Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Thursday, 9 November 1944

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 3.

     

Cordelia [Cordelia Sutherland] rang coming Wednesday.

     

Janet [Taylor] still Wet-herring.

     

Wrote to Gladys Mitchell.

     

Chit for Max [Max Schneider].

     

Friday lunch.

     

Idea to discourage divorce: within 3 years of the “absolute” the parties can remarry if they wish, giving a year’s notice. The “home-breaker” would thus have to take a serious risk. Good ‘.’ so often pride, obstinacy & passing passion cause the separation; and it would soon appear if the new adventure was likely to fail, if retreat were made easy.
