TEoMS: The altar in relation to the body

In reference to the segment on Altars from this episode here are some pictures that better illustrate some of the points which were made.

 My personal meditation/ritual altar and is roughly the breadth of my outstretched arms.  I made this altar to fit my body. 

"Depending if one will usually be seated or standing before it, the height of one’s altar should be as tall as their navel. The depth should not exceed one’s reach. Nor should it be wider than a comfortable breadth of their arms ensuring that all items will be accessible to the practitioner."

Some Great Images!

Firmament, Vault, or Expanse

Genesis Chapter 1 : 6 God said, 'Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.' And so it was. 7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault. 8 God called the vault 'heaven'. Evening came and morning came: the second day. 9 God said, 'Let the waters under heaven come together into a single mass, and let dry land appear.' And so it was.

Just as a follow up to  a closing comment I made during the interview with Philip Deslippe regarding the once believed flat world and the dome which covered it.

The Kybalion The Definitive Edition

Episode #023 - The Kybalion with Philip Deslippe

In this episode we look into the history of The Kybalion with author Philip Deslippe, who wrote the extensive introduction for the newly released book The Kybalion, The Definitive Edition. Seemingly shrouded in mystery, The Kybalion has been a popular text for the last one hundred years and has been a big influence in many people’s lives. In the early episodes of this podcast we went through The Kybalion and the seven hermetic laws that it discusses. In our conversation with Philip Deslippe we learn about some of his recent findings in regards to the text and its author William Walker Atkinson and we wrap up our discussion with Atkinson’s lost book The Seven Cosmic Laws just now appearing in print. In A Corner in the Occult we look into famous American occultist, Tarot expert, and author Paul Foster Case. Not only was Case an initiate of the famous Alpha et Omega and even a Freemason, but he was also the founder of the Builders of the Adytum an Order following in the Western Esoteric Tradition which still exists to this day. Later in the show we discuss the magickal altar in The Essence of Magick, read some listener email and embrace some wonderful music by featured artist Jasmine Commerce. All this and more in this great enlightening episode!
