CHAPTER IX
THE PANTACLE
AS
the Magick Cup is the heavenly food of the Magus,
so
is the Magick Pantacle
his earthly food.
The Wand
was his divine
force, and the Sword
his human
force.
The
Cup
is
hollow
to
receive
the
influence
from
above.
The
Pantacle
is flat like the fertile
plains of earth.
The name Pantacle
implies
an image
of the All,
07n?ie in paruo;
but
this is by a magical
transformation
of the Pantacle.
Just
as we made the
Sword
symbolical
of everything
by the force of our Magick, so do we work
upon
the
Pantacle.
That
which
is
merely
a
piece
of common
bread
shall
be the body of God !
The Wand
was the will of man, his wisdom,
his word ; the Cup was
his
understanding,
the
vehicle
of grace;
the
Sword
was
his
reason;
and the Pantacle
shall be his body, the temple of the Holy
Ghost.
What
is the length of this Temple?
