Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Rex de Arte Regia

Thursday, 13 December 1917

 

Opus[1] XXXVIII

 

 

10.20 p.m.

     

As III [Roddie Minor].

     

Object: Aurum Rubeum! [Red Gold!]

     

Operation: El[ixir] Rub[eus].[2] Very good. Orgasm excellent; Elixir—rubeus! [ruddy!]. Too much lunar force, I think, but perhaps not bad for this type of Operation. Mental concentration very strong with imagination.

 

 

1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.]

2—['Red Elixir', i.e. the menses. Crowley was using the lunar current.]
