Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 19 January 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 32.
Woke 12 1/2: 241 [asthma symptoms] gets worse.
1 1/4 (1)[Heroin].
8 (2)[Heroin].
9 (3)[Heroin].
11 3/4 (41)[M&A(tropine)].
2 (4)[Heroin].
6 (5)[Heroin]. not urgent, but asked to Carry.
9 1/2 (41)[M&A].
Veeraswamy [restaurant]. Rabbit for chicken: they lied when taxed with the fraud. I took bones as evidence.
2 PM Weather unspeakably vile: black, bleak, the constant hint of sleet.
I tried twice to face the rigour—that I did manage: but the horrors of “tiffindromes”—is this a good word?—packed, noisy,& smoky, drove me back to milk and sandwich. But I’ll top with a Halwa biscuit, and wind up with a cigar and old brandy.
Snowstorm heavy: very cold.
The word of the Law is [Thelema].
