Grace :
A grace is a magic symbol representing all of existence.
A grace consists of a small circle, inside a square, with one apex of the circle touching the middle of one side of the square.
Each of the square's four points touch a point on the larger circle, which the square is inside.
Inside the smaller circle is an eight pointed star. Lines radiating from the star's points pierce all the way through both circles, and the square, with each line bisecting a corner of the square.
A grace is always drawn starting with the outer circle, for the outer circle represents the begniing of the underworld, beyond which is nothing. Starting here symbolizes creation: beginning with nothing.
Next is drawn the square, representing the veil, the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead.
After the square comes the smaller, inner circle. The inside of this circle represents the world of the living.
Drawn last is the eight-pointed star, which represents the light of the Creator. The lines radiating out through the rest of the Grace represent the light of the Creator, which transcends all boundaries.
An inverted Grace, which bends the separation inside the world of life and outside of the spirit world, was part of the spell which created the Boundary.
