Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 19 August 1940

 

 

[I Ching Hexagram] XLV.

     

A bad night: several wakings with distress, despite extra tablet [Heroin].

     

Quite a bad attack while cooking lunch.

     

Slept in P.M.

     

6 Cammell's [Charles Cammell] port sherry to meet Montague Summers & Mrs. Forbes.

     

A second quite bad attack, though I took an extra H[eroin] before starting. Hurry, mental or physical, is the cause, I now feel sure. (Wrenne brought some “Pulvides”(?)) Ephedine 0025 grm. Amytal(?) 0.05 grm.
