THE O.T.O. MAN OF EARTH DEGREES
AND THE HINDU CHAKRAS

By Aleister Crowley

Figure of chakras showing correspondence to degrees

O.T.O degrees correspond to Chakras thus:

Ajna and Mülâdhara
Vishuddha
II°Anahata
III°Svadisthâna
IV°Ajna and Manipüra
P.I.  Sahasrâra

The above table and diagrammatic representation are derived from a marginal note to the figure "The Yogi" in Crowley's copy of Equinox I (4).  The original note runs as follows:

Chakras correlated with O.T.O. thus (starting from top):
1 = P.I.  2 = Minerval (& IV°)  3 = I° 
4 = II°  5 = IV°  6 = III°  7 = Minerval.

A further explanation of these correspondences would involve discussion of certain "secrets" of these degrees and is therefore not appropriate for this place.
