Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Tuesday, 12 August 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 24.

     

38th anniversary of my idiot first marriage [to Rose Kelly] which helped me towards El Kahira.

     

1.20 a.m. Woke, some sweating: tried M[orphine] & A[tropine].

     

Paula & Mortlake here to tea: see wrong entry on August 15th.

     

Alice [Alice Florey] here: I was horrid to her. I just can’t stand personal contacts.

     

Donegall: an hour’s pleasant talk, possibly useful. Showed him Tarot (A.1. talked of V sign & my job as Magus for West.)
