For anyone that's interested, I've found two Greek variants of the chakra system, one Latin (related to one of the Greek) and one Egyptian example of the chakra system. Links to my sources will be below.
The first Greek set I found comes from Gnosticism. Gnostics associate the "seven churches in Asia" found in Revelations with the chakras. These seven churches are Greek cities in western Turkey, one of which the US got the name of its first capital city from. I tried the Hellenistic pronunciation of the Greek names of these cities in the given sequence and they seem to work well enough, at least. The sequence for these, which I numbered 1-7 from top to bottom (crown to base), is:
1. Laodicea
2. Philadelphia
3. Sardis
4. Thyatira
5. Pergamos
6. Smyrna
7. Ephesus
The second Greek set I found comes from the works of Pluto's Timaeus. I have yet to try these but will after I finish working with the runes for this purpose. The Latin set is a direct cross over with the Plutonic chakras so these will be given alongside one another:
1. Koruphe/Vertex
2. Enkephalos/Cerebrum
3. Trachelos/Collum
4. Phrenes/Cor
5. Gaster/Abdomen
6. Gonades/Genitalia
7. Hieron Osteon/Os Sacrum
The Egyptian set derives from a series of temples along the Nile which, as we all know, resembles a brain and spine. I'm not sure if the names of the temples can be used as mantras but their associated gods' names, definitely. For that reason the temple and god names will be side by side in the same manner as the Plutonic chakras:
1. Per-Wadjet/Wadjet
2. Heliopolis/Horus
3. Hermopolis/Thoth
4. Denderah (Abydos may work too, it doesn't seem clear to me on that)/Hathor
5. Luxor (or Karnak)/Sekhmet
6. Kom Ombo/Sobek
7. Elephantine/Khnum
I also found a page on Egyptian tantra worth looking at.
I'd love any feedback and possible corrections to the info I've given to help refine and expand the deeper practices of these cultures, especially since I plan on using such practices.
