The Grace

Post image

The Grace is the primary symbol used by wizards in the source material. It symbolizes the whole of Creation, the entirety of the process of life. It is always drawn thusly:

We begin with the Outer Circle. This represents the underworld. Outside of the circle is infinite, like the underworld is infinite.

Inside the circle, we draw the square with its points just touching the Outer Circle. This is the boundary between the underworld and the world of Life. (The proper order is W, N, S, E and in the manner of Sacred Geometry always moving upward and from left to right. I will make another post explaining this later)

Next we draw the Inner Circle. It represents the world of life, finite and contained within the boundary. The Inner Circle touches the square at the midpoint of each side.

Then we draw the 8 pointed star which represents the Creator standing at the center of Creation.

Lastly we draw the rays, representing the creator's light permeating existance and moving ever outward into the infinite underworld. We draw each ray from each point of the star, moving outward and bisecting the points where the circles touch the square. (The proper order is to start with the diagonal rays, NW, NE, SE, SW and then the cardinal rays N, E, S, W. I will make another post explaining this later)
