Reguli seems to have descripts as follows: MENTU 6=5 N (Puer): Let him give the sign of Puer, standing with feet together, and head erect. Let is right hand (the thumb extended at right angles to the fingers) be raised, the forearm vertical at a right angle with the upper arm, which is horizontally extended in the line joining the shoulders. Let his left hand, the thumb extended forwards, and the fingers clenched, rest at the junction of the thighs (attitude of the Gods Mentu, Khem, etc.). Babe could be either of the below, according to Book Four,: BABE Babe of the Abyss (Puella): Let him make the sign called Puella, standing with his feet together, head bowed, his left hand shielding hte *muladhara cakra* [spine base], and his right hand shielding his breast (attitude of Venus de Medici). or BAPHOMET Babe of the Abyss X (Mulier): Let him give the sign of Mulier. The feet are widely separated, and the arms raised so as to suggest a crescent. The head is thrown back (attitude of Baphomet, Isis in Welcome, the Microcosm of Vitruvius). all from: -------------------------------------------------------- "Magick -- Book Four -- Liber ABA", Aleister Crowley, with Mary Desti [Sturges] and Leila Waddell, Samuel Weiser, 1994; pp. 574-5. ======================================================== corrections welcomed. for the interested, an online copy of the Two Fragments of Ritual may be found at: http://www.luckymojo.com/crowley/000tfritual.txt amongst other locales. > 93/93 E66 333
