Marcelo Motta Diary Entry Tuesday, 2 September 1969
Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
About 2.53 am L.T. [Local
Time], prepare to invoke
3 am: start. 3.06 am: I did not succeed in seeing anything. Hostile thoughts interfering constantly. First, the door opened inwards, instead of outwards, and water poured out. Then I was in a dark, narrow chamber, suspended among air and water somehow. Banished by Pentagram of Air, and invoked by same. The rest of the vision was mostly suspended among clouds, although I did invoke Aquarius by the Inverted Pentagram of Air.
Will now invoke the Geni; however, a short interruption first to refill pen.
Must put down, for whatever it is worth, that I spilled ink from the inkstand and some fell on the floor and some on my thumb and two first fingers of my left hand. Blue ink, which was dried with blue toilet paper.
Avout 3.20 am, will invoke Geni of Dome
of
About 3.31: as far as I could judge,
complete failure to make contact with the Geni. On invoking,
curiously enough, got a Brazilian "countryside" landscape:
an orchard, a cabin. An ugly face from the cabin, used
banishing pentagram of air; cabin vanished; only brush and
mist. The mist turned into gigantic white foot and leg: the
Geni was a giant. I grew and assumed shape of Shu; thought
of crushing Geni underfoot but didn't. Then abruptly, Starry
Space. So I invoked B-A-H-; five times, for
I recollect, somewhat later, an Eastern-like chamber; after, I think, Invoking Hexagram of Air. Also, a city seen from afar. Finally returned.
Conclusion: utter failure, maybe due to day's happenings?
