Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH

 

Introduction

 

 

 

Start 0.15h; finished 0.35h. Invoked Seal of Geni of Carcer—Qliphah of Sagittarius. Saw nothing; but impulse came to me to sum up the letters of the name of the Geni. Also, I was pronouncing his name (I think it is a "he") wrongly.

 

Also, had an impulse to put Seal on top of my head[2] and recite the Invocations of Spirit[3] while in such a position. Afterwards, anointed the Seal.[4]

 

Numeration of SKSKSLIM: 60 + 20 + 60 + 20 + 60 + 30 + 10 + 40 = 100 + 120 + 40 + 40 =220 + 80 = 300, which, of course, equals (omitted) and equals Shin. Very interesting. Perhaps the Geni was indicating his harmony with my Will.

 

 

1—The lapse of several days between visions should be noted. The Seer was not only working for his living (as a teacher of English) but persisting in a never-ending magickal battle against hostile currents in one of the last bastions of Roman Catholicism in the world. He only had energy to spare because one of his pupils had reached Neophyte and had been put in charge of dealing with Probationers.

2—Cf. The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage.

3—Cf. The Forty-Eight Calla, First and Second Keys [The Vision and the Voice].

4—With Oil of Abramelin.
