Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Thursday, 22 January 1942

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 55.

     

3 1/4 241 [asthma symptoms] (41)[M&A(tropine)]

     

4.7. (1)[Heroin].

     

Slept heavily till 9.

     

10 (2)[Heroin].

     

Uncomfortable: weather plus no $200 plus no definite plans makes everything seem stupid.

     

Can’t direct such energy as I have in store

     

11 1/4 (3)[Heroin].

     

1 1/2 ditto: a kind of dull malaise (4)[Heroin]. Seminap.

     

4 o’c (5)[Heroin]. not urgent, but Alice on the way, and it does seem as if (1)-(4) - 3/4 gr total had got me near the surface: try if getting this in before noon puts things right for the day. By “right” I mean “eager to work”.

     

5 o’c suddenly choked at tea and was furiously sick!

     

6 1/4 am very XOP? short of M&A ? will try 41[M&A].

     

[F.W.] Hylton sent £2.19.0 POS & a lot of Social Credit rot.

     

7 o’c The 6 1/4 41[M&A] seems to have worked. All symptoms cleared up. Perfectly OK till I went to sleep.

     

No fuel in the house & the Manageress blind-blotto.
