Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 14 July 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 43.

     

Woke 5.30 a.m. wrong inside & asthmatic too.

     

Saw Maggs re. the Codex Sinaiticus, Mr. Ettinghausen, & poor Frieda [Frieda Harris]. She will never listen to the people who know: ought to have been in the Baldwin-Chamberlain Governments.

     

2 P.M. Took , , my copy of the Yi, a report of my talk with Maggs, & my letter to Mike, round to Doreen.

     

Flat sends a/c [account] for week in advance.

     

What to do? V. “Waiting.” O.K. French pub bursting with patriots, so I went to Fitzroy [Tavern]—Letter there dated Sept. 28 from Montgomery Evans!

     

Foyles’ [Bookstore] Hebrew Dept. man told me that this Ettinghausen was a four-flushing windbag.

     

Caught chill—feeling like death—took 4th [Heroin] again.

     

10 P.M. felt very faint & ill.
