Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Saturday, 3 April 1920

 

 

Traversed Rock of Cefalu, visiting Temples of Jupiter and Diana. At supper, I ate much thigh of kid, and may Priapus prosper! Also I ate Salome di Pasqua—the perfection of the Red and White. This, gazing on the sausage, I beheld: that this Red and White is the Sanguis et Semen formula of Juppiter, as obtained in the Paris Working. I note that the Rock of Cefalu is marvellous foursquare, the greater rock on High Man being about the doubled cube of the Low Man. Hence a special suitability for a Temple of Juppiter. I think Juppiter is the true, Apollo the false IAO—or rather, say, Apollo given that name as a compliment. (It should be a White Rose on a Red Cross, for Knights of Perfection.) Painted 'Street in Marseilles'.
