Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 20 April 1920
Reflections of a Magus, waiting to dictate an article on America in order to postpone sexual duties. 'I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not brandy more.'
9.30 p.m. circa. Opus[1] I, Beauty [Ninette Shumway] (with 31-666-31 [Leah Hirsig]). Object: [not recorded].
Operation very good. Elixir A1 (administered). Ended in a gorgeous exhibition of Freudianism.
It began by my addressing the ladies: You girls would wear out any man's Tool, were it steel or stone. Would God that you were Lesbians and I could sleep alone! Leah then jestingly proposed to rape Beauty. Beauty then snatched a thin cloak and went and sat in the rain for an hour, while Leah got Howard [Howard Shumway] to yell for her, and I wandered round the hillside in the dark looking for the insane woman.
I caught her at last, and took precautions against her having caught a chill, while Leah, who had got drunk, swore at her. No sooner was Beauty safe in bed then Leah had fits of vomiting and hysterical attacks! I quieted these and started to read the Tao Teh King aloud.
