One point which emerges from (or is re-inforced by) the Sistine Chapel Ceiling* and from the Vices and Virtues** is the existence of more outward versions of the Outer Circle*** than the single Outer Circle upon which I tend to concentrate. It is not**** necessarily the case that this central Outer Circle – presumably the only one from which one may return to the Inner Circle – is marked by the 7 Vices – the 7 Virtues may# appear on either Circle, and one would expect them to become stronger#* as the Return approaches (i.e. Temperance in place of Lust#**). This also suggests the spiral inwards through the Outer Circles (cf. The Number Cards) to the final#*** Outer Circle. For all I know there may be a reverse spiral inwards from the first Inner Circle's completion, at least in some manifestations.#****

#**But consider the old fairy tale or theme of the dissolute man lusting after the young girl who transforms him through her (and then his) Love.... {[But] See [[Redbook4:13-14][19870707:1000]{Virtues and Vices (2)}[7^th July 1987],]p.13 – different pattern [replacing the one to which this footnote refers].}
