Jane Wolfe Diary Entry

Friday, 13 January 1922

 

     

 

10 P.M.

 

Sex force flowing in the afternoon. I therefore planned work in the evening. Composed myself at eight o'clock with 2 doses of heroin, as my mind was hopping about. Did not know which God I wished to invoke, so repeated "Nuit, Hadit, Ra-Hoor-Khuit" and asked for guidance. This time I lay quite still, my hands folded across my chest (my usual attitude, by the way, when concentrating after retiring). The mind took up accustomed routes;—all wrong: it seemed there was going to be something different. Several times there was a starting and each time objective consciousness lapses in. After a time my whole being radiated [illegible] toward one who seemed to be in my room, though there was no hint as to who or what was there.

     

Should enter here that I did not want to work at all and had to overcome considerable opposition.

     

An opportunity missed? Or, was it because I felt on a brink and I could not plunge over?

     

Think I may have spoiled the whole plan by smoking a cigarette, which I did to wake myself thoroughly—there was a drowsy feeling after a time. No work after smoking.
