There is amongst the linear pathway of the circle, triangle, cross and pentacle, a sigillated projection of the magician’s potentialities, a hieroglyphic codex of his self-overcoming. The subtle geometries which link the words and deeds, the vibrations and sensations, of the magician to the trajectories of his going forth into Otherness are visibly indicated by the mundane objects of the rite: the linear representations and iconography. These give Form to the invisible forces of alignment which are realized in the apotheosis of emotive intuition: the Gnostic revelation in the midst of the obsession-encircled heart.
