Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 10 November 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 50.

     

Insomnia 241 [asthma symptoms] began 1 3/4 M[orphine] & A[tropine].

     

Woke 6 3/4, 8 3/4.

     

Mail woke me again (1A)[Heroin].

     

12 woke (2)[Heroin]

     

4 3/4 Two hours real sleep: slight 241 (3)[Heroin].

     

7 1/4? curious anxiety feeling? Yen? (4)[Heroin] to find out. Yes, I regret & psychological reaction, but the vague uneasiness persists. It is in some way connected with M.A.S. [Maurice A. Sutherland].

     

Bought Jaeger pyjamas £2.10.11 8 coupons.

     

Letter from F.H. [Frieda Harris]]news from Ala Storey: replied.

     

Letter from Max Schneider 1725 Chch View Drive LA.

     

Wrote Saturnus [Karl Germer]: also N.L.T. if Frieda thinks it wise.

     

I really do not know why things impossible in Nature seem always to be happening to me; but this boil? carbuncle? abscess? bobo, without changing the minutest detail of its surface appearance, is now moved up about 2” nearer to the hip!! Am I crazy?

 

Yes. Well, I’m not sure. I got the normal physical & psychological reaction, but. . .
