Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 23 December 1920
Painting to fill in the time while accumulating force for current.
11.00 circa. A vision of the card XIV. Crown of twelve stars. Artemis figure naked, snake ribbon as dress, rainbow colours, head over right shoulder, yellow, black, white and red girdling her three and a half times. She has three hearts in an inverted triangle. The sun is her umbilicus: it bears an oblong with the word [undecipherable] and 666 underneath; it adds to 666. There are seven letter groups with in the middle. The vulva is hairless, the legs close together, standing on a moon with the bright edge uppermost. She repeats the black red white and gold combination with blue as the background. She has hounds, horses and deer. She pours Black-White from a Phallus into a Yoni which gushes red-gold into her mouth. But there are many variations in all this: I shall look again before painting the card.
