Frank Bennett Diary Entry Sunday, 4 September 1921
Sunday. Woke at 5.30 a.m. Got up, washed and shaved. Washed my towel. Read Mary Butts' novel Ashe of Rings. Finished reading at noon. Received from the Beast, my Holy Guru—
The Invocation Magically Restored with the Significance Of the BARBAROUS NAMES Etymologically or Cabalistically determined and Paraphrased In English
3 to 5 pm. Read though this Ritual, and now determine to carry out the Great Work therein contained. I will think it over tonight, and follow out some plan of work for each day. Tried to bind mind and body. Explored tangle of being a separate being. This was not a success, as I could not get away from the subconscious self, so tried to be conscious in the sub-conscious self as a separate being. I think this is best. Did this from 6 to 7.
