The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Flying Roll No. VIII A
Geometric Way to Draw a Pentagram Let AB be any line of the
length required for the distance between the points of Earth and
Fire. Bisect AB in 0 and from 0 draw OH perpendicular to AB. Cut
off OC to equal AB. Join B with C and produce the line BC to F
making FC to equal OA. From centre B, with radius BF, draw the
circle FDK, cutting OH at D. D is then the 'Spirit' angle of the
Pentagram. With the centres B and D draw circles with a radius
equal to AB, and they cut each other at E which will be the
Water angle. In a similar way [i.e. by drawing a circle of
radius AB from centre A] find G the Air angle. Join A, B, D, E,
and G in the usual way.
