Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 22 January 1914
Opus XII
The Twelfth Working
[Wednesday, January 22 — Friday, January 23.]
The banquet restored Fra. L.T. [Victor B. Neuburg] to a comparatively normal condition. At 9:55 P.M. die Jovis the Temple was opened as usual. The sacrifice was offered, Fra O.S.V. [Crowley] perinde ac cadaver,[1] and the Temple closed at 11:00 P.M. Fra O.S.V. was completely exhausted. Thus endeth the First Series of the complete Working of Juppiter.
Friday A.M.
There is certainly some result of these invocations; for matters move strangely. Five people who arranged to come to see me in Paris all failed; and both business letters (urgent) and private letters remain unanswered. I assume that this is the fallow period which follows the sowing of the seed. But hermes produced instantly a direct result. I take it that Juppiter being a slow and steady God moves not so easily but with far more power.
Friday P.M.
I mentioned this matter to Fra. L.T. As regards letters his experience is precisely similar to my own.
