The Ten Rayed Star
The Ten Rayed Star is a Pentacle and a very pure representation of Evolutionary Dualism. It is the two traditional Pentagrams interlaced and has it's own planetary and elemental attributions(22). Starting with the uppermost point, the planets are represented at each point thusly moving deosil: Sun, Saturn, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, Moon Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Pluto.
The Ten Rayed Star is also an arcane order. Each point represents a separate component order. The specific purpose of each is shown in the chart bellow. Only complete attainment of eleven degrees in each of the component orders constitutes one degree of attainment in the Ten Rayed Star. Appropriate modifications should be made here to suit the mythological heritage of the practitioner: pantheon, component order, and grade names.
The TRS is open to all 8th Degree initiates of the Order of Yggdrasill. Entry is by self initiation or within autonomous local groups. There is no fee. Before undertaking TRS activity the aspirant should write and retain an essay about past activities and future objectives in this entire context. New insights should be appended at intervals. Attainment here takes a great deal of time and is not for the impatient(23).
The component orders OM, CW, OS, and OR are merely systems for reckoning various types of personal growth. Although they have been in use for many years and technically have membership, they are not useful for group activity. Eric Fenris Magnuson

Carry over from previous lifetimes leading to the Quest |
22. See Scroll E in "A New Look at Traditional Arcane Teachings" by Eric F. Magnuson.
23. The author for example, has no expectation of full attainment here within his current lifetime.
24. Not to be confused with other orders of the same name.
25. For women this can be Coven of the Warlocks. Can be an after-the-fact or forward looking hypothetical harem of the heart. It can also be rewarding here to systematize other basic pleasures.
