Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 1 August 1923
Die Mercury
Hail unto Kheph-Ra!
12.56 a.m. Oracle from 93 re Russia. VII, vi, (16-18). I take this as an emphatic command to communicate.
2.20 a.m. Idea for a novel. Something never yet thought of (couldn’t be—93 wasn’t there!). It begins with drug-fiends assassinating each other while busy getting camels, & proceeds naturally, with no effort or catastrophe, to smiling youth & purity.
The idea is to show (Oh you didactic dog!) Nature as absolutely capable of taking care of herself, without any grandmotherly attention from the unco’ guid. But remember! the movement must be NATURAL.
Prick stretched in P.M.
