Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Wednesday, 15 April 1942

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 61.

     

Cold: bitter Eurus(?) again, though fine. This set up great toleration.

     

Tot: (41) plus 1 1/6 gr. [Heroin].

     

£250 00/100 from Saturnus [Karl Germer].

     

Wrote Victor Gollancz, inviting him to see Tarot.

     

Bought 25 “La Nacional” [Cuban cigars] for £7.15.0.

     

5 1/2 Mrs Clifford Norton at Bolivar.

     

Joined by Eldon Moore, a writer under various pseudonyms. She spoke of the “Lady Pat” cafe (Mrs. Grantham as very-good-food serving, although amateur in service).

     

Det Searj Cornish called to see me: long talk.

     

Ham's [Gerald Hamilton] Teniers was, as I thought, not Teniers. Our date for tea: switchboard told him I was out, and told me that he was out!
