Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 5 February 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 54.
Woke 12 3/4 Frozen 241 [asthma symptoms] coming on
1 1/4 (1)[Heroin] relief instant.
6 1/4 woke 241 bad (2)[Heroin] inadequate (3)[Heroin].
8 1/4 still 241 bad, and nose blocked. (4)[Heroin].
9 1/2 Ole man river has nothing on
this attack of 241. Not severe, but annoying.
Slept till 1. Woke with no 241.
1 1/4 (5)[Heroin] XOP & doze 4 14/ (6)[Heroin]. Tot: 1 1/6 gr.
Severe internal chill accounts for a good deal of this.
Finished writing to Saturnus [Karl Germer] & Max [Max Schneider], also [F.W.] Hylton, with [XIX] cards.
Alice to tea, very soothing.
(7)[Heroin] at 7 3/4. Total 1 1/3 gr.
Her visit did me a real heap of good.
So—wrote Estai [Jane Wolfe], Hylton, FitzG [Edward Noel Fitzgerald].
The (7) was to avoid any later problem.
Slept 8 1/2-10 and 10 1/4-11 3/4. Very wonderful dreams. Not much 241.
Seems F.H. [Frieda Harris] actually brought on a serious prolonged attack, destroying my physical inner resistance.
26 7/12 [Heroin] in 20 days.
