Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Friday, 13 March 1942

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 5.

     

Wrote more re Will to Saturnus [Karl Germer].

     

d[itt]o d[itt]o to Pearl [Pearl Brooksmith].

     

d[itt]o re Jermyn to Waldron.

     

Precis of Saturnus letter—see Memoranda p 8*.

     

Lovely weather—did a dawdle shop etc for an hour. Full of busk & bonhomie; but stress of Pola, who came to tea, was a bit fearsome; and the menace of MAS [Maurice A. Sutherland] coming to chess later, formidable.

     

I want to be alone to read and write!

     

The 1/4 gr [Heroin] came: good. Tot: 11/2 gr.

     

Temp 98.4-97.6.

     

MAS Won first game brilliantly, lost two by careless transposition of moves, won the last not very cleverly.

 

 

* Precis of letter to Saturnus 12-14 March re Will. All my property is now in OTO. Pearl’s Carey St claim to be made over to you as GTG now. Saturnus residuary legatee & my successor as OHO. Instructions to him how to act as such (1) Form nucleus of IX° (2) Social Order Eqx III 1 & 2 (3) Gnostic Mass. How to chose his own successor.
