Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Rex de Arte Regia Sunday, 13 December 1914
Opus[1] XIII
2.35 p.m. approximately. Same as VIII [Grace Harris].
Object: To become One with the Lord.
(Things had cleared up for me this a.m. World article, date with Quinn [John Quinn], etc., so this was my weekly Thanksgiving Service; and therefore by this object I meant (1) to worship the Holy One by identity, (2) to make others worship me.)
The Operation was highly orgiastic, considering the low and venal type of assistant. But the Elixir was very difficult to recover from the cucurbit.
Result: I got a food identity—magical, not up to Samahdi though—and ‘saw myself as Ph[allos] walking’.
4.50 p.m. A woman, Dorothy von Palmerburg, fell straight down for me.
9.0 p.m. Had a great time doing good magic and getting the people interested. Aimée [Aimée Gouraud] in particular very cordial indeed. Also, another victim, red hair and Aries I think. Perhaps X at last!
28 Jan. 1916 E.V. All this latter part failed.
1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.]
