Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 23 March 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 36.
Bought
There is a strange demand for Abramelin: both Watkins and Marks have waiting lists: ditto Mike.
Weather bright, but cold N. wind.
I shopped over a wide area without distress, although my fire fused.
Diarrhoea & cough still at it.
Temp[erature] 98.4 (twice 0).
Tot: 1 1/2 [Heroin].
Wrote “The Tea-fight Sonata”. Aunt Mary is all very well; but it wastes a lot of time splashing me with its spate of sterfcorous woe; moreover, its miasma infects the whole atmosphere. I think a demon with a very long pitchfork ought to drop it into a very distant volcano.
