OPUS[1] CXVIII

 

[EXTRACT]

 

 

[3:27 p.m.]

     

[Assistant:] Juanita, a half-caste Mexican Indian prostitute; very nice, agreeable, and sensual.

     

[Despite all his] sex feeling [being aimed at Hilarion (Jeanne Foster), and despite its being undertaken against his] human will [the opus was done for] proper magical reasons.

     

Object: Magick Power. This has special reference to my wish to declare myself, and master California.

     


 

[Result:] I went to see one of my introductions, and I think made a very big impression. I was full of life and glow, and felt myself radiating force in all directions.

     

[November 2] Everything looks as if this were going to work out A1.

 

 

1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.]
