Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
About 0.08: Start Inv.[ocation] Geni of Carcer of ח.
About 0.25: at start, a room full (or rather, lines) by beautiful structures, pink and salmon, I think. Hard to break out of it. Then taking the form of a Crab, I drew through. And I was in a cave under the sea. The verse from VII came to me: "I creep under thy carapace . . ." Also, the verse of AL, "Nu is your refuge." So here the Crab—the Hermit Crab—finds its refuge from the world.
But I was not satisfied, and invoked
again. This time I went down—down—down—into the soft,
helicoidal corridor, and at last arrived to a chamber where
was a coffin with a scarlet cross on it. I banished (white

This time the opening was a gullet, and I went down it into a stomach. And then it occurred to me that the anus—the last stage of this—is the Eye of Hoor. But with this came a feeling of maudlin satisfaction which I eschewed. And then I arrived to the eye, which was filmy glass, and broke through, and fell into a cave where I assumed a bat shape (though perhaps this was before). And then a gigantic figure, lit by earth-core fire. And this was either Pluto or Vulcan. It was hard to identify myself with it. I kept seeing it apart from me. So, thoroughly dissatisfied, I tried to meditate on the shape of the Geni's seal, and thoughts of the Eagle mentioned in LXV came. But still dissatisfied with this, I banished the Vision.
Conclusion: have not made contact with the Geni, and must try again.

Osiris. So I dais the words from VII. But still I was not
satisfied, and said B... O... and invoked again. For LVX is
past.
