Symonds & Grant 1972 seem confused who “3” is in Rex de Arte Regia Series Anno XIII: clearly it must almost always be Roddie Minor: the MS of operation 41. clearly shows an annotation in Crowley’s hand above “3”: “Roddie Minor”, yet they assume it to be Anna Miller in operations “61-63”, because “Anna” is named (with “Walter”) immediately thereunder, but the descriptions, listed as “a.-c.” mention only “W.” and “3”.
Next, in “and then “66”, the “assistants” are “as 3. and T.H.T.I.T.I. Soror Ahitha IX [degree]”, but it seems clear by comparing Rex’s “66” with Liber 729’s “February 16, 1918” entry, both recording the same event, noting the next single use of “T.H.T.I.T.I. Soror Ahitha” (opn. “67”), and the subsequent reference in Rex to “As 64”, that only one woman assisted in all these "opns". That woman is Roddie Minor.
She is, according records of which only those by Crowley himself survive, simultaneously, “Roddie Minor” (so called in opn. “3”) and “Soror Ahitha IX [degree]”. May we presume Ms. Minor received that degree O.T.O (Initiate of the Sanctuary of the Gnosis) from Crowley sometime prior but proximate to 9-11 February 1918, and yet by April 7 hadn’t been “put… through first III degrees”, a hardly surprising initiatic development in the exigencies of the "battlefield temple" (I owe this strophe to Shiva X [degree] King of Australia OTO [Inc. -EGP.], though I knew him simply as NUMA when he spoke these poetic words I shamelessly plagiarise here now).
In Liber 729, IX [degree] O.T.O isn’t mentioned until February 16. And see the curious and fascinating exchange between Crowley, Roddie Minor (scrying) and C. S. Jones from Liber 729 below regarding the identity of Soror Achitha:
“Ach[ita] says R[oddie] M[inor] and Ach. are two./ T[herion = E. A. Crowley]: Describe Achita./ A[chita answers]: She is a woman rather dark, medium tall, neither fat nor thin. Her age is between 17 and 27./ Had long discussion. Now Ach. says she and R. M. are one… T.:…Do ef bio,follows… How do you explain her appearance in your consciousness??/ A.: Born of magic and Our Lady. Our Lady was the door through which magic put her in./Arcteon [C. S. Jones]: Do you consider it possible to remain Achita all the time and not return to Roddie Minor?/ A.: In a way yes and in a way no. Roddie Minor is only earth and works and lives. Achita is a spirit. Achita is one function, one thing among many in Roddie Minor… Is Achitha part of Roddie Minor or a separate human intelligence? A.: 43. (The sex self.) XIV. (= i.) (arrow through rainbow = self shooting up through ecstasy or orgasm.)”
