Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

 

Tuesday, 19 June 1923

 

 

Die Mars

 

12.21 a.m. I vaguely remember the number 1242 as connected with prophecies in Daniel or Apocalypse.

    

‘A great miss.’

 

     αμαρτια[1] = 453 + 'negalh = 86
  = 539 plus 100 (acc) = 639.

 

Eng. 1 plus 409 plus 450 = 860.

     

Note Miss—450. fall = 561 or 67. Cf. ϕαλλος[2] pit= 390 reason = 426.

 

     Because = 633. }  as one = 326 = Jesus on
     Because = 309.

sea: no sea.[3]

 

11 p.m. A cold day, ending in heavy rain. I finished “Magus” in U.S.A. chapter of Hag [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley].

     

3 [Heroin] today: some dictating.

 

 

1—Amarita = error or failure.

2—Phallus.

3—These calculations are an attempt to discover an underlying Qabalistic numerology for the passage from the Book of the Law II, 27 ‘There is great danger in me; for who doth not understand these runes shall make a great miss. He shall fall down into the Pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of Reason.’
