Yours of 8th mail re Symbol is very refreshing.

     

I cannot say that is gave me such an impression of evil. I am of course not in the same position to judge.

     

Looked at from that point of view, the fact that it distorts the symbols of both God and Man may have a good deal to do with the impression. I of course realized this [illegible] but thought that the somewhat massive combination might offset this, also I have seen the symbol a Pentagram in the Equinox—the sides of which are not of equal length, and concluded it was permissible in some instances. The point re direction of lines is a probably more serious defect, which I failed to recognise that you pointed it out.

     

The end form of Hexagram you draw has this point of interest that it is a sort of monogram of the letters N.O.X.

 

N O X

 

I see however by your letter that one must not be led any by [illegible].
