CHAPTER
I
THE TEMPLE
THE
Temple
represents
the
external
Universe.
The
Magician
must take it as he finds it,
so that it is of no par-
ticular
shape;
yet we find
written,
Liber VII, vi, 2: "We
made
us
a
Temple of stones in the shape of the Universe,
even as thou didst
wear
openly
and I concealed."
This shape is the Vesica
Piscis;
but it is only
the greatest of the Magicians
who can thus fashion
the Temple.
There
may, however,
be some choice
of rooms;
this refers to the power of the
Magician to reincarnate
in a suitable
body.
