Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Rex de Arte Regia

Friday, 11 June 1915

 

Opus[1] LXV - LXVI

 

 

10.43 p.m. Very warm. Pitch darkness. I think that probably this is the day after my meeting with Hilarion [Jeanne Foster], say 7.17 p.m. 10 June. In fact, there can be no reasonable doubt of this.

     

BABALON imagined as Jeanne Robert [Foster] per manus magistri.[2]

     

Object: Thanksgiving for Jeanne.

     

The Operation was not very well imaged, owing to defective memory. However, it was duplex, like the Equinox operations XXXIX-XL, the second being extremely orgiastic. The Elixir was copious, cool and sweet.

 

 

1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.]

2—['By the hands of the master', i.e. an act of masturbation.]
