Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Saturday, 3 January 1920
This ‘Caldron’ [I Ching Hexagram L] was mostly food, with Beadle [Charles Beadle] and Willy. A most enjoyable day. Saw Morrice. At night I went to Julia’s and found myself totally unable to get interested in the india-rubber caldron there. See line 3!!! But the general rain has not come yet. Letter from Leah [Leah Hirsig] who wants to come to Paris.
Where should I take Leah for her confinement? Describe place. Moon of Fire. [I Ching Hexagram 5, Hsu] South West according to Fu-Hsi, South East according to King Wan. Fountainbleau clearly fulfils all these conditions.
I ask [the Yi King], Is Fountainbleau a good place? Answer—Moon of Sun!!! [I Ching Hexagram 63, Ki Zi] Should it be by the river or on the high ground? Air again. It means high ground clearly. Sun of Earth. [I Ching Hexagram 56, Lu] Don’t do mean things. Try big ideas. Stay in one place. Get government job. Stick to Leah.
