Metatron's Cube
Archivist's Excerpt from: Alone in the Cold: The Story of Orphan Towne, its Strange History, & its Stranger Occupants, CVI 42.4
In the shadows of the abandoned № 138 Cavendish in Attistock hangs a paper with a particular design on it, a drawing of "Metatron's Cube," by Agnes Esker, what she called the "Balance of the Vaterland (Fatherland)." An esoteric symbol among students of sacred geometry and symbolic imagery, Metatron's Cube references the Biblical figure of Enoch in his more apocryphal outings of the text that shares his name.
In the story he is eventually transfigured into the angel Metatron, and the cube is a geometric representation of absolute perfection, being a six-sided hexagonal design that forms a three-dimensional cube in perspective at its center.
What precisely Agnes Esker meant by her fascination with the design is unknown, as it was never divilged by her to any known persons, nor within the pages of The Metarcanum: A Theory of Linguistic Constitution of Matter, Energy, & Form, which she wrote. It seems she took the meaning to her grave.
