Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Rex de Arte Regia

Sunday, 7 February 1915

 

Opus[1] XXXI

 

 

10.57 p.m. Close approximation within two minutes. Temple: lights on after Inv[ocation of] Mercury and I A O. Weather chilly and after snow and rain, getting colder again.

     

BABALON, manibus.

     

Object: $20,000.

     

The Operation was not bad, and the Elixir plentiful and good; but perhaps the mental control was too strong, the Operation as it were too intentional. However, the Goddess was well formulated and connected with the Object by the idea of a dower. A portion of the Elixir was ceremonially applied to Ic-zod-heh-ca.[2]

     


 

Result: See XXXII.

 

 

1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.]

2—[The Great King of the North in Dr. John Dee's Enochian system.]
