Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 3 March 1944
[I Ching hexagram] 53.
Idea (53 Kien) of gamble based on the “jang” for jade blocks on the Irrawady (? & Yang-tze?) Oack Bank & Treasury notes, & a few v.[ery] valuable small curios in a rather brittle block. Stir coram ludi turba, allow to set, take offers for first chunk to come off. Repeat auctioning & breaking till all sold. Perhaps better to use tokens?
