Q.
Explain the see-saw.
A. The see-saw is the toy of a child, the young Horus.
Emblematically, it represents balance and change, which are the essential
ingredients of the Work. Its name is also a reference to the constitution of
personal history through memory, and to the division of subject and object in
the act of perception.
Q. Explain the bricks of straw.
A. The bricks of
straw are a Masonic emblem. The red triangle represents the sand, the blue
triangle represents the clay, and the golden letter represents the straw. The
heat required to bake the earth and straw into bricks is symbolic of the Great
Work.
Q. What is the word of the Sacred Law?
A. The word of the Law is
Thelema. The red triangle represents the Angel under the type or eidolon of
Ra-hoor-khuit, the Lord of the Aeon. The blue triangle represents the aspiration
of the magician. The golden letter represents the True Will, or the point of
intersection between the human and the divine.

flaw?

Project depends.

the fangs of the hound Eternity in this my throat!
