The picture? A leatherbound book. In the traditions of the Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose and the orders and systems related to it, the book is the emblem and working tool of elemental air. This is one of the distinctive habits of the FHR, since many other traditions assign something else -- usually but not always a dagger -- as the working tool of air. Dr. Juliet Ashley, the founder of the order that evolved into the FHR, made the change for two reasons. First, in her time and in ours, there were endless squabbles over whether the wand corresponded to fire and the dagger to air, or vice versa, and she wanted to put an end to that. Second, for a variety of reasons, she didn't want to include an iron blade in the toolkit of the working mage. The book as the working tool of air solves both problems, and works well in practice.

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here.
