Sounds good.  I don’t use tumblr much anymore, though - if you want to get in touch with me, find me on facebook (facebook.com/corychilds) and join my group there (The Language of the Gods, https://www.facebook.com/groups/429969947070716/)

Accordingly, let the atrium be viewed as a quadranglar shape, whose center is the earth and the eye.  Of the four corners let one be east, the one opposite west.  Of the two remaining corners diametrically opposite, let one wear the label of the north, the other of the south.  In the four spaces in between, that lie in the middle of the sides or walls, let east, west, north and south be indicated.
Thus you have eight distinct points and places first, each of which should determine for itself two collaterals [or secondary lines], that is, right and left, then east’s right and left, west’s right and left, and so on with the remaining spaces.  In the same way the east corner’s right and left, the west corner’s right and left, and so on with the remaining corners.

Universal horoscope of the Society of Jesus. Composite sundial in the form of an olive tree. When hung vertically, with pins placedat the nodes of the tree, this allows the time in each Jesuit province to be read. The base of the tree represents Rome. Additionally, the shadows of all the pins align to spell “IHS”, the logo of the Society of Jesus. From Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae, 1646, p. 553
