Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 7 July 1944
[I Ching hexagram] 8.
12 Thunder, for sure; explains Thursday’s nervousness.
Heavy rain 1.7.
Like a flash, the solution of the Biggn mystery. Mrs. B. has the Evil Eye.
Longest walk 1 3/4 hrs.
Sun after rain.
Woods crowded with sylphs etc half saw them on 4 separate occasions, but never long enough to say what they looked like: about 5 ft tall & light brown. All moving like crowds on a promenade.
Began A.E.E. [Aleister Explains Everything] 3 on Sex. Ditto “Dictionary Letter” [letters for what eventually became Magick Without Tears].
11.45 our planes in strings an hour or more on end play hell with my nerves!
