Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 18 July 1916
Many strange dreams; but in particular:—I with some friends was visiting a strange Black King who was with a wife and either a child or a second wife, I was on his right hand. Many curious dishes were brought in and eaten, and at last a man baked in a special casserole cut to human shape. He carved me a slice of the hand, which kept the shape of the profile as it lay on the plate. I ate it. It was delicious, simple as mutton, yet as rich as foie gras. I was wondering how I could get a second helping when I woke up.
9:15 p.m. It has just struck me to set up a figure of the Heavens for the hour when I accepted this grade of 9º=2o.
This is very like the other figures (see Eq[uino]x I.X) with Herschel replacing Neptune.
['EIM' "EIS 'EV IIXIN IIASIN] = 666. Cf. Jones' [Charles Stansfeld Jones] motto.
