The Tomb of CRC - The Symbolism of the Seven Sides:
"The Tomb of CRC The Symbolism of the Seven Sides by Jack Courtis The Tomb of CRC is described in the Fama Fraternitatis as a seven-sided vault. On each of its seven walls, there are inscribed 10 symbols or figures. They are neither described nor explained in the Fama. In the late 19th Century, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn created the symbolism of the seven sides based on 40 per wall and not 10. Dr Wynn Westcott, one of the founders of the Order, gave an explanation part of which is quoted below from Israel Regardie's book, The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic. The symbols are also from his book."
