Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 23 November 1909
[See Introduction to The Vision and the Voice for background information] [Map of Crowley's travel through Algeria]
A nice slack day at Aumale [Modern-day Sour El Ghozlane], chiefly billiards and such things as playing footer with an old tin can, wrestling, and boxing. M. Lesur offered me the aperitif, and we chatted awhile. Aumale is really rather a jolly place. The bottle turned out to be hopelessly poxed and we o.s.j.ed[1] it.
In the evening I did the 28th Æthyr.
1—"Over the sweet Jordaned" it—slang for throwing it away.
