Hi Everyone!

I found Franz Bardon's book Initiation Into Hermetics about 10 years
ago,
but never had the willpower to build the exercises into my daily life.
Last year
in spring I didn't only find a way to do that but also this wonderful
e-group
e_franzbardon which led me to several even more wonderful sites that
give tips
for bardon students (my top favourite by the way clearly is
www.abardoncompanion.com :-).
Since I'm mainly interested in practical tips on magical practices and
not so much
in theoretical and theosophical discussions I'm glad that this group has
been founded
and wish Rawn all the best with this group.
Unfortunately I had a "magical break" the last 2 months so, I have much
to practice and
read (303 posts in january alone; this is amazing!)

Enough chattering about myself, now my question, however I'm not sure if
it's welcome here.
It is not strictly bardon related but rawn related but it's very
practical, so I give it a
try in this group:
In the 8 Temples meditation rawn casts a ritual circle and I have no
idea how I should
Visualize that. I know there is a description of how a ritual circle
could look like
in the Geburah temple but is it always done with a sword? (Where is this
sword lying/standing
until Rawn begins) What is this ritual circle for?
What do all the other members of the meditation do during your ritual
circle? Are they
Just standing around, waiting till Rawn is finished with the circle?

Greetings and thanks
Andi
