CHAPTER IX.
Tartology.
THE WONDERFUL PROPERTIES OF THE TEST BOOK TAROTS.
HE strange properties of the Mystic Test Book are beautifully illustrated by means of the tarots made from its magic pages. The ancients called these tarots "Magic" squares or "Magi" squares, and they are found carved upon stone upon ancient monuments.
The squares thus found, however, are those made of ordinary numerals, because the ones made of the symbols of the Test Book are much more difficult to represent upon stone, besides being held as too sacred to be thus made public.
But the sacred quality is looked upon quite from a different standpoint now. The Order regards the Test Book and all the other matters connected with our religion and work as "sacred," only in the sense that all knowledge is sacred.
