Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Rex de Arte Regia

Sunday, 6 June 1915

 

Opus[1] LXIII

 

 

10 p.m. approximately. Weather warm-showery. Darkness.

     

As LVIII.

     

Object: Hunc virum mihi servo clandestina mater.[2]

     

The Operation was very forcible and orgiastic; union seemed most perfect, as if appointed. The Elixir was fuller and fiercer than before.

     

Mental concentration, in my opinion, good. It is a fact that I was preoccupied with the idea of making a good hexameter of the 'object'; but I have an intuition that this is not a bad sign.

     


 

Result: This broke down in the most sudden and incomprehensible manner. See LXIV.

 

 

1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.]

2—['I, as a secret mother, am keeping this man for myself.']
