The Celtic Cross

When laid out, the ten plates remain veiled. Touch each station, from I to X, to unfold the reading gradually.

1. I. The Heart — The central nature of the matter and present force.
2. II. The Crossing — The force that crosses, tests or complements the center.
3. III. The Crown — The conscious aim or higher aspiration.
4. IV. The Root — The unconscious foundation and prior causes.
5. V. The Past — The recent influence now receding.
6. VI. The Near Future — The immediate current beginning to form.
7. VII. The Querent — The inner posture toward the situation.
8. VIII. The Environment — External circumstances and influence of others.
9. IX. Hopes and Fears — Inner tension between aspiration and caution.
10. X. The Synthesis — The cumulative outcome of the forces in operation.
