Making a Cross

04/28/2026 14:58h
Of 385 varieties, to make the simplest all you need are two sticks: one vertical; the other, horizontal. Call one time; one, space or life—death, good—evil, male—female. You choose. Any polarity will do as long as the cross-piece cuts across the one upright. Now, it's a human form with arms outstretched. Rub them together. A couple of sparks, a few more, a flash of light, a slow increase in heat, and radiating around you: uncontainable fire.
