			==Visualizing the Hexagrams==
			Liber O provides no specifics on the colors of the hexagrams drawn in this ritual.

			One possibility is to use a set of four colors attributed to the elements (such as red, green, yellow, and blue), assigning each to the appropriate hexagram.

			Another option is to consistently employ the color scheme called the "Hexagram of Nature," in which the ascending triangle is red, and the descending triangle is blue.

			Yet another approach would be to use the Hexagram of Magick, specified as the "Holy Hexagram" in chapter 69 of ''The Book of Lies'' and Crowley's comment to it. In that hexagram, the upward-pointing triangle is blue, representing the purity of aspiration in the magician. The downward-pointing triangle is red, to symbolize the inspiration from the Genius or [[Holy Guardian Angel]].
