In the “EIghth Book of Moses” the practitioner has to create a tent with the depictions of 365 deities for the initiation. The insteruction reads:
“Clothe yourself in pure linens,
crowned with an olive wreath,
and make the cover like this:
Take pure linen and write
on the edge the 365 gods
and form it like a tent.
Under this you go for the initiation.”
From the “Eighth Book of Moses” (PGM XIII, 97-99)
