Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 4 July 1921

 

 

A bad night. I am palsied with horror and pity as I contemplate the agony of a creature like Cowie [George MacNie Cowie].

     

11.45 A.M. I wish I were a kangaroo; it's just such a nuisance looking for one's pouch all the time. I may be a knight of the Pelican, but I can't keep Pinjue [?] in my bill.

     

P.M. Sketched Mary [Mary Butts] and Maitland [Cecil Maitland].

     

The Ritual of the Mark of the Beast

Trace the Mark where Sol is Hadit, Luna, Muith, and the Testes 666 and 156.

          

The Cross should include Hod and Netsach, Chokmah and Binah. Nuith and Hadith are Brain and Seed (Brahmaramdra and Muladhara).

          

Aiwaz is Silence and Speech (Ajna and Visuddhhi)

          

R[a] H[oor] K[huit] is Force and Fire (Anahata).

          

Therion is Manipura—or also Anahata?

          

Babalon is Smadisthana, the Womb.

          

Or could R.H.K.—the Lord of the System in visible form—be the two halves of the brain? I think so; then 666 is Anahata. Manipura is then the Word of the Aeon itself.

     

We give Chokmah and Binah and Daath to Aiwaz, Chesed and Tesod, Geburah and Tiphereth to R.H.K., Netzach, Hod and Yesod to 666 and 156. Kether and Malkuth to Hadit, Ain and Yesod to Nuith—See later pages.
