Hierophant Wands-

Hierophant Wand with 6 pointed crown

Past-Hierophant Wand with 12 pointed crown

"The Hierophant is the Master of the Hall, seated in the East of the Temple, on the outer side of the Veil Paroketh, to rule the Temple under the Presidency of the Chiefs. There he fills the place of a Lord of the Paths of the Portal of the Vault of the Adepts, acting as Inductor to the Sacred Mysteries. His office is represented by two Godforms, the Active and Passive aspects of Osiris. Seated as Hierophant, he is clothed in the Godform of Osiris, who never moves from the Dias. When the Hierophant has to move from the Dias, he is covered by the form of Osiris in action-Hoor-Ouer, Horus the Elder, which us built up by the past Hierophant." ~pg 55~

By using a 12-pointed mitre, a definite change was felt and the power of the Sceptre was definitely increased to a higher and more directional level. Brodie-Innes wrote a letter to Felkin, about the imbalance of the ten-pointed sceptre, in 1896, though no solution was offered. Taylor and others at Whare Ra, made similar comments. After a great deal of experimentation by Thoth-Hermes members, a 12-pointed mitre-head was found to be ideal"...
