I made a list of the dates in the “diary” (in order), and noted how many were undated. Here is what I have so far: Feb 23, 25, 28 Mar 4, 6, 18, 27, Apr 3, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 22 May 15, 22, 24 June 22 And 6 (or 7) undated entries.

Also note the unlucky date, which you can ascertain exactly by using a calendar.

I used a bunch of little post-its to order all the entries/easier to find. I'm a little confused with the timeline: We do know May 22nd that Freddie and Elwood told him that he's going to go through initiation that evening.
Then the next page he mentioned the temple/coin. I figured this is May 23rd. However, I cannot figure out if his big initiation (where he doesn't write down the date but it several pages long) happened on May 22nd? Thoughts?

I'm not a mod, but you might consider using the spoiler button.

So far, I'm thinking May 22 was a second initiation. The entry mentions initiation with another ritual.

The "first initiation" entry is one of only two I haven't been able to place on the time line yet. As far as i can tell, the first initiation must have taken place after Friday 27th March and before Friday 22nd April. I suspect it probably took place on a Friday, which rules some date out But other than that I'm not sure where it goes. The other one I'm having trouble placing is the one that mentions the black and white star chart. All the rest I've worked out.

I think there is a strong reason to believe that first initiation took place a little earlier than that even.

For the star chart thing look At a document from Bardsley, dated early April.

If you read through the journal entry it is quite obvious what the date is. It lands on a Friday

My presumed date is a different one from yours, if that's what you mean. The assumptions are just different. My assumptions lead to a Sunday date, based on information from one of the other sources we have that does not appear to be directly related to the puzzle for that entry. I think it remains to be seen which set of assumptions are correct . I'm not sure if I have the correct answer to the puzzle for this date yet, though I have an answer of sorts. Ok
