Marcelo Motta Diary Entry Monday, 7 July 1969
Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
About 10.43 pm, start, 11.03 pm, end. Invoked B-A-H- and recited Call of Spirit. Then, invoked the Geni of the Dome of Samekh, although the hexagram which I took out, thinking it was his Seal, was the Seal of the Qliphotic Geni.[1]
The top of my head throbbed. I saw
absolutely nothing. However, the realization came to me—for
whatever good it is—that I am the Arrow. Also, that the
letters QST refer to Samekh as equilibrating Qoph and Teth.
I must therefore invoke these Paths to learn more about
Returned to body at last. Summation: failure? I do not know. Later, will feed the Seal with Holy Oil. And in due time, of course, will invoke Paths of Qoph and Teth!
Note: If we go by the letters (or part tracing of letters), the Sigil of the Geni of the Qliphah indicates that he (it, or she) is related to the Paths of S, K, R and Z in some way. So, must travel in those also. But I will, anyway!
Doing Sign of Silence, after finish, preparatory to leaving the straw carpet to go for the Holy Oil, remembered that right at the start, when I penetrated the Seal, waiting for some shape to appear, the shape of the "Virgin Mary" appeared. Tried to banish it with (now I know why it didn't work!) invoking Pentagram of Fire! (or did I really use the Banishing Pentagram? I am not sure.) It did not work. Then, on my pronouncing the Sacred Words of Banishing, B... O..., the image was shattered to pieces. Afterwards, absolute darkness. Meaning, I saw no images. When I became the arrow and started climbing, I assumed the shape of Apollo the Archer and threw an arrow upwards from my bow, thinking it would help. But apparently it didn't.
Conclusion: Only time, the Anointing of the Seal, and the effects of today's apparently insignificant work in my daily life will show whether tonight's attempt was successful of not.[2]
1—The Seer had occupied his spare time in the four days following the Vision of the Arrow preparing Qabalistic Pentacles around the Seals of the Geni of Liber CCXXXI. He used the Queen Scale throughout. According to what scale you use, you will get results on a different plane of being. We advise beginners to do their experiments based on the Princess Scale. 2—The first part of this series of experiments was conducted in a small utility apartment in a big city. The Seer would lay a straw mat on the floor, consecrate a circle around it, do the Banishings and Invocation from Liber AL, invoke his H.G.A. and the Force radiating from Boleskine, and execute the skrying. When he says "returned to body" he means that he would assume the Sign of Silence and identify his astral with his physical, as per Book Four Part III and Liber O, whether he was sure or not that the experiment had been successful. In short, preparations and finish followed the recommendations in A.C.'s books punctiliously; what variations may show up pertain to the Grade of the Seer, but it will be seen that he never mixed the planes at any time and presumed that, being a M.T. [Magister Templi], he needed not follow the rules, insofar as his physical instrument was concerned.
