Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Rex de Arte Regia Tuesday, 26 February 1918
Opus[1] LXIX
7.45. p.m.
As LXIV [Roddie Minor].
Object Magical Energy.
Operation: p.v.n.[2] Short but snappy Operation; very spontaneous. Elixir difficult to obtain in quantity, but of fine vintage.
Result: immediate and lasting, most admirable. Very tired when I began. I sat up till 5.30 a.m., writing in the Book of my Wisdom [Liber Aleph] that I am making for my Son [Charles Stansfeld Jones], and after two hours' sleep, conceived and commenced the Great Operation next to be described [see Opus LXX - LXXIII].
1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.] 2—[Per vas nefandum. By the unmentionable vessel, i.e. anal intercourse.]
