Rh mysticism, and the universal Religion of the Stars, as proven by the numerous examples we have in tarots, stars, etc. In the Grand Temple at Chicago, we have a cross on a large chart, called the "Cross of OM," which I have reproduced for the benefit 'of our readers at a distance. This Cross possesses certain mathematical qualities which make it a co-ordination nearly as remarkable as the mystic triangle or the sextuple star.
