Sorry, I was only joking.
Has anyone noticed that the Rose at the centre of the cross looks more like a Ruby.
Rosea Rubea et Aurea Crucis.
That's interesting... The Ruby Rose might mean that Will has taken over the 'god of the white dot'.
In a closer ( or wider) inspection, there are quite a lot of little white dots in the drawing, as a part of four symbols (which I can assume to be representatives of earth, fire, water and air, the dots or discs representing earth). So I can reason that Crowley was degrading God as we know it, by making himself, his Will into God. And all the other dots are the 'gods' that seem to be moving toward, or being suck into- the rose-cross (and the Ruby Rose at the center).
Analyzing my own speculation I can see how Crowley has just replaced the name, and not the idea. For if the Ruby Rose is the center, it can be 'hacked' into and through it correspond to all parts of the world. It is God, with a different name.
I don't think I am pleased with this theory, though I have a few others to back it up (like that he believed in reincarnation because of fear of death).
Can anyone think of another idea?
