Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 20 March 1925
Vision 7. Astrid [Dorothy Olsen]. Hand on VII-vi-27.
Poppy incense.
Liber VII, vil, 27 reads "There dead Messalina bartered her crown for poison from the dead Locusts; there stood Caligula, and smote the seas of forgetfulness).
11.10 P.M. to 11.22 P.M. Time 12 minutes.
11.10 P.M. In the dark. Seem to be curious blue lights like blue glass—changing into stars—curious shapes—rays of light. Very black and blue is very bright. Don't seem to be going anywhere—lights seem to be coming. Gold chalice—very beautiful with many decorations, full of rubies. Curious streaks of fire over it like lightning.
11.15. Seems to be smoke coming from somewhere—seems like smoke. Two trees like those back of house—and smoke through trees. Like a dying fire—no flame. Everything moving slowly away. A river—try to get near it. Dirty, stagnant water. Slimy and dark and water still. Might be a lake.
718. "Call upon angel to come a guide you."
No one comes. Back. 11.22 P.M.
