Journal Designing a personal Rose Cross Lamen

First draw some circles and lines.

Then draw the rest of the Rose Cross

The celestial attributions are somewhat unique. The Kerubic signs are still attributed to the pentagrams. If there's interest they may be posted later after some experiments, along with any adjustments.

In case I pull a Da Vinci and leave this journal hanging unfinished the following layout of the Body of Nuit will help anyone interested in inferring from the source of celestial attributions.

 

[Kepler]

Decided to follow the counterclockwise arrangement of the pent Kerubs set by the GD and begin with Fire(Water, Air, then Earth).
It corresponds with the Rose, the spatial requirements, and beginning the year at Sagittarius(Fire) Solstice on the Time Tree before precession brings that solstice point on the ecliptic square to Sgr A* in 200 hundred years .

Using elemental symbols alone doesn't give enough to distinguish and will follow the GD again with symbols for the constellations. The first issue with following constellations that stands out is the convention of the Eagle for Scorpio and the attribution of Aquila on a hexagram. There's other symbols for Scorpio, and Aquila has flying serpent qualities. Choices to be made, statements, touchstones and experiments.

Having the attributions now for the Pentagrams and Hexagrams it's time to move onto the Dodecagram.

Replacing the Primum Mobile and the resulting Hexagram in the classic RC with something that corresponds to my hylopsykic understanding of the natural universe and human relationship to its cycles came from viewing my relationship to the cosmos from gravity centers of Earth, Sun, Sgr A* and The Great Attractor(partly inspired by Hypatia's opening lines in Agora with interdimensional gravity theory).

Long story short it's possible to coherently pattern the 12 apparent "planets" of the solar system as viewed from Earth listed above, to the hours of the day through attribution to the dodecagram. Using solar noon and midnight instead of dawn to sync to a modern natural astronomical understanding with common usage of civil time and calendar keeping.
The Tridecagram is a different arrangement of the planets with Sgr A* for "weeks"(Tridecans) and lunar months.
Both ordered from the apparent qualities of the celestial bodies.

Doing all this has helped clarify a few things and confirmed others for me.

One of the things it's helping clarify is attribution for the radiance between the arms of the Cross. Being attributed to the celestial background and trying to synthesize with a modern astronomical understanding to hylo-metaphor is challenging, but a benefit of working on the lamen is the reduction removes the unnecessary. Meaning it's clarified my attributions for replacement of the Veils of Negative Existence listed above in trying to find a way to include.

 

[Kepler]

The kites in the crossquarters are attributed to Space, Time, Energy & Matter.
The others are the pillars and relic radiations CMB and CνB implying earliest stages of the universe and a correspondence with traditional Emyprean fire for hylometaphoric connection.

Now to proceed to the Rose...

Before proceeding to Class M programming for the Rose, the alchemical elements on the GD Cross that hasn't been addressed which should be before going on, are the alchemical elements. They're implied in the shape of the paired 3-4-5 triangles at the points. In this design these are currently placeheld to recognize and fill Nothingness in permutations of 0.12.

However, like the formulas for the kites and rhombi there will conversion involved once the Rose is fully attributed.

Things are going so fast I haven't had a chance to draw a Tree with paths to colour yet. However, I can describe some aspects of the Rose to give an idea of the attribution process that shows how the Tree helps harmonize.

The outer ring of the Rose is the ecliptic divided into 12 sections, each with a constellation. This is to mark the apparent position of the Sun from the Class M planet during the year and attribute to season. The discussed design is for Northern Hemisphere, but with adjustment along axes, being mindful of Polaris, it can be redrawn for Southern. Something I hadn't considered before as I had another idea for the other side with earlier RC, but with the new layout both could be drawn on opposite sides.

For the zodiacal outer ring, the Solstice points are the vertical lines between Taurus & Gemini and Scorpio & Sagittarius. The Equinoctial points, the horizontal, Aquarius & Pisces and Leo and Virgo.

Pisces is the sea-green colour, proceeding counter-clockwise Aries and Taurus for Spring. The other seasons follow and the colour wheel adjusted to be accurate, sympathetic and distinct frequencies of colour range for each season and sign.

The planetary arrangement follows the descent of apparent qualities run along a unicursal geometry titled the Key of It All received from visions with Liber CCXXXI. I previously used it to effectively rearrange the Zodiac for my previous Cabala. It's interesting that it works so perfectly for the planetary in this instance.

The elements are arranged to formula, taking into account the nature of each in relationship to the rest of the design, and the center, completing all in unanimity toward The Great Work.

Some quotes underlined that contribute to directive for my Rose Cross from

One Star in Sight

1. The Order of the Star called S. S. is, in respect of its existence upon the Earth, an organized body of men and women distinguished among their fellows by the qualities here enumerated. They exist in their own Truth, which is both universal and unique. They move in accordance with their own Wills, which are each unique, yet coherent with the universal will.

They perceive (that is, understand, know, and feel) in love, which is both unique and universal.

...

8. The Grade of Adeptus Exemptus confers authority to govern the two lower Orders of R. C. and G. D.

The Adept must prepare and publish a thesis setting forth His knowledge of the Universe, and his proposals for its welfare and progress. He will thus be known as the leader of a school of thought.

...

To attain the Grade of Magister Templi, he must perform two tasks; the emancipation from thought by putting each idea against its opposite, and refusing to prefer either; and the consecration of himself as a pure vehicle for the influence of the order to which he aspires.

...

Should he fail, by will or weakness, to make his self-annihilation absolute, he is none the less thrust forth into the Abyss; but instead of being received and reconstructed in the Third Order, as a Babe in the womb of our Lady BABALON, under the Night of Pan, to grow up to be Himself wholly and truly as He was not previously, he remains in the Abyss, secreting his elements round his Ego as if isolated from the Universe, and becomes what is called a "Black Brother". Such a being is gradually disintegrated from lack of nourishment and the slow but certain action of the attraction of the rest of the Universe, despite efforts to insulate and protect himself, and to aggrandise himself by predatory practices. He may indeed prosper for a while, but in the end he must perish, especially when with a new Aeon a new word is proclaimed which he cannot and will not hear, so that he is handicapped by trying to use an obsolete method of Magick, like a man with a boomerang in a battle where every one else has a rifle.

Here at the start of a new Aeon, a potential Black Brother reaching Exempt Adept under the new word could in theory exist somewhat secure for a long, long, long time. But, the latter part of the final paragraph is more compelling at this time to look into as an indicator of those that embrace the obsolete method of Magick in how they react to the formulas of my Rose Cross as it embraces the new method, being unique, universal and Truth.

 

[Kepler]

After doing Celestial Hexagram workings with the Full Moon riding the Dragon's Tail to conjunct with the Sgr A* in prep for the Galactic Hexagram(try and parse that phrase outer order!), creating suitable symbols for the points that mark the South and North directions of the Axis Mundi for the hexagram of the Celestial Equator has come around. They should take into account the directions of the axis of the the Galactic and Supergalactic Hexagrams also. There's ideas, but their reduction, refining and mounting may have to wait until the other hexagrams are brought fully online.

Sidebar: It's always bothered that the unicursal is commonly attributed to the planets by being placed on the tree. It's like those that did this never read "Don't mistake the map for the terrain". It goes unquestioned, unchallenged. That arrangement doesn't even work with Liber V pentagrams demarking celestial points on the ecliptic. Which the Celestial Hexagram does through attribution to the Celestial Equator and Axis Mundi with the same elemental formula.
And when I say the CE formula adds depth, I also mean dimension.
