Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 1 April 1925
1 Apr (Dictated by A.C.)
During the afternoon of Mar 31, ADO [Dorothy Olsen] saw a fiery eye in the hallway of the courtyard. She frequently heard footsteps in the courtyard itself and presently saw a figure swathed in a black robe. Its head and feet were as if they were wreathed in fire. He appeared to be going out of the house. This happened several times. During all this time there was a tremendous storm of wind and rain. No thunder was heard until about 8.45 P.M. when a triple peal was heard.
666 didn't think it was quite ordinary thunder. ADO heard this thunder as the name Uriel. 666 diagnosed this manifestation as an indication that the Brethren wished to communicate with him. He told ADO to ask the being, whose face, by the way, was bronze-green, if he had any communication to make. He showed her [I Ching] Hex[agram] 13 of the Yi—"union of Man".
666 said "This confirms my idea. I shall hear either from Chicago or Hohenleuben tomorrow"
(This actually came to pass to-day (April 1)).
Two people came in about 9.30 and there was a long interruption owing to the flooding of the courtyard, but after this was all over—(about 1 A.M.) the manifestations were resumed. This refers to the last one mentioned above.
