Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 22 April 1920
Today I am more cheerful; worked on some old pictures and started a new one, a big landscape with figures in the foreground. I note how the ego-idea was the basis of Beauty's [Ninette Shumway] insanity the other night. She would have been perfectly calm had some other person been in that imaginary danger. Hence the ego-idea is the root of insanity.
11.00 p.m. Opus[1] II, B.S.H.N[inette Shumway] p.v.n.[2] Opus AI. Elixir A1. Object: ∏AN.
1—[Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.] 2—[Per vas nefandum. By the unmentionable vessel, i.e. anal intercourse.]
