Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 9 August 1920

 

 

12.10 a.m. Opus[1] VII, 31-666-31 [Leah Hirsig]. Operation: exceptional sobriety; no stimulants all day, bar a mild liqueur at dinner. I mention this, as the Operation was most amazingly intense, powerful, and concentrated. Alostrael [Leah Hirsig] went off to sleep within two minutes of receiving the Sacrament. I am singularly fresh. Climax perfect from every point of view. Elixir: admirable at all points. Object: to bestow upon 31-666-31 the power of vision 'bright as the Sun, pure as the Moon, far distant as the Stars'. (Mode: anointed eyes with Elixir before communicating.)
