Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 29 January 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 20. EARTH/SCORPIO.
12 1/2 More strange dreams & 241 [asthma symptoms].
1 1/2 ditto &
2 1/2 d[itt]o (1)[Heroin].
7 1/2 241 bad (2)[Heroin] quite inadequate.
7 3/4 (3)[Heroin].
9 1/2 (4)[Heroin] to go to “Sea Wolf”.
1 1/2 prostrate!! (5)[Heroin]. “Sea Wolf”: too tough for Aleister Crowley. The world has swung past me!
Good for the New Aeon! Thought I would stay for the “U” film to restore my morale. “Twas a U-boat film “This was Paris”. Shattered the ruins of my soul! Stuck it out, shot (5)[Heroin] and got home in a taxi.
F.H. [Frieda Harris] to tea. She is very upset: Percy [Percy Harris] & Nick bothering her, & Tarot hanging fire.
Left flat, I thought I would break the rules to help my poem: so 6 1/2 after muddles, leakage & miscalculations (6)[Heroin]. Made me sleepy:
Off about 9.
