Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Rex de Arte Regia

Wednesday, 14 November 1914

 

Opus[1] V

 

 

10.30 p.m. to 11.30 p.m. Elsie Edwards. Obese Irish prostitute of maternal Taurus type. 3 dollars.

     

Object: Thanksgiving. The Glory of the sacred and the Establishment of the Holy Kingdom in this country.

     

The unattractiveness of the assistant made the operation difficult. But it was necessary to begin somehow and so far New York has shown me none of its sex side. May the Lord grant me favour in this also. (P.S. 28 Jan 1916 E.V. The Lord granted it: blessed be He.)

     

I find myself apt to concentrate on the articulation of the words that formulate the Will rather than on the substance of the Will itself. This is surely (a priori) wrong.
