Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Friday, 27 June 1941

[I Ching hexagram] 36.

Woke 3.20 A.M. heavy cold sweat.

1/6 [Heroin].

Weather more sensible: felt better: did some work.

Tangles about tweeds.

Looking through Catullus for justification of my use of defutatus (= ausgefichtete). I found the line. Non homo sed vero mentula magna verax. This is used as an insult; but in reality is praise of our Secret Lord, Word-Wisdom-Will creator of the Universe for each one of us. “In Him we live and move and have our being.” k.t.l. [etc.] I do not seem to have written any Hymn with this openly expressed, except “Thou who art I” in Liber XV.
