- Crowley, on a hunt,
pursues a nineteen-foot rat snake. Thinking he has filled
the snake full of shot from his rifle, his hired man
eventually hits it with a stick. The snake is completely
unmarked from Crowley's lead shot and he later finds that he
has been
swindled in his purchase of ammunition with pellets being
substituted for heavy shot.

- Crowley closes his
account with the publisher Kegan Paul, Trench & Trübner. He
is disappointed with slow sales and price reductions on his
overstocked titles. Since 1902, only ten copies of
Tannhaüser had sold, five of
Carmen Saeulare, seven
of
Soul of Osiris,
and two of
Jephthah;
and Other Mysteries, Lyrical and Dramatic.
The books
An
Appeal to the American Republic,
The Mother’s Tragedy,
The Tale of Archais,
and
Songs of the Spirit
have not sold any copies. He calls on Charles Watts of London to
do his printing. To combat what he considered mismanagement
of his stock of books, Crowley decides to distribute his
works himself. He names his publishing house the Society for
the Propagation of Religious Truth (S.P.R.T.), a parody of the
Church of England’s venerable Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge.

Nuit Ma Ahathoor Hectate Sappho Jezebel Lilith Crowley
is born this day to Aleister Crowley and
Rose Kelly at
Boleskine House, Foyers, Inverness. From
Crowley's
Confessions, Volume III:
"Nuit was given in homage to our Lady of the Stars; Ma,
goddess of Justice, because the sign of Libra was rising;
Ahathoor, goddess of Love and Beauty because Venus rules
Libra; I'm not sure about the name Hecate; but it may have
been as a compliment to the infernal gods; a poet could
hardly do less than commemorate the only lady who ever wrote
poetry, Sappho; Jezebel still held her place as my favourite
character in Scripture; and Lilith, of course, hold
undisputed possession of my affections in the realm of
demons." |
