Aleister Crowley Memorandum re Mr. John Bland Jameson Thursday, 26 January 1939
See HERE for Full Memorandum (12 May 1938 - 7 February 1939)
One of the exercises proposed in the course of training is what is known as the Vigil. This means that a Candidate sits or walks all night by the light of a night-light, the idea being that the silence and monotony will enable him to get a grip on himself. This was arranged for the night of 26th January. The following morning, I drove down to Oxford for the week-end, and it was only on returning that I found that Mr Jameson had cheated by blowing out the night-light instead of letting it expire.
