Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 27 October 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 63.

     

1 o’c. Asthma bad M[orphine] & A[tropine].

     

Slept well till 7 o’c.

     

Asa not bad but 1/6 [Heroin] hardly helped at all: so took No. 2 1/6 tri [Heroin]. Instant relief.

     

11 o’c. No urgency 1/6 .

     

3 o’c. No urgency, but tired after dressing leg.

     

Asth.[ma] after nap!

     

6 3/4 M & A.

     

Bank of England again! Replied.

     

Letter from Saturnus [Karl Germer], with hope-promise of Resh bucks. Note [asthma:Gk]=241 [asthma symptoms].

     

Talk with Everett.

     

Alice [Alice Florey] here very helpful.

     

Evening perfectly miserable: “Adrienne Mesurat” is not well calculated to cheer one up. I too am going cuckoo from having nobody to talk to: i.e., when I can’t force myself to work.

     

11 P.M. Can’t stick it anymore. Shame! 1/6 .
