Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Tuesday, 2 May 1939

[I Ching hexagram] 9.

Birthday party for Aleister Ataturk.

Gerald Hamilton. Ruby Melvill. Chac. [Charles Cammell]. Peggy Wetton. Jas Cleugh [James Cleugh]. Marika Cleugh. Jas [James] Justice. Iona Cammell [Mrs. Charles Cammell]. Louis Wilkinson. Greta Sequira. Catherine Falconer. Pamela Joan Bennett. A great success, this lunch, in some strange way; only explanation seems to be that I wasn't there: just cooked & let them talk.

Opus^[1] I.M.D.^[2] (Cath. [Cathrine Falconer] just doesn't like it with [menstruation].)

1—Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.

2—I.M.D.—In the Hands of his Mistress.
