Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

[Reincarnation Memory Diary]

Thursday, 28 November 1918

 

 

11.50 P.M.

Incarnation before Edward Kelly. I see myself a rather short awkward bullet-head, blue-grey man, with a terribly square jaw, and gloomy expression, standing at the door of my house-temple, where I performed the Operation of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. I seem to be able to find out nothing about myself, because I was simply a Will to attain Knowledge and Concentration of the Holy Guardian Angel. The house is a small one, all of wood; it is a place in a very thick forest* which can hardly be called a 'clearing', so close do the pines hem it in.

 

* I recognize—year later—this part of the world: Thuringia.
