When we are each standing at an apex of the pentagram, we extent our hands and the star lifts. Fumes rise from the hole beneath and we are transported elsewhere.<br/><br/>Later, we find ourselves standing at our places, shaking our heads to clear them of the last remaining stench of sulphur and hugging ourselves to restore our limbs against the cold. We reverse the rug and table and with goblets of dark, bitter weine, sit and contemplate what we have experienced.</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Arial Black;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">  “The enemy has arisen and is seeking form.
