| The Cup and Cross of Suffering, the Wine |
Magical Weapon |
The Cross of Suffering refers to the now superseded formula of Osiris. See the original emblem of the Hermetic Order of the Golden, a triangle surmounted by a Cross. The Cup is the traditional elemental weapon of Water. The Wine fills the Cup — it is the divine ecstasy entering the receptive part of the nature of the magician. The Water of Lustration in the Cup of Stolistes balances the Fire in the thurible of Dadouchos. |
