Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 29 March 1900
[See Preparation for the Operation of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage for background information.]
I had gone to sleep meditating [on] L.V.X. and woke very early still doing this (Curious dreams of prison-breaking—eventual arrival at E[ast]bourne—regata—tendency to E'bourne habits.)
[Note. In pencil on opposite side of note-book.] "L, sowing seed. V, apparent corruption. X, resurrection."
Now also I think there is a change
of god-form here connoted. Chief Adept with wand = Thoouth
or HICES
with Crook and Scourge =

Second A[dept] would be
HOOR or
or more obviously Apophis. The question is whether Apophis
is not only the evil dyad: but the dual nature. I clearly
get the pyramid formula of attracting light. Yet the manner
of vibration is difficult. Closing of plumes of Amon. There
is a great equilibrium of the officers; and they seem to
overlap and interchange. Thus S[econd Adept] has wand sacred
to Osiris and T[hird Adept] to Isis, while C[hief Adept] has
the Caduceus. Yet in function are the officers very similar
to 0=0.
