The Lesser Pentagram Ritual always uses the >>> Pentagram of Earth, since it is dealing with influences on, or >>> bordering on, this plane. Once you get into using the Elemental >>> Pentagrams per se, you are in Greater Pentagram territory. Nope, not that simple. The Greater Pentagram Ritual uses different elemental pentagrams for different directions, as well as other names, etc.. The Lesser Pentagram Ritual can use any of the 24 pentagrams, but uses one of them for all four directions. N.B. Here's a link to the tracing directions of the 24 pentagrams available: http://www.cityol.com/heidrick/tlc1988/tlc0588.htm#fob Here's some additional discussion of the ritual: http://www.cityol.com/heidrick/tlc1987/tlc0887.htm#fob 93 93/93 Bill Heidrick heidrick@well.com
