Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Saturday, 15 May 1920

 

 

Before sleeping, about 6.00 a.m. Opus[1] XIII, 31-666-31 [Leah Hirsig], p.v.n.[2] Object: Invocation ∏AN. Operation, admirable but very strangely so. Elixir also peculiar; quite original. I attribute these phenomena to the time of the Opus—the long previous fatigue and fasting and the means used to prevent these being observed.

 

1—[Crowley refers to a magical sexual operation.]

2—[Per vas nefandum. By the unmentionable vessel, i.e. anal intercourse.]
