Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 27 January 1914
Opus XIV
The Fourteenth Working
[Tuesday, January 27 — Wednesday, January 28, 1914.]
The Temple opened on the stroke of midnight, and closed at 1:07 A.M. die Mercurii, Fra. O.S.V. [Crowley] being completely exhausted. The Jovian phenomena continue with steadiness, but not with such force as to enable to say that the success of the operation is assured. During the afternoon we went to the house of a lay sister, [Jane Chéron] and invoked the Lord Juppiter by incense of his sacred herb. [opium] This rested us mentally and physically, but caused some illness of a slight and temporary order.
