Max Schneider Diary Entry Saturday, 19 June 1943
Went to Santa Monica with Jean [Jean Phillips], for the weekend. Cloudy and windy, the surf does not look too inviting for a swim. Had dinner at the Belle View with some rather uninteresting acquaintances of Jean's we ran into, and escaped early; but the Abalone was excellent. After, a good walk along the seashore, enlivened by good talk on the G.[reat] W.[ork]—Having returned to our abode, we enjoyed a bottle of sparkling burgundy together, which turned out to be a very satisfactory brand of a California edition of "wines that foam".
10:30 to 11:30 pm: Mag.Op.: To me! To me!—Jean said later that she had seen herself quite clearly as the Priestess and had experienced no difficulty in mentally reciting the love chant at the proper moment.
