 'blasphemy and erotic suggestion.'
