Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Saturday, 10 January 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 52.
5 o’c Woke from dream: War had broken down everything: long, many incidents, I had to rebuild—Tedious.
9 o’c Slowly to rise: shopping 10 1/2-1 o’c.
4 o’c Work on Cecil [Robert Cecil] [magical] diary: interrupted by Frieda [Frieda Harris]: on till midnight. She upset me, so.
10 1/2 (41)[M&A] All day—”under the weather”, no interest in anything; feeling of malaise; suppressed irritability; wish that I could blame something or somebody.
F’s [Frieda Harris] invitation to dinner merely infuriates me. I wish I had somebody to kick, and the energy to kick them. Maybe this is the “evil and averse” aspect of Kan.
FH [Frieda Harris] 6 1/2-10PM At last. I dug out this rot about moving lines generating curves in perspective—schoolboy geometry. He calls it “The NEW Geometry”.
5 o’c am 241 [asthma symptoms] v[ery] bad (1)[Heroin].
Slept heavily.
9 o’c (2)[Heroin] inadequate.
10 o’c (3)[Heroin] Gap from 7 PM 9th—5 am 10th 10. wants filing?
11 3/4 (4)[Heroin]
FH had rung up & overturned all my plans!
3 3/4 (5)[Heroin].
Was putrid at lunch, couldn’t sleep after 5 1/2 (6)[Heroin].
Thoroughly bad day. Don’t know why.
