This is a strange variant of the ritual, with the unicursal hexagram and rose, as well as unusual names for the LVX signs. What is its provenance? Why not use the form from Liber O? --Paradoxosalpha 00:59, 21 Jan 2005 (CST)


I'm sorry to flat out replace an entire article, but this one should really reference the traditional version of LRH from Liber O. If there are other forms out there in common use, they can be placed in the External Links section. This article also needs a brief intro to what this ritual is supposed to do...in other words, why perform it? (please draw from Crowley or other source, not your own opinion). Fr.

Besides external linking, another way to reference ritual variants is by simple description. An article subsection entitled "Variants" could indicate, for example, that "Some contemporary practitioners use unicursal hexagrams at all of the quarters, projected after the manner of the pentagrams in the Star Ruby, rather than drawn. This change has the virtue of involving a lineal figure especially identified with Thelema, as well as simplifying the overall procedure. On the other hand, it does remove a layer of elemental symbolism that was explicit in the original ceremony."--Paradoxosalpha 11:35, 22 Jan 2005 (CST)
