The Brothers of the Yellow Sign

Aleister Crowley suggested that Malcolm Quarrie may have gone to Italy to see "Il Fratelli di Signo Giallo", an artistic circle based in Rome (at least that's crowley's recollection) that meets once a year to perform a single private performance of a particular play.

Crowley dislikes drama, and as such has no interest in "The King in Yellow", so he knows nothing more about this.

Known members of this brotherhood are Quarrie, Thomas Villiers, Roberto Anzalone and Giuseppe Colombo. The brothers are the secret backers of Quarrie's 'Pilgrimage of Grace'.

Villiers described the beliefs of the Brotherhood as being based on the idea that Christianity is a corrupted version of the truth of Hastur. The strange theology of the Brothers has [[byakhee] as angels and says that the Christian Trinity is an echo of the trinity of Hastur (the father), the King in Yellow (the son) and the Stranger, or Prophet (the holy ghost).

The Brothers seem to believe that the coming of the King in Yellow to Earth is the truth behing the Christian idea of the second coming and that as such it will be the greatest day in human history.
