If you are studying on your own, these suggestions can be very important to you, but if you have joined a teaching organization, you have been briefed on this subject. Symbolic items may not seem too important to some, but as you advance in Mysticism you will learn which items are more important to you, according to your interest and spiritual development. Symbolic items and a special room are important to place you in the proper frame of mind to leave the mundane world and enter a special area that will allow you to enter the esoteric realm, a place to study, perform rituals and meditate. This is your version of climbing to the mountain top or entering a cave for this purpose.
For those that do not have a special room available for this purpose, they can use the corner of any room and the symbolic items can be removed after each session. Make arrangements with other occupants of the house to give you privacy on such occasions. The use of such an area is very important to the study and practice of Mysticism. Once you get involved in Mysticism, you will understand why all this is important to you. Remember that you are about to embark to one of the most important events in your life. Mysticism will transform your life, you will never want to return to the old way again. The Sanctum makes your study of Mysticism much easier and rewarding. See the page on Ancient Elements to give you some more ideas for your sanctum, before you start setting one up, click here.
