Circular Altar of the Vault of the Adepti for the Hermanubis Temple of the Golden Dawn

6/20/20

"Although in the Tomb, the sun does not shine, it is lit by the symbolic Rose of our Order in the center of the first heptagonal ceiling. In the midst of the Tomb stands a circular altar with these devices and descriptions on it:

A.G.R.C., Ad Gloriam Roseae Crucis, 'To honor the cross Roses'

A.C.R.G., Ad Crucis Rosae Gloriam. 'Rose Glory of the Cross'

Hoc Universal Compendium Unius Mihi Sepulchrum Feci. 'Unto the Glory of the Rose Cross I have constructed this Tomb for myself as a compendium of the universal unity.'

"Within the next circle is written: (in Hebrew) Yeheshua Mihi Omnia, 'Yeheshua is all things to me.' In the center are four figures

one [for each] of the letters of the Tetragrammaton:

Yod-Lion-Nequaquam Vacuum-'Nowhere a void.'

Heh-Eagle-Libertas Evangelii-'Liberty of the Gospel.'

Vau-Man-Dei Intacta Gloria-'Unsullied Glory of God.'

Heh (Final)-Ox-Legis Jugum-'Yoke of the Law,'

and in the midst of all is SHIN, the letter of the SPIRIT forming thus the Divine name YEHESHUA, from Tetragrammaton. Therefore, by God's grace having come thus far, let us kneel down together."

[May our Wands be] be joined above the altar in the Future!

Blessed Solstice to the members of the Golden Dawn Temple of Hermanubis!
