Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Tuesday, 27 January 1942

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 60.

     

1 1/4 woke in pain—being brought to bed of a tiepin(?) (1)[Heroin]. Room icy cold.

     

7 1/4 (2)[Heroin].

     

9 (3)[Heroin].

     

9 3/4 (4)[Heroin]. Don’t quite know why I took this: assuagement of frustration of some kind, I think. Feel XOP both before and after.

     

11 1/2 Alice.

     

12 3/4 Beadle [Charles Beadle] rather shocking (5)[Heroin].

     

Big lunch—venison & chocolate Bavarois.

     

Weather frightful: NE blizzard.

     

Charles Beadle Oddy’s [restaurant] 12 o’c. Dirtier and more revolting than ever. An actual visible aura of grime, grey and cold.

     

4 1/2 Liversedge here (6)[Heroin] after long nap.

     

F.H. [Frieda Harris] brought Moura Stewart. Rather like Jane Cheron: 20 years ago how I should have gone crazy! Hectic foursome. Very tired.

     

7 1/4 (41)[M&A(tropine)] Rest.

     

NLT [night letter] Saturnus [Karl Germer]. Recd |stop| Ala Storey Am Brit Art Center expects you call there offer cooperate Tarot |stop| Perique please. C.
