Fig. iii. Here iii is the Ru (Egyptian An, see
supra) .
Fig. iii.
" The root or key to our Operative Arch Masonry is the half-circle,
the circle and the sign as fig. iii. This figure iii is the unit that we
are to use to draw the Seven. Give me the length of the unit simply
by two pinholes, and I will draw the figure without any pencil
or rule, simply a pair of compasses. Fig. iii in the Operative
system refers to Life." (See Speculative explanation supra.)
Fig.
112 is the Northern division of Heaven
into twelve parts, (see " Signs and Symbols ").
Heaven was divided into twelve divisions of the
North, and twelve divisions of the South during
Stellar Cult, and we have here the representation
of the same. These are the twelve divisions of
Heaven, the twelve Camps of the Stellar Cult, the
twelve Tribes of the Children of Israel, and various
other twelves in many forms. Fig. 1 13 gives various
angles and points for the information of the builder.
All the foregoing are of pure old Stellar Cult
origin, and I will now give two of their Solar
innovations.
