Magic Circle and Lamen: The Crystal-Gazing Diagram
A seated practitioner faces a small table bearing a crystal within a circular diagram. Radial lines surround the arrangement, with labels for universal attraction and universal repulsion. The caption names the Magic Circle and Lamen. The image combines a proposed practice setting with the author’s occult explanation of its forces, giving the furniture and symbolic geometry a common centre.
