Aleister Crowley Diary Entry
Sunday, 8 July 1923
Die Sol
12 [Midnight) Hail, Khephra!
A good deal of discomfort & oppression in p.m. Dictated Comment on LXV, iv, 1-21 & on title & number as a whole. Hag [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] analysis in a.m.
I am happy about this: but there is a certain uneasiness left over from my conversation with O.P.V. [Norman Mudd] on Friday (or Thursday?) about going to Hamman-Lif.[1] The moral is: 666 must be kept absolutely in the dark about everything outside his work, at no matter what cost. The smallest pebble—& the ripples expand endlessly. Note that the calmer the pond, the more evident the disturbance. There are no other ripples to break them up.
If there be more than the most remote likelihood of any disturbance being caused by natural events, the actual conditions should be changed as soon (rather than as late) as possible. Perhaps any such change should be represented to 666 as a positive part of the plane of O & A for writing the Comment: not as vi[a]cuncti.
1—A seaside resort town similar to Marsa, and about 20 km southeast of Tunis.
