Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Rex de Arte Regia

Opus[1] XXXIV

 

 

8.54 p.m. Weather warm but dry. Gaslight. I think this collocation of planets in the 5th [house] is splendid for the object here proposed. 5th house is Leo, Tiphereth and the Priest's path, especially Baphomet's.

     

As XIV.

     

Object: To be a worthy High Priest of the Lord Ph[allos] [Pan].

     

The Operation was extremely orgiastic throughout—even to this extent that I merely remember a being concentrating on the Object and whirlwinds of pleasure and pain.

     

The character of the Elixir was also excellent and at the same time I must confess that the critical faculty is pretty well abrogated. This is the result of using 171 [Cocaine], I suspect.

     


 

Result: I think good; people at Invocations have been very impressed.
