Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 30 October 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 45.
Woke at 8 1/4 hardly any distress

11 o’c. 1/6 boredom.

Agitation 9 1/2 1/6
1 1/4 Greta [Valentine] came—cold compress. Went home—told the Handsome-might-have-been-a-doctor-if-I’d-condescended what she saw—scared him. So I asked Miss Hubard for a real one. She advises a Dr. Peacock.
Yi advises [I Ching hexagram] 56. Lu. “Strangers.” Probably means “get a new opinion.” Dr. P. is a museum piece, orders Epsom Salts & Glycerine as a dressing. All sorts of the most hellish confusion. Miss H. herself got the stuff. Struggles to dress it—U.S.W.—ended by upsetting my breathing by 9.30. The dressing itself seemed to be fighting me!
