Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Sunday, 1 February 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 40.
6 3/4 (1)[Heroin].
7 (2)[Heroin]. Slept yet again till 9!
9 3/4 (3)[Heroin].
11 (4)[Heroin].
Heavy snow—no central heating—I have slept actually for 19 hours with short intervals for eating!
I seem to have got some work done, for all that: In my sleep, I suppose!
3 1/2 Publicity work with JGB [James Gilbert Bayley] has tired me: repose and (5)[Heroin] woke up to work.
6 1/4 (6)[Heroin].
11.30 AM Bayley here to photograph me. [Photograph Version 1, Version 2]
A The North Sea Patete: Saw story (S[unday] Expr[ress]) of 2 Hun officers shot by soldier.
Telephoned Frieda [Frieda Harris]: Percy [Percy Harris] has Lumbago; she was in a tantrum, took it out of me as usual.
Saturnus [Karl Germer] cable: New Regulations exempt British born from usual visa procedure Write for details Amer Consul. Sent perique week ago.
This (6)[Heroin] was a mistake as on Jan 28 & 29.
Slept early. [photo of ac in overcoat, hat & cigar].
6.45 PM Repeated hint that the Turk Zanelli (cf Zanoni!) may be somebody.
Queer! OK I’ll ask the Yi. Message: [I Ching hexagram] 52 Kan—same as omen after [Lew] Jackson—see opposite . . . . —he was bombed 3 times!
