Triplicity of an Earth Trigram
-
In Liber 777, it states that the Geomancy of the Element of Earth are things of Earthy(Inverse Triangle with line through it, apostrophy y), triplicity.
The firs thing I thought of was that since it was sacred Geometry/Geomancy, I might as well start with the inverse and divided Earth Trigram/Triangle.
I took what I thought was the exact geomancy of an Earth Triangle, which to my mind was an inverse triangle with a line from the mid-way point of the left line connected to the mid-way point of the right line -- NOT the "midde" of the triangle at all, but from the measured middle of the left and right lines.
I took it into Triplicity and this is what I came up with:
http://home.comcast.net/~saintstephen/Magick/earth.jpgYou can see the original Earth triangle big in the middle, with it's points touching the circle where the Earth signs are located.
I did this in 2009. I literally stayed up all night in some weird trance and at the end of the night I had this piece of cardboard with this design. I forgot exactly how I took it to "triplicity", but it was very intricate and well patterned/thought out.
My question to experienced Mages, Adepts and Masters is: Where exactly is the line drawn in an Earth triangle? I studied many images of them before I set to work on this, and it seems to not be in the exact middle of the triangle from top to bottom, but more in the exact measured middle of the right and left lines, as in the image.
I used the correct scales of color, as you can see, and I have used this successfully as a Pantacle during Magick, specifically invoking Earth with Pentagram and Hexagram rituals.
It's very strange... after "tripling" everything from that one original Earth triangle, I ended up with three Earth Hexagrams, completely by accident, no joke.
While you all look at this I will try to remember how I started to triple an earth triangle, and get back to this post. I'm sorry, but I was in a mad, musing way that night doing things in a way I don't do them anymore, and the memory was not recorded as it should have been. (I have changed a LOT in the past 3 years.)
Any comments or help would be appreciated, Fraters and Sorors.

Looking at it now, I remember the first thing I did was connect the points of the middle line of the triangle to the mid-way point of the top line, triplicity seems to just have taken hold after that. I tripled everything that was not tripled yet, and when done, I ended up with the three earth hexagrams, and the only points touching a possible circle were the ones from the original triangle. I then decided the other triplicity of Earth was it's signs.

Are there no comments because:
a) I'm very off on something obvious I didn't catch that you all want me to catch on my own.
or
b) The 15 some people that actually read this haven't responded yet because it threw them off that a beginner came up with it and is researching sacred geometry and correspondences to see how correct this actually is.
or
c) It's really not that important. It's just a pantacle that I use in Magick that happens to contain 3 Earth Hexagrams that line up perfectly with the triplicity of an Earth Triangle, and these things are known by the more learned and many of you have gone much further than me in things of this nature.
I was waiting for someone to shoot down my pantacle and say there's something wrong with it, so I can re-assume studies in Sacred Geometry. Juuust under half hoping for it.
I was also hoping for someone to say "Yes, that is correct. You have an Earth Triangle in the circle, and by tripling it you will always end up with 3 Earth Hexagrams in such a way that Hexagrams by their geometry really don't have an up or down, so tripling an inverse Earth Triangle would obviously create 3 Earth Hexagrams by the way the middle line is tripled and by the exact way the Hexagrams line up in triplicity."

we can't actually see it, try uploading the picture with smaller resolution, or use some online storage for media and link it here

The illustration is so large, I can't see more than a sliver of it on my largest monitor - so I ignored it.
You really should edit things down before inserting them. Consider the viewer. I almost deleted the post because the attachment is such a large file and permanently eats up server room.

It also sounded like doodling to me, and of no real significance - but I would have looed at it if it had been reasonably viewable.

It looked a lot smaller in my picture viewer, and when I uploaded it, it was HUGE.
I apologize. I shall edit and shrinken.

Again, sorry about that.
Photoshopped it down to 1/4 size.
Hopefully it won't be on the server anymore.
Can everyone see?

I can even see it on my 7" tablet.(Nice design btw.)
To answer your question, the horizontal talk bar should be exactly where it falls in a hexagram.

I see, I see. Thank you Jim.
It seems I was a bit off with what I was "trying" to do, but after reading your post I see where my HGA was leading me:
It is a large Water triangle with a smaller, (1/2 size exactly I believe,) Fire triangle inside it. It is like looking at the fire triangle at a distance from a water triangle inside a circle. The two together make the Earth Hexagram.
If you look into this in different dimensions, (most notably 3 from different facets and angles,) you can see how the Earth Hexagrams are formed from the water triangle and the smaller fire triangle.
The triplicity of the "geomancy" of a circle divided in 3 ways by 3 earth hexagrams representing the 3 signs of Earth is formed by a water triangle and a fire triangle. It is VERY hard to explain what I am seeing but if anyone wishes me to go further I shall.
Thank you so much, Jim.
Much , much obliged.
