In 1913 Crowley and Neuburg again joined forces in a homosexual ritual magic operation known as 'the Paris Working.'

In the midst of these, Crowley put the ideas of sex and 'magick' together and performed his first 'sex magick' ritual. In 1909 Crowley took Neuburg to Algiers, and they set off into the North African desert, where they performed a series of occult rituals. Crowley initiated Neuburg into his secret society, the A ∴A ∴, giving him the name 'Frater Omnia Vincam.' He also initiated a homosexual relationship with Neuburg.
