You might be grinnin' when you say that but it's not a bad idea at all! We've had a bit of discussion locally about offering some 'basic calligraphy' workshops along with a kind of 'Intro to the Hebrew AlephBeth' for new initiates...I think it might could work. Course, I'm about as artistic as a brick, so it might not work for *me*, but I'm sure many of us could benefit therefrom. ;> Love is the law, love under will. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Christeos Pir Area: MagickNet To: Rose Dawn 28 Dec 94 19:28:30 Subject: Re: PICTURE RITUALS UpdReq -=> Rose Dawn sent a message to Helrunar on 22 Dec 94 06:45:51 <=- -=> Re: Re: PICTURE RITUALS <=- Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

I wouldn't do them like a series of heiroglyphics, but as a picture that is a whole, but still readable upon one level or another... to take your example, it might be a picture of Faust in his study, with those elements you mention visible in the scene.
