Aleister Crowley Diary Entry
Wednesday, 18 July 1923
Die Mercury
Hail unto Kheph-Ra! Slept late, but invoked, & so woke early quite fresh. Analysed Liber LXV, Chapter V—not very satisfactory yet. General tension much relieved by writing long letter to Alostrael [Leah Hirsig]. Therein I describe my present state of mind, its good & bad points.
The upshot is really that I can’t trust my judgement as to how to treat my case!
5.6 p.m. Summary of Week's Work. 12 July Thurs. 777 all day. 13 Friday. D[itt]o. 14 Saturday. LXV all day. 15 Sunday. Hag [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] Anecdotes. 16 Monday. Revision of Hag & literary essays. 17 Tuesday. LXV finished Cap: IV. (all day) 18 Wednesday. LXV preliminary analysis Cap: V. More work than previous week—a good deal.
Love is the law, love under will.
11.15 p.m. Finished with odd Hag anecdotes.
Note: Lying on my bed nearly naked, chill came suddenly & diarrhoea followed instantly. Be warned!
Saw New Moon tonight. Clear & deep golden in colour, but slightly hazy.
Getting asthmatic again: will resume Nal & Belladonna.
