Opus[1] XXVI

 

 

8.30 p.m. (Washington D.C.)

     

[Assistant] As XIII [Alice Coomaraswamy].

     

Object: a safe pregnancy for XIII [Alice Coomaraswamy].

     

A very good Operation, considering the over-excitement of having her come to me alone and definitely on the day agreed.

     

Elixir: first-rate. Open air.

     


 

P.S. Failure. Cause: accident. Mars in conjunction with Neptune in 8th house. But no failure of the Operation. Child remained nearly a month [in womb] after accident.

 

 

1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.]
