Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 28 April 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 48.
Bad night.
Woke 2.45. Adrenalin.
Woke again 6.30.
Had one accident after another to 1/6 [Heroin] though feeling perfectly clear: wasted two tablets.
This was the start of a whole series of Minute Accidents the worst being that I set a packet (?pocket?) on fire!
Total, 12-15 (I lost count!) & all were due to my own carelessness and/or clumsiness.
Turle kept me waiting, so I walked out.
Saw Malin re. Grant: most amiable, suggested 10/- a month: damned decent of him! He is keen on painting, has an “old master.” Told him about Tarot: memo to show him photos.
Chess v.[ersus] Amateur, complete ass 6-0. Explained that he was “dull to-day.” He could give me a much better game etc. Actually, has no notion of chess or anything else.
Bought birch(?) for Alice [Alice Florey].
