Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Rex de Arte Regia Friday, 22 March 1918
Opus[1] I
The Ceremony of the Equinox of Spring.
Assistant: V.H.H.I.V.I. [Very Honoured Very Illustrious Very Illuminated] Soror Achitha [Roddie Minor] IX° O.T.O. (עהיתעh= 555)
21 March 11.30 a.m. 1918 E.V.
The Operation was highly Magical, noblest planes of consciousness being quickly reached and kept. The Word [of the Equinox] was Akamrach.
March 22 midnight circa.
Soror Olun or Marie Lavrov, or Rohling. R.M.W.
A prolonged Operation of the aesthetic, hysterical, pseudo-romantic, technically exquisite, or European type, the culmination of two weeks or so of preliminaries. Excellent in its way.
Elixir not specially strong.
Object: Liberty: for the three, each, as follows: for me, to take Vampires fearlessly; for Olun, to destroy the sin-complex; for Achitha, to transcend Jealousy.
Result: Success in all.
