Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 30 October 1923
2.0. p.m. I have nowhere seen it urged that people, however theoretically monogamous, necessarily demand different types of helpmeet according to age. It is not a sexual question st all. But a man needs divers intimate services which mean scandal unless plygamy comes to the rescue. Even free love is hardly of any use in such aspects of the problem.
5.16 p.m. Letter from O.P.V. [Norman Mudd] re my Work and Mission. General symbol for letter. How deal with it. What importance? Reliability? Etc? Sun of Water [I Ching hexagram] LVI. Lu. "Strangers"? Message from Chiefs. I doubt. Thelema message. CCXX, II, 2. Ex-House. Yes: letter is good. How shall I act to put myself right with the Chiefs? [I Ching hexagram] XXX. Sun of Sun. (See above for Moon-Conjunction-Uranus Work). Be docile and reverent: be sure of yourself. Be easy. Expect sudden event. "Repent!" Assume power.
Instructions about Murray [Adam Murray]. [I Ching Hexagram] Fire of Phallus. Bab says: he comes here.
Instructions about Mrs. Clarke. [I Ching hexagram] XXIX. Moon of Moon? Restrict her, i.e. bring her to heel!
11 p.m. Continuation of Bab's Vision.
