Aleister Crowley Diary Entry
Thursday, 5 July 1923
Die Jupiter
Abstracted Rabelais for 93 description & that of Pantagruelior, having recovered my health to a great extent. Began cutting up Hag [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] into convenient lengths. [Dr.] Domela[1] dined. Programme of work:
1. Finish Liber LXV Comment.
2. Essay on one Column of 777 per diem.
3. Edit Hag. Note Mars square my radical Sun, June 30 Mars square my radical Venus, July 3. This covers the period of my heat-stroke—or whatever it was—which kept me in semi-delirious semi-coma for 48 hours; also of what may prove to be a further ‘fire of persecution’.
1—Crowley’s doctor in Tunis, who he went to see about stopping his heroin habit.
