Mary Butts Diary Entry Tuesday, 15 March 1921
No success with Crowley’s receipt for going on to the astral plane. But when I write, or am moved in certain oblique ways, I do it inevitably. Is magic too direct an approach? All profound perception is in some way or seems to be in some way oblique. Then it is fruitful. Direct magical practice fatigues and rather disgusts me (I except the evocations and the earth pentagrams.)
