d. Perform the Middle Pillar Exercise (Appendix III).
e. Visualize your route as if you were actually taking it, building up the pictures as strongly as

thoroughfare and make your way to the Central Temple. (16)
f. Enter the Central Temple and 'enflame yourself with prayer'.
g. Return by the same route with as much attention to detail as you used when coming to the City.
h. Take notes, immediately and in detail, in your Magical Diary.
An example of an archetypal path working which could be used as it stands, or adapted to your own
needs, follows.
Description of the route
You are approaching a walled city - around you is a barren, desolate landscape, and the walls tower
above, bleak, grey and forbidding. They give the impression they have been standing there since the
beginning of time.
Immediately in front of you are the double gates of a city behind the walls. They are huge, and right
above them is stationed a sentry, helmeted and armed with a single spear.
The path you are standing on stretches back behind you, and you know, as you stand before the gates
that you have travelled that path a long way to bring you to this point.
Suddenly, the gates swing slowly open, and you pass between them. Immediately you are aware that
the cold grey atmosphere has given way, here, to bright sunshine. The roads of the city are broad and
clean and lined with trees, and the houses are high and give a faintly Mediaeval impression.
