Musk
A substance obtained from a sac under the skin of the abdomen of the male musk deer, a small animal inhabiting high altitudes of central Asia. The very best musk is obtained in Tibet.
The main power of musk is in its, so to say, “fiery laboratory” which intensifies the forces of the centers thus nourishing the weaker organs with fire. It must be understood that the finer organism will react positively upon being saturated with fire, while those that are influenced by earthly attractions may experience the reverse. There can be signs of temporary illness, but if in such cases musk is taken regularly, these strange reactions can be avoided. The fiery property of musk is its greatest power. It must also be understood that in a fiery organism the effect of musk is increased by the fiery centers.
The power of the fiery centers should be treated with great care. The transmutation of centers, which tenses the Psychic Energy so powerfully, intensifies also every kind of reaction of the fiery substance! Therefore, speaking of musk, we must note the inner reaction which tenses every fiery substance.
Musk is irreplaceable and harmless. It is given for general use for maintaining balance, a prophylactic against many illnesses including cancer.
Musk, according to all the ancient sources, is related to the sun and not to Venus. For mental work musk is especially beneficial. (LHR I, p 256)
