Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Saturday, 21 February 1920

 

 

3.30 a.m. circa. Opus[1] IX. Ninette [Ninette Shumway]. El. Rub. Opus, excellent as could be expected, considering all things. Elixir A1, couldn't be better. Object: as VIII [Domus, house].

     

Should I go to Algeria direct from Fontainebleau? [I Ching Hexagram] Water of Yoni. Alostrael [Leah Hirsig] thinks this is No. So do I, on the whole.

     

Shall we go to the Italian Lakes from April till July? [I Ching Hexagram] Sun of Water. Good for physical things, and apparently favourable for meeting Merlin [Theodor Reuss], but it looks like family troubles!

     

Well, then, what about Spain? [I Ching Hexagram] Fire of Earth. No.

     

Naples or Sicily? [I Ching Hexagram] Sun of Water again!
