Writer referred to the Fallen and Reflected Triangle Diagram as the Source of these TriangularHexagram
Configurations(asutilizedintheR.R.etA.C.HexagramRitual)inRitualPraxisforOpeningspublishedcirca2010
in Hermetic Virtues Magazine. If one examines this paper along with unedited Order documents there are a few
interestingsuggestions.
ThefollowingquoteisfromtheA.O.HexagramRitual:
"TheHexagramiscomposedofthetwotrianglesofFireandWaterconjoinedbyasinglesymbol.Theyarethe
usualalchemicalsymbolsoffireandwaterwhichlatterasalsothoseofAirandEartharederivedfromthefalling
and reflected triangle diagram on the Tree of Life. That is to say that the Hexagram as the Signet star of the
