Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Sunday, 20 April 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 25. enters .

     

We, the undersigned members of the Abbey of Thelema at Barton Brow Barton Cross, declare ourselves completely satisfied with the conduct & conditions thereof during the passage of the Sun through Aries.

     

Witness our hands: [Aleister Crowley Knight Guardian of the Sacred Lance. Grace M. Horner]

     

Last night’s exp[erimen]t. Immediate good, but got v.[ery] tired, slept 11-145 A.M. with dreams strange, phallic, perverse, but delightful; to wake to effects not altogether pleasant, & definitely toxic.

     

The worst snag in England about the Abbey is the social gap between classes, as regards members; and(?) though service is easy to arrange on normal lines, it is hard to extend the AL I 3 principle to menials.

     

X. [Grace M. Horton] very much better.
