Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 8 December 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 44.
Woke from endless tamashas.
3 1/2 (1)[Heroin].
6 3/4 (2)[Heroin].
9 o’c Jap War excited me: brekker [breakfast] collapsed me! Coramine[1] and (3)[Heroin].
Frieda [Frieda Harris] wired inviting me Tues-Fri.
Agitated: this hurry, Whiteley’s case came, F&M [Fortnum & Mason] let me down on Uisge [whisky].
12 1/4: took (4)[Heroin] as Pam is due to lunch.
5 1/2 This (4)[Heroin lasted very well, but somehow the whole air is full of furious unrest.
Took small (5)[Heroin] hoping to avoid M&A[tropine] altogether.
Will take life easily for a bit.
9 sleep.
10 1/4 241 [asthma symptoms] pain over heart. Yet three elaborate detailed dreams of giving before rousing myself to do so. M&A.
1—Coramine is a circulatory stimulant and was used in the mid-twentieth century as a medical countermeasure against tranquilizer overdoses.
