Aleister Crowley Abbey Record Friday, 5 November 1920
Now then at last upon the fifth of November, 1920, era vulgaris, Sun being in 13° of Scorpio and Moon in 11° of Virgo, did The Beast hearken to the Words of Alostrael [Leah Hirsig] His Concubine, perceiving clearly the Magical Need of making sure the circle against the Horror that had invaded it to such most cruel and deadly purpose; Wherefore with Wisdom of Tahuti did he conjure, exorcise and expel the aforesaid Ninette Fraux [Ninette Shumway], casting her out from the Abbey [Abbey of Thelema] for a season. And this Work not in hate nor in fear but in love and in pity did he do, seeing that solitude purgeth the Soul by forcing it to feed on its own poisons.
