FOOTNOTE TO THE HEX SIGNS STUFF

It occurs to me that a picture will elucidate my somewhat muddy prose regarding

drawing all the runes in one "master rune". See attached. (And now you all

know my secret: I can't draw worth a damn!!!) Perhaps someone can explain to

me why I was associating the four elements with a cube - that's nuts. The

better association is the four directions plus up and down - the same six

directions referenced in the Ganesha Upanishad and in the Banishing Ritual

(Hagal acted out) so central to Western Magick. Consider too: "hex" meaning

"six" is central too to the Yi King, whose sublime wisdom is expressed in 64

HEXagrams. "Hex," I've thought for a long time, is one of English's stranger

words...it has a pure arithmetical - i.e., six - meaning but it is also used

in a magickal context...as when one puts a hex on someone. Or wards off a

hex. Of course the root hex from which we all suffer is the illusion that we

and Divinity are not-One. I find that Ganesha is real good at warding off that

one...
