The story

In 1947, Trinity College students Symonds (a theologian) and Alex (a scientist) visit the elderly Aleister Crowley. Crowley discusses the possibility of resurrecting from the dead with the help of sex magic rituals. The students deliver a letter, from which Crowley learns that one of his students gave away the secret of the "Moon Child" ritual to a science fiction writer.
