Marcelo Motta Diary Entry Wednesday, 23 July 1969
Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
About 1.15 am. Will visit the Path of Pe.
1.22 am: Desultory. No vision. Visualization of Dhyana of Eye over the Pyramid of June 1962 e.v. (was it 1962? . . .). Will now invoke Geni of the Dome of Pe.
1.38 am: A candle, white, like a phallus. I bathed in the flame, which seemed to cleanse me. Then a white tower. Preparations for war. Then I rose. Surrounded by either indigo or purple (?) color. Rose more. Dissatisfied, used the Pentagram of Fire. First invoked, then remembered I must banish to get the pure force.[1] I was dissatisfied. Repeated the name of the Geni several times. He seemed at last to incorporate in me, after being adjured in the name of Therion and in the Word ABRAHADABRA. I demanded a token of submission. At last, intimation came to me that I should count the Geni's name in Greek, which I shall do now. (This was done.) Very insatisfactory, all of it. Therefore, will not consecrate tonight; and will invoke again tomorrow, or rather, during the day.
August 7: Not "insatisfactory" (This note began about 0.07 am L.T. [Local Time]). I was going to invoke the Geni, but he answered correctly. For the Path of Pe is crossed by the Path of Samekh, XIV, and belongs to Mars, 5. The Geni was correct. Shall anoint now, at this late date, and remind myself to study all crossed Paths on the Tree.
Done anointing. About 0.20 am, prepare to invoke Geni of Carcer of Pe.
About 0.30 am: On invoking, practically immediately the Palace (or Tower) of the Geni approached. I entered it. Dark. Many corridors. Confusion. Suddenly, seeming to go backwards, but down, which is the way to go.[2] Then, stony way twisting in a spiral, down and down. Right then, the Sigil fell from my head. I picked it up, and reinvoked. A train going down, far away, through green land. Silver colored? No, I thought, steel, of course. And then suddenly the train came to a crossroads through two tunnels. At once I banished with Pentagram of Fire, pronouncing the corresponding Name. The two tunnel mouths were the nostrils of a giant animal, spurting fire. It is a fire storm. The Pentagram is twisted away in its violence. I make it stay, but it is an effort. Then I trace the Invoking Hexagram of Fire and say ARARITA. At once the storm is ended, the two triangles are quiet and clear and peaceful, golden yellow fire quietly glowing. And the thought came to me that "If I am one, I shall not give way to anger". Then I started finding mystical meanings in this; then, "A fie upon this thinking!" and the thought that I must study the Word ARARITA. Then, feeling I had achieved contact, I returned. I think now, if I use this Invoking Hexagram of Fire when I am about to get angered, I will not get angered—which is very useful for somebody who gets angry so easily! Now, to anoint the Seal.
Done. And now to study the Crossed Paths and the Word ARARITA (0.50 L.T.).
Note: Too much oil on lower right angle of Hexagram of Sigil of Parfaxitas. Almost went overboard. Will have to check at a later date if it did, after all. The Venus angle . . . Pe unites Hod and Netzach, of course.
ARARITA = 813 = 3 x 271 (prime).
1—Meaning, if you want to invoke any force in its purity you must first banish all manifested forces, including the one that you want in its pure form, and then invoke the desired force. This exactly analogous to an experiment in chemistry. 2—The Seer was gradually being instructed on how to deal with Liber CCXXXI. To reach the Domes one must go up; to reach the Carcers, one must go down. To stay level is to stagnate.
