Some of the most significant material in the E.Q. research archives has been collated in this book to present a non-denominational astrologically synchronised ritual formula for self-initiation, which has been tried and tested around the world for several decades. The experience of the Ordeal X is shown to begin with a celebration of the conjunction of the Sun and Venus, a celestial event that marks the first point of a geocentric pentagram and initiates the candidate's ordeal of purification. The completion of the remaining four points, correlated to the Zodiac signs Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn, is a rectification of duality within the psyche. 418=LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS CAPRICORN is the House of Initiation, whose astro-magickal operations integrate the observable cosmic reality with the candidate's own personal reality. Rituals included.
