Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Sunday, 26 September 1920

 

 

Morning at Museum. Idea, 'The Throat Specialist', really the hangman.

     

7.15 p.m. I have discovered the Formula of the Mysteries of Dionysus: I am amazed at the physiological savoir faire.

          

1. The Bath.

2. The Meal.

3. The Alarm. Here the candidate can stay or go.

4. Caresses.

5. Stripping, Drinking.

6. Flagellation.

7. The Dance.

8. The Mystic Marriage.

     

I will establish this in Cefalu. The initiation fee will be only one thousand lire, but no one will be accepted without severe examination.

     

10.00 p.m. Have perfected my first 'Song of the Holy Ghost'. The best song of its kind I have done yet.
