Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 14 March 1918
Key to dramatis personae: Aleister Crowley is T. or Therion, or 666. He is represented by Amalantrah in the temple of the seeress' vision.
Roddie Minor, or Eve is Soror Achitha (variously spelled Ahita, Achita, Ahitha), or 555. She is the egg or altar in the temple.
Marie Lavroff or Röhling is Soror Olun, or 156, and is the Tree in the temple.
Mrs Elsa Lincke is Soror Bazedon and possibly 444, being the Lion in the temple.
Charles Stansfeld Jones is Frater Arcteon, O.I.V.V.I.O., Nemo and 777. He is the Child in the temple.
Amalantrah the Wizard is 729 and represents 666 or A.C. in the temple.
9.30 p.m. Operation for Asmodee.
9.40 Temple all right, but 729 is solemn and stern. Looks toward fire—ashes. Goat on mountain. Things cold and silent, going not very well. Economics bad. Alzedarah tree by 729's chair and crocodile crawling up it. T[herion]'s going to California (? Achitha's mind). 729 looks very ill. Pipe of peace—near bowl is a lot of dark brown globules—suggests a snake. Field with tiny trees at 729's feet.
Work. Cocked hat. Widow in Church. Dove on sill. Crab. Sheep to be slaughtered. Tall official man with letter or paper—Englishman. Old man in restaurant—varied expressions on it.
T[herion]: S.E.D.R.Y.O.9.D.S.K.? (Is Marie friend or enemy to 729 and his work?)
A[chitha]: Pan's reed. 34. (Jupiter; ransom, avenge, pollute; reveal; angel of 7 Cups.)
