Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Thursday, 16 October 1941

[I Ching hexagram] 63.

1.50 a.m. Woke from long fantastic Tamasha with terrific diarrhoea (I foresaw this) & long fit of savage coughing.

1/6 [Heroin] restored calm—incomplete—after 1/2 hour pretty bad.

Too much emotion & talk, chill, change of weather: esp. the first.

Really had it from 12.30 to 10.20 P.M.

It was really noon before I felt reasonably fit again.

Delightful talk with F.H. [Frieda Harris] & an hour with the cards.

Lv. Moreton[-in-Marsh] 4.45.

Arr. Padd. 7.45. Dull unpleasant journey—the black-out a curse.
