Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Sunday, 12 May 1901

 

 

L[ove's]L[abour's]L[ost] I ii 96-98

     

Slept a great deal.

     

Magick Ceremonial at night, followed by attempt at (Kama Rupa) Astral Projection. I prefer the Esoteric Theosophist Society's 7 fold division for these practical purposes. I think Physical Astral Projection should be preceded by a (ceremonial) "loosening of the girders of the soul"—so should anything! How to do it is the great problem. I am inclined to believe in drugs—if one only knew the right drug! Dr. Jekyll knew. But after seeing that cocaine corpse in S[an] F[rancisco]—ugh!
