Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Rex de Arte Regia Wednesday, 5 May 1915
Opus[1] L
11.45 a.m. Time pre-arranged by calculation. Gaslight. Weather
As X.
Object: An independent fortune suited to my rank. But this was mixed with ideas of immediate cash, particularly $1,000.
The Operation was gloriously orgiastic. I was in Siddhasana, and the orgasm was very prolonged. The Elixir was of fine quality. A small portion was sacrificed to Ic-zod-heh-ca.[2]
Result: During the whole of 6 May I was the toy of strangest circumstance. With no less than ten people, I was hindered from doing my business by the most curious accidents.
7 May 2.33 p.m. Lusitania sank. ? any connection.
23 May. It is really very curious. Ever since this Opus I have been living as if I had the independent fortune referred to.
