By meditation we obtain the vision of a new world, even as the world of micro- organisms was unsuspected for centuries of thinking— thinking without method—bricks without straw!

This symbolizes the law of the new Aeon of the Child Horns, which has supplanted that Aeon of the “Dying God” which governed the world for two thousand years. Before him is the woman girt with a sword; she represents the Scarlet Woman in the hierarchy of the new Aeon. This sym‐ bolism is further carried out in the oriel where, behind the phallic headdress, the rose of five petals is in blossom. The symbolism of the snake and dove refers to …
