George Cecil Jones
George Cecil Jones Jr. (10 January 1873 - 30 October 1960),〔''Who's Who in Science'', 1913〕) was a British chemist, occultist, one time member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and co-founder of the magical order A∴A∴. According to author and occultist Aleister Crowley,〔Crowley, Aleister: ''The Confessions of Aleister Crowley'', pg. 172〕 Jones lived for some time in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England, working at a metallurgy there.
==Association with Aleister Crowley==
Born in Croydon, Jones was educated at City of London School, Central Technical College and Birmingham University. He was the son of George Cecil Jones Sr.〔 He studied analytical chemistry at Central Technical College in South Kensington and Birmingham University and became employed in the profession upon graduation. On 12 July 1895 he became a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He is perhaps best known for the pivotal role he played in the life of British Aleister Crowley, stoking Crowley's youthful enthusiasm for magick. Jones introduced Crowley to the Golden Dawn, which Jones was a member of, going by the Latin magical motto ''Volo Noscere''. On 25 January 1905, he married Ethel Melinda Baker at Balham. She was the sister of Golden Dawn member Julian Levett Baker, who had introduced Crowley to Jones. In 1906 Jones and Crowley would found the A∴A∴, taking some of the lessons from their experiences with the Golden Dawn as well as the teachings of Crowley's The Book of the Law, and incorporating them into their new order, which Crowley would head.
Jones would also contribute to Crowley's book of essays on and references for Qabalah, ''777 and other Qabalistic writings''. In 1911 he unsuccessfully sued a newspaper, the ''Looking Glass'', for libellously associating him with Crowley.〔'King's Bench Division. The Equinox. Jones v. The Looking Glass Publishing Company (Limited) and Others', ''The Times'', 27 April 1911.〕
Little is known about his life except for his roles in the history of the Golden Dawn and as a friend and associate of Crowley. He retired as a chemist in 1939. In the 1950s Jones and his wife were living at 14 Elphinstone Road, Hastings. His wife died on 4 January 1952 at Hastings. He died on 30 October 1960 at St. Helens Hospital in Hastings. They had at least two children: Eileen Cecil Jones (b. 1906) and George Alan Jones (b. 1910).
