Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Rex de Arte Regia Thursday, 31 May 1917
Opus[1] VI
[Assistant] Howard.
Object: Promulgation of the Law [of Thelema].
[Operation] ת [the fundament].[2] Wunderschoen.
(My induction to The International, with its occult matter, seems success to this III, IV, V. I got this about six weeks later.)
1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.] 2—[The Hebrew letter Tau combines in this context the notions of the phallus and the fundament. The Operation was an act of sodomy in which Crowley played, as usual, the passive role.]
