Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Crowley/GD: Peace, a quarrel settled and resolved, peace restored but some tension remaining. Crowley objects to the Golden Dawns ‘peace restored’ because he says there has been no disturbance, and he likens this card to the negative form of a positive idea and the masterful chastity of an honorable knight.
Portable Magic: Build the triangle of realization in the manner already described on the western side of the circle so that the triangle points toward the west. If you are seated in the west facing east, the triangle will point toward you. The west is the appropriate quarter for the location of the triangle in the ritual of union because the west is the quarter of elemental Water in the system of the Golden Dawn, and Water is the element associated with psychic activity.

Portable Magic: At the same time, visualize yourself on the astral level pointing in turn with your right hand at the glowing rectangles of light that float above each zodiacal trump while slowly turning clockwise on your own axis. As you utter each name, mentally project the symbol of its sign into the rectangle in glowing golden light. Take the time to see each symbol clearly before moving on to the next trump.
