Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 9 May 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 21.
Woke 4 A.M. asthma: 1/6 [Heroin] at 4.30.
Letter from Smith [Wilfred Talbot Smith] re. my visit to Cal[ifornia].
Dropped another needle + All these little accidents were from carelessness.
The financial worry is getting me rattled? Several others during day.
Long wire from Frieda [Frieda Harris]: exhibition of Tarot at Oxford probable (to be confirmed Saturday)—see [I Ching hexagram] lines 4, 5, & cf. Collins contracts in ‘22.
Dr. Wilson saw my eyes: marvellous good, “two lines better than normal.” Specks due to arterial changes. New glasses necessary, though change is but slight.
Practice Astral vision—see memoranda.
[It is: Vision May 9. Above earth vast dull sphere-crust.
Hard to pierce. Within, rich cream formed by dancing figures.
Then immense crimson-&-cream robed Man-Angels; they seemed to be directing the War. Many land! & sea-scapes, vast scale, utmost beauty. I was concentrating badly, could not make much of it.
But They wanted me among them robed as a Warrior.]
May Norton came up, & started soap-box ravings!!!
Got off with bare-legged ‘bus conductress.
