Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 25 March 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 34. WATER/TAURUS.
Ham [Gerald Hamilton] has fretted himself into illness. Called in the Horse: go with the Pterocarpus marsupim prescribed. His cries were heart-rending!
Great letter from [F.W.] Hylton; adherence to the historical aspect of the Law—"Cairo Working" Wrote reply: at length.
Weather better; me better; went forth gaily & enjoyed it.
After tea I couldn’t bear to stay in, so I went for a walk.
Temp[erature] 98.6 - 98.4.
Tot: 1 2/3 gr. [Heroin] last 1/4 gr. pure devilishness and sleep, as it seemed to do the last 2 nights.
Sleepy, but no sleep.
Cough at 11 (40).
Equinox ties from B&I very noble!
Ham wailed and moaned & was about to die; feeling a little better in the afternoon, went out on some ramp!! I honestly hope he has a really serious relapse. But nothing will give him sense.
