Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Sunday, 8 February 1914
The Esoteric Record[1]
[Sunday, February 8, 1914.]
O.S.V. [Crowley] ? 3-5 A.M. February 8, 1914.
Inspection of Cakkras.
Mūlādhāra. Blood-red, velvety, deep-bell shape. Around it the kundalini coiled, but in constant spiral motion. Luminous triangle—mirror-like—opens at base (very small.) I looked down through infinite stages of these triangles, at the bottom glitters a pearl-like (but self-luminous and most intense) phallus. Presently this goes, and up the tunnel march millions of men of every race, creed, caste and colour—not a single woman.
Svādiştthāna. Very large flattish white lotus, greenish tips to edges, very pale and fair; It floats in pale blue.
Mānipūra. A chysantheum of rainbow petals, active-like folding and refolding, comprehending alternatively microcosm and the macrocosm.
Anāhata. Mostly gold and pearls with rubies and sapphires, I think, but this fades in memory.
Viśuddhi. Myriad radiating knives of pure golden light; in all directions.
1—This entry was not attributed by Crowley to a particular working, having been written early Sunday morning.
