Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 27 February 1933

 

 

VI. [Crowley begins week six of his "Purification for the Elixir."]

     

Report of 5 weeks.

     

Sex-life v. actively restored—day after 2nd dose Amrita. Stricture wholly gone. Asthma much changed in character—distinctly better, but persists. Thoughts all robust and juvenile e.g. I think naturally of ski if it snows; I want to walk rather than ride etc., etc. Irritated (7 a.m.) because I can’t go and take exercise!

     

Everything went wrong all day.

     

Opus[1] 13. Health esp. bronch. Very tired. This immortal masterpiece was a triumph of enthusiasm, intelligence, patience, and technique.

 

 

1—Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.
