Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Saturday, 25 April 1942

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 61.

     

It took 1 1/6 gr [Heroin] to pull me together.

     

Oniform depression, despite nice letters from Reeves and Pearson.

     

Great lunch at Piccadily: Huitres Mornay * Coupe Jenesousquoi. Super-corona & '42 fine to follow. American edition of "Thumbs Up!" Very amiable; gave him a "Temperance" No. 80.

     

Glorious spring day, but wind still cold.

     

1 1/6 gr [Heroin] to pull up: 3/4 all needles naughtiness. Probably 1/4 [Heroin] would have kept things straight.

     

Ambition impatience, frustration:

 

Tot: 1 11/12 [Heroin].
