Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Friday, 28 November 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 17.

     

Woke 6.

     

Woke 7 (1.1A)[Heroin] yesterday eased my mind:

     

I felt that F.H. [Frieda Harris] & Cecil [Robert Cecil] have real value in me.

     

9 3/4 (2)[Heroin].

     

12 (3)[Heroin].

     

Some asinine idea of fitting in with day’s appointments.

     

(Cold, black, drizzling: unpleasant tasks ahead: subconscious worry about Torquay and Whiteley stuff, fool fretting about December £50).

     

Sketched horror [Heroin] for Robert Cecil London 26.3.13. Asc. 3o Capr.

     

1.30 Alice [Alice Florey]: drink. The blasted cow was at Sheriff’s at 1 o’c. Spoilt everything. Not her fault, of course: and we(?me?) made a success of the party after all. But: SHIT!

     

2 1/4 (4)[Heroin].

     

Frieda [Harris] at 4. Dr. Morrison tried to butt in unarranged: I booted him out. Bayley [James Gilbert Bayley] also came unexpectedly: I let him in: he was nice(?). Gave out cards.

     

241 [asthma symptoms] came on at 6 1/2 took (5)[Heroin].

     

This “exasperation.”
