Butthole Chakra

Excerpt from Tobin Mitnick interview

 

Tobin Oh, my God, my friend. I'm about to open up the universe to you.

Max I can't wait. Open my third eye, daddy.

Tobin OK, cool, this is going to be great. Your third eye? Is the same thing as your nether eye?

Max What's a nether eye?

Tobin A nether eye is from a— oh, gosh, who's the motherfucker who wrote the first thing in English from 1399? Geoffrey Chaucer! I think it's in The Wife of Bath's Tale where she's telling some really bawdy thing and it's like, "He bent down and kissed her nether eye." It's a butthole.

Max Oh.

Tobin I could have just said it's a butthole. Oh wait, third eye, I get it. Third eye's just in the middle of your forehead.

Max Yeah. I think the second chakra. Is there a butthole chakra? There must be a butthole chakra or something that's related to the butthole.

Tobin Max, I want a full write-up please.

 
 

 
 

Editor’s note: Muladhara, the root chakra, is located near the base of the spine,. It is associated with elemental earth and, among other things, the butthole.
