Aleister Crowley Diary Entry [undated] Between Monday, 14 November and Saturday, 26 November 1898
Notes of Astral Travel
No. 8. The last vision utilized.
At family prayers I assume I assume astral vestments as in 7 and living wand.
I perceive my cousin kneeling. Above and beyond him a demonic figure (somewhat the stage Mephistopheles) with a sarcastic smile. This demon is beyond my exorcism; only, when he puts forth his hand as if to claim [. . .] I strike it with my wand and it is consumed. Encouraged, I renew my attempts; but am compelled to return by close of prayer.
