From North to South.
What
is the breadth
of this Temple?
From East to West.
What is the height of this Temple?
From the Abyss
to the Abyss.
There
is,
therefore,
nothing
movable
or immovable
under the whole
firmament
of heaven which
is
not
included in
this pantacle,
though
it
be but " eight inches
in diameter,
and in thickness
half an inch."
Fire
is
not
matter
at
all;
water
is
a
combination
of elements;
air
almost
entirely
a
mixture
of
elements;
earth
contains
all
both
in
admixture
and in combination.
So must
it
be with
this Pantacle,
the symbol
of earth.
And
as this Pantacle
is
made of pure wax, do not forget that "every-
thing
that lives
is
holy."
All phenomena
are
sacraments.
Every fact, and
even
every
falsehood,
must enter into the Pantacle;
it
is
the great storehouse
from
which
the Magician draws.
" In the brown
cakes of corn we shall taste the food of the world
and
be strong."

We
have
avoided
dealing
with
the
Pantacle
as the
Paten
of the Sacrament,
though special instructions
about
it
are given in Liber Legis.
It
is
composed of meal,
honey,
wine,
holy oil, and blood.
