Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Saturday, 19 April 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 12.

     

Alice [Alice Upham] wired “Thanks 29th regret 22nd n.[o] g.[ood]” I must have MISUNDERSTOOD her letter (See Thwan of Phi).

     

Fine A.M. after lunch a gale of rain, v.[ery] cold wind, fog heavy: finally cleared.

     

I think this upset both X. [Grace M. Horton] & myself; she was fantastically tired, I fed up—perhaps feeling the imminent famine of Perique.

     

Whatever the cause, we both went to bed before 9; I made an idiot excuse to take 1/6 [Heroin] at 9 though I had one at 4.

     

Electricians came & finished most of job.

     

Great MISUNDERSTANDING on the part of Harrod’s. (See Thwan of Phi.)

    

I avoided ditto by really clever tact, spotting her fatigue etc. in time.
