Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Sunday, 23 September 1917

 

 

A very elaborate operation in which as the result of a most profound psychology I obtained the Word [Word of the Equinox] “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” Objections that it is not a single word, etc., are quite nugatory. I object to recasting it as Qelhma, for instance. I cannot possibly explain the series of exclusions which I have devised for obtaining the supreme Consciousness and Will; but it doth suffice.

     

The Qelhma divination[1] is “VII” VI:14: “There are deep secrets in these songs. to enjoy song he must be the bird.”

 

 

1—Refers to Bibliomancy using the Holy Books of Thelema [Volume I, Volume II, Volume III].
