"Of course there is a Jones lineage. It runs through his first inferior in the Order, Aleister Crowley 😀"
This is very interesting! I never knew this. Any more to share or any where I can look to find out more? How was Jones Crowley's superior in the order?"
I'm not quite sure what the question is. Cecil Jones was Crowley's superior in the Order. It was through him that AC first gained access to the Golden Dawn. The two of them left the GD together after the 1900 schism to join the A et O. When Crowley returned to England in 1906 in the middle of his Abramelin working, he reported to and consulted with Jones, which led to the mutual 5=6 reobligation for Day C. From those results, they decided to create A.'.A.'., and started working on it aggressively through the fall, leading to critical December results and decisions. As they formalized it, Jones assumed the 7=4 office of Praemonstrator and AC the 6=5 office of Imperator. Jones' name always comes above AC's name in the handwritten lineage lists on Probationer certificates.
This basic info is all over the place, e.g., Crowley's Confessions and other writings. Much of it is in my book on A.'.'A.'..
