Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 10 February 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 58.
Woke 7 1/2: little 241 [asthma symptoms] & well refreshed: whether I woke & took (1)[Heroin] at 4 I don’t know. Rather disturbing: think best not to guess so:
7 3/4 (1)[Heroin] Useless: 241 came on baddishly: am bewildered: made various accidents with dose, don’t know exact amount; probably.
8 1/4 (2, 3)[Heroin] Q[uer]y is there lack of 41[M&A(tropine)]?
9 1/2 Suffocation: it passed off.
Bath 10 (41)[M&A].
12 This did seem to work very well. Coramine[1] may have helped.
Phoned Pickfords re clothes.
Rang F.H. [Frieda Harris] re Ham [Gerald Hamilton].
Nick called up: she has to pack for him! My considered judgment is that when he was circumcised, they threw him away, and kept the prepuce by mistake!
4 Alice here Bayley [James Gilbert Bayley].
6 Ham. Photos (58 Tui).
12 1/2 (4)[Heroin].
4 (5)[Heroin].
7 (6)[Heroin]. Tot: 1 1/12
10 1/4 241 going to bed.
7 (8)[Heroin]. Tot 1 5/12.
Gave Bruce Blunt lunch at Picc.[adilly] Brasserie.
1—Coramine is a circulatory stimulant and was used in the mid-twentieth century as a medical countermeasure against tranquilizer overdoses.
