Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 8 January 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 53.
Woke 12 1/2 (1) (241 [asthma symptoms] was baddish).
4 1/2 bad 241 (41)[M&A[tropine]].
A ling dream in which I got nose blocked and a real sperm(?)!!
7 1/2 woke: slight basis for that dream (2, 3)[Heroin].
11 1/2 (week after notes on 9th) (4)[Heroin].
4 1/4 (5)[Heroin].
6 1/4 (41)[M&A] with rather indeterminate theoretical ideas!
Ploughed through correspondence Driberg [Tom Driberg], Estai [Jane Wolfe], Max [Max Schneider] & Saturnus [Karl Germer]. This last finished on 9th.
F.H. [Frieda Harris] headache—put off lunch.
Nick here 1 1/4 hrs. I let him talk. He didn’t seem to be anything, or to want to be. Is this the “evil and averse” wild goose of the hexagram. Note line 1).
8 3/4 Pity M&A leaves discomfort. (O well, if I start (6)[Heroin] Pity this and pity that, the issue is Buddhism).
MOI beat their record, releasing story that our officers were in such a hurry to run away that they left their pipes and tobacco lying about!
