Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Rex de Arte Regia

Wednesday, 29 August 1917

 

Opus[1] XXV

 

 

11.00 p.m.

     

As XXIV [Anna Katherine Miller], in all [respects].

     

[Object] The Siddhi.

     

[Operation] Mental concentration particularly good as I was on the thought (off and on) all day.

     

Note: The Eight Siddhis should refer to the Eight Letters of Baphomet.

          

B  Gnana

A  Expansion to Nuit

P  Power to Destroy

H  Pranayama: levitation

O  Power to create

M  Transformations

I   Contraction to Hadit

T  Gnana

     

It is all very unsatisfactory until we find out how Baphomet is really spelt.

     

P.S. In Hebrew  ב א ו ע מ י ת ר t= 729

          

RThIMOFAB
