Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 18 January 1945
[I Ching hexagram] 2 (or 23 Po).
Long dream re France. 3 books. This I recall: some one saying "I don't know what you've written; but if you've hurt France AC will hunt you all the way through Hell and back!" C'est la civilization qui corrom pt les moeurs; les Russes et les Chinois egalement ont garde l'ame de Stalingrad et du Yang Tze Kiang.
No Cordelia [Cordelia Sutherland]; weather too awful, I guess.
Down for drink; captured by Frieda [Frieda Harris], who brought Lord Ronald Greene (& Lady) to be introduced to me.
Dr. Ll[oyd] H[art] came! The newest remedy; but he forgot to mention that it must be taken under a waning moon in the shade of a blasted yew, with a prayer to St Couilles. I never heard plainer witchcraft!
