Marcelo Motta Diary Entry Sunday, 19 April 1970
Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
About 1.43 am: make preparations to invoke Geni of Carcer of Lamed. At 1.50 am: Start.
2.10 am: Have not "finished", for the
Geni is still invoked, and I have not yet anointed. Time out
to write down. Very difficult to invoke. Several visions,
banishings, so forth. Eventually followed a line down
to a yellow shoe. SHOE = 60 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 76 = XIII,
which is Death; yellow serves for Air. Since one of the Gods
of this Path is Yama, accepted, but kept on. Very difficult.
Eventually seemed to be before an iron door of some kind.
Called on B-A-H, then said B... O... and started reciting
the Geni's name (an intimation had come, earlier, that the
Geni's name ought to be counted. Also, on pronouncing the
name before, a tendency to equate it with the Portuguese
words "Lava cu",[1]
etc.) This last-mentioned tendency seemed to persist for a
while, then vanished. I passed through a very strange place,
which now occurs to me was underground. It is difficult to
describe. All shapes like this
I will now anoint, and then banish the Vision, and then analyze the Geni's name.

Anointed. Banishing finished at 2.28 am. Will now analyze the name of the Geni.
(Omitted.)
Note: Toward the end I turned also into what seemed a green apple.

as it were a cave. Tones of green and blue, I seem to
remember, but yellow too. I assumed shape of Set. Later on,
it occurred to me that the shape was leaning on one side. I
tried to correct this, and assumed Asana, always pronouncing
the Geni's name. Then the words of
