MAGIC MIRRORS.Dr. Papus on the Occult Science of Magic Mir­

rors and Magnetism.l U l d U T S D B Y D K . T . i . H K T IK K O .

The magic a in o n are the essential organs of con­densation for the Antral Light. One may also employ carbon, the crystal, glass, and certain metals for this purpose, and, if made according to directions, will he found very useful.

Without occupying ourselves here with the diverse operations and rituals necessary for the consecration of magic mirrors, we shall here treat of their material construction and the effects produced by this class of occult paraphernalia.

The most simple of these magic mirrors is a crystal glass filled with |mre water. The glass may be placed u|>on a white tablecloth with a light placed directly behind it.

With this simple arrangement very interesting re­sults have been attained. It was thus that desiring to convince a skeptic one day 1 arranged a glass as above and placed a young girl before it, with my right hand u|s>n her head. The child began at once to de. scribe scenes occurring at a distance, which were later verified and found to be exactly correct.

We have even ex|>erimented by this process, as ex­plained by C'agliostro; that is, to use ladies who are absolutely refractory to hypnotism; and we have also obtained positive results as curious as they were con­vincing.

In such cases it was necessary to make a rapid con­secration of tlie mirror and to call upon the name of Anael as described in the ritual. The results were highly satisfactory.

Yet there exists another class of mirrors, used by the Arabian magicians, which are also easy to con struct. It is only necessary to blacken with wax the Mngernail of a child sufficiently nervous, make tin- prescribed evocation, and burn the proper perfumes of the day and hour, to obtain most satisfactory results.

One may also blacken more'or less completely with charcoal a square of grained paper to obtain an ex­cellent mirror, susceptible to impress subjects some­what nervous.

Travelers through the Orient have described various kinds of magic mirrors in use there. We have person­ally made experiments with a mirror lirought from

India, It is a large, Amnd crystal, hung so as to re­flect the light. Heneath this crystal !>all is a small com|Kirtinent intended to receive the object or subject concerning which knowledge is desired.

Kxfieriments with ordinary hypnotic subjects have brought forth some very curious results with it.

We may make the general statement that all magic mirrors produce the unique effect of concentrating in one point a part of the Astral Light, and to bring the individualised life of any one into direct relation with the universal life, which is the conservator of all forms.

It is useless to imagine that all one requires is to ga/.e into a magic mirror as an after dinner diversion to at once call forth forms. Operations in magic, even the most simple, require great tension of spirit, a calm resolution, and, above all, a profound senti­ment or realisation of the difficulties attached to the enterprise.

It is thus by progressive training that one acquires the necessary vision to divine by the magic mirror. Therefore we will give some advice to the operator.

Suppose, then, the experiment is made with the nec­essary meditative calm here are tile obstacles to overcome; When one looks fixedly for some moments at the center of the mirror a peculiar itching of the eyes is felt, and one is often forced to close- the eye­lids for at least a moment. Much action destroys the previous effects. The closing of the eyelashes is due to Impulsive Iteing and is purely a re Ilex. One must also train the will, so a sitting of about twenty min­utes should In- made each day. When the character­istic itching of the eyes is felt the will should be brought to bear in holding the eyes open Hy prac­tice. this can In - readily attained.

When this first training of the eyes lias been accom­plished the mirror will take on a different color to that habitually seen. First, a reddish wave can be seen, then a bluish tint will appear. When these electrical waves ap|N-ar it shows the forms are about to come.

One must, however, observe all the details of |s-r fumes and consecrations. And to those desirous of knowing more on the subject we refer them to Un- work of ('a hag net, called "Magnetic Magic." which treats of magic mirrors ami their construction. This a r tic le is es|N -cially intended for instruction in regard to developm ent of th e gaze.

One will find that the same rules used for strength ening tin- gaze in experiments of fascination will also

LKAMI.Y HIHTOUV.

1 vva* a i Wit y*. a n a boy, fond of everything |iertain- ing to mysticism, astrology, witchcraft, and what ia commonly known a * -‘occult acience “ generally, and I devoured with avidity every book or tale that I could get hold of having reference to tlK-sc art*.

I rememlter, at the early age of fourteen, practicing meHmerisin on several o( my sclusdfellow*. particular! v t»u my cousin, a year younger than myself. Itut on this hoy (now a hard-headed solicitor) developing a decided talent for somnambulism, anti nearly killing himself iu one of his nocturnal rambles, my cx|«cri- ineltts in that direction w e re brought to an untimely close.

As a medical student, however, my interest in the effects of mind u|s»n matter once more awoke, ami my physiological studies and resea relies were accmn|>aiiied by )>sychological cx|»erimviits. 1 read 44 Kanoui ~ at this time with great a * t but, 1 am afraid, with very little umlerstamiiug. anti longed excessively to know its author, little dreaming that 1 slum Id one day be the pupil of the great magist. Itulwer Lytton the one man in modern times for w Imm all the systems of an­

. . I I .MY IX T K O IM V T IO X T O l O k l i I.Y T T O M .

It was in tlie winter of the publication of the weird ‘•Strange Htiwy ” (in which the Master attempted to teach tlie world many new anti im|s>rtant truths under tlie veil of fiction) that I made the acquaintance at I’aris of young Lytton, the son of (the then) Hir Ed ward. He was at that time. I suppose, about ten years my senior, anti thtnigh |tas*ionately attached to his lather, who was both father anti mother to him, did not share my intense admiration and enthusiasm for his mystic studies and his profound lore.

Anyhow, in the spring following, he presented me to his father as an earnest student of occultism. 1 was then about twenty-two years of age. and I sup- |M»*e Hir Edward was attracted to me |>artly by my ir­repressible hero-worship, of which he was the object, anti |iartly In-cause he saw that I )wsvsessed a cool, logical brain, bail iron nerve, anti, above all. was gen­uinely, terribly in earnest.

I W T I T iU U U M k1 rememlier that the lirst time on which he conde­

scended to teach me anything, lie seated me before an egg-sliaitetl crystal and asked me what I saw therein. For the first ten minutes I saw nothing and was some what discouraged, thinking that lie would blame me for my inability, but presently, to my astonishment anil delight, 1 very plainly descried moving figures of men anti animals. I described the scenes as they came into view and the events that were transpiring, when, to my intense satisfaction and. I am afraid, self- gloritication he said: 44 Why, you are a splendid fel­low! You are just what I want."

He then asked me if I would really like to seriously study Magism under his guidance. His words on this |H>int are as fresh in my memory as ever. He said. “ Remember, my boy, it will be very hard work, fa­tiguing to body ami brain. There is no royal road, nothing but years of study and privation. Hefore you can conquer the powers' you will have to achieve a complete victory over Self in fact, become nothing more nor less than an incarnate intellect. Whatever knowledge you may gain, whatever |towers you may acquire, can never be used ftw vour advancement in the world, or ftw your |>ersonal advantage in any way. Even if you obtain the {siwerof a king and the knowl­edge of a prophet, you may have to |>ass your life in obscurity anti poverty they will avail you nothing. Weigh well my words three nights from this I will call you.

*ki tlie third evening I never left my rooms after dinner, twit lit up my pi|s* and remained anxiously awaiting Sir Edward's arrival. Hour after I tour I tasked. I >ut no visitor, ami I determined to sit up all night, if need In*, feeling that he n«W come.

He >1*1: but not in the way 1 expected. I happened to look up from the hook which I was vainly attempt-

Wax I dream­ing. or did I actually see a filmy form, acarcely more than a shallow. ap|>arcntly seated there!1 I awaited developments ami watched. Second by second the film grew more dense until it became something like Kir Kdward. 1 knew then that it was all right, and sat still as the form got more and more distinct, until at last it was ap|>arently the Master himself sitting opfstsite to me alive and in pro|ier peraon. I in­stantly rose to shake hands with him, hut, as I got within touching distance, he vanished instantly. I knew then that it was only some variety of the Hein- l;eca that I had seen. It was my first experience of this, anil 1 stood there indoubt what to do. Just then bin voice whis|M-red close to my ear, so close that I even felt his warm breath, “ Come." I turned sharply round, but. of course, no one was there,

INITIATION.I instantly put on my hat and great coat to go to

his hotel, but when I got to the corner of the first street, down which 1 should turn to get there, his voice said. “ Straight on.” Of course. I obeyed ini plicitly. In a few minutes more. “ Cross over.” Ho guided, I came to where he was. Whirr matters not. but it was certainly one of the last places in which I should have expected to Ind him.

I entered; he was standing in the middle of the sa­cred |>entagon, which he had drawn u|Min the thsir with red chalk, and holding in his extended right arm the baguette, which was |s>inted towards me. Stand- ing thus, he asked me if I had duly considered the matter and had decided to enter U|sin the course. I replied that my mind was made up. He then and there administered to me the oaths of a neophyte of the Hermetic lodge of Alexandria the oaths of obe­dience ami secrecy. It is self evident that any further account of my experiences with latrd Lytton, or in Hermetic circles, is impossible.

Hut in my travels in the far Kast. and in Africa and elsewhere, I have met with many curious incidents connected with the Magists term, “ black magic," and also manifestations of |>sychic force and occult science as |iracticed by other sclwsds than that fo which I be­long. and I will recall a few of them for the Is-nefit of the readers of

IV.IN ITAI.Y— THK KVII. KYK.

Wlien engaged in tile Italian War of Inde|s-ndence in 1 still, I visited a place called I .a t'ava. a few miles from Salerno. While taking some food in a trattoria. I saw an excited crowd rush past the ihstr. following an old peasant woman, who was evidently flying for her life from as ugly-looking a lot of ruffians princi­pally lazzaroni—as the whole kingdom of tin- Two Sicilies could produce.

I bolted out into the street ami after the crowd, and being, after a few months' campaigning, in magnificent wind and condition, overtook the fellows. They were

shouting *• Mai’ occh’! ” and ” Mori’! ” (the Neapoli­tans never, by any chance, finishing a word) by which they meant “ The Kvll Kye. "and " Death to tier!”

I congratulated myself on living again in luck, as I had heard a great deal in Southern Italy of the “ mat’ occhio." but had never Is-en fortunate enough hitherto to come across one. So I easily outstrip|ietl the crowd, the old woman racing along like a greyhound. As I got within alsuit ten oradoxeu yards of her she caught her foot and fell. I then stop|ied, faced about to tile gang of pursuers, and, drawing my revolver, halted the lot in .ot instant.. Cowards to the backbone, none of them liV«t to lie the six men who would Infallibly “ lose the lUtmlierof their mess" from the rapid tire of that unerring liarrel, and they did nothing hut stand ami jabber, while the old woman set up In tile middle of the road, glaring at them. At last one of them, on the extreme flank, thinking that I did not see him. picked up a sharp stone and hurled it with all his force at the old woman. I turned sharply to see If it had hit her, meaning, in that case, to shoot the fellow, at all events, where he stood.

l ,AHAI.YXKt) BY A OI.ANCK.

The stone had missed its aim, and the old hug (for she looked like a veritable Mienad just then) had sprung to her feet and was standing,.pointing with a shaking forefinger at her assailant and staring straight in his face, her eyes verily seeming to shoot forth tire.

A yell of horror and rage broke from the crowd when the man fell to the ground as though smitten by lightning. Then a reaction set in and they all bolted back to La Cava at an even quicker rate than they came, shrieking out cries of dismay and terror, and leaving their comrade on tin- ground. I went up to him. He was not dead, as I at first thought, but he was helplessly, hopelessly paralysed it was a case of “ right hemiplegia.” I dragged him to the side of the road, out of the way of passing vehicles, and went up to the old woman.

I said, “ Well, mother, you've punished that scoun­drel properly!” She replied. “ All! signor. 1 could have killed him if I hail wanted, but I never take life now.'' I thought she was a cool old customer, but as I wanted some more Information. I offered to see her in safety to her home. She seemed over|siwered by gratitude and consented.

IS TIIK WITI'IIN fAVK.In a short time we arrived at one of the numerous

caves in the mountain side, where she said she lived. She added. “ All tin- province know where Matta. the witch of lai Cava, lives, but they dare not molest on here.” I went III and sat down and talked with lu-r She told me that she lived by telling the fortunes of thecmiutry girls and selling them charms and philtres to win tlie affections of their lovers, and I shrewdly sus|s-cted that she dabbled a little in | m m s o i i s , ami that, when a jealous husband Is-came tisi obnoxious, old Matta furnislied the means of Ills removal.

It i» the cu»tom for mi*»lonarie* and |ieople who have never teen them at work to ridicule the Idea of their |m»»e»*- ing the power* which they claim. But their power i» a very real one. and the argument that they only com­mence o|>eration* when they can tell that rain i» com­ing i* absurd on the face of it.

Ipir day. the hottest I ever saw in Africa or any­where el*e. I wa* taking my noonday *ie*ta when the thunderous tone* o f the big war drum filled the air. Like everyone else. I sprang to my feet and rushed to the king * kraal, wondering what new calamity wa* going to befall me. All the warrior* assembled, fully armed, in the *|>ace of a few minute*. *|>eculating what the summon* boded - war. human sacrifice*, or what!’ But their anxious looks were turned to joy and a deafening roar of jubilation went up when the king came out followed by two rain makers, who had arrived a few minutes before.

The longest day that I live I shall never forget that •(•ectacle. A ring of nearly three thousand naked and savage warriors, bedizened with all their finery of necklaces, bracelets, bangles and plumes of feather*, and armed with broad bladed. cruel looking spears and a variety of other weapons; the king seated, with his body guard and executioners behind him: in the middle, two men. calm, c «m>I and confident, and above all the awful sun. hanging like a globe of blazing cop­per in the cloudless sky. merciless and pitiless.

I can see tho«e two men now. as if It were but yes­terday—one an old man. a stunted but sturdy fellow with bow-legs; the other, about thirty, a magnificent s|>ecimen of humanity (if I remember rightly he was a Moosooi. six feet in height, straight as a dart, and with the torso of a Creek wrestler, but a most villain­ous face.

They began their incantations by walking round in a small circle, taking the exact distance* they required.

This action wa* followed by singing some wild, bar­baric chant, and ever and anon throwing up into the air a fine, light-colored powder, which they kept tak­ing from (touches slung at their side*. Thi* went on for about twenty minute* or more (the ciowd all thi* time standing motionless ami silent, like *o many im­age* carved in ebony > and wa* just beginning to grow insufferably tedious when the old man suddenly fell down in convulsions. I was within ten yards of him and watched him most carefully, and (speaking as a a medical mam, if ever I saw a genuine epileptic fit. I saw one then. A* he rolled on the ground in horrible contortions, foaming at the mouth like a mad dog. hi* comrade took not the slightest notice of him. but stood like a stone statue, (minting, with his outstretched arm. to a (mint in the zenith slightly to the westward (from whence the rain later came), his glaring eyeballs being turned in the same direction. All eye* were turned to follow bis gaze, but nothing was risible.

The rain-makers afterwards gave me an exhibition of their magical powers. I was set a t the apex of a triangle and they stood at the two other angles.

Then the old man began reciting in a loud voice, the other occasionally joining him at regular rhythmic in­tervals. Presently, as I looked, I saw the old roan gradually growing taller and taller until he was level with the six-foot Soosou. Then they both began to slowly shoot upwards till their heads touched the roof of the hut. about nine feet. Still keeping on the

July. 1902. STA It OF T1IF MAGI 7recitation, they decreased in height, m mite by minute, till a couple of mannikins, not more than two feet in height stood before me. Tltey iooknl very repulHive, but horribly grotesque. Then tliey gradually resumed their natural height, and. for the tirst and last time of my acquaintance with them, they both hurst out into a genuine, hearty unsophisticated jn-al of laughter.

HUBK, THE OBKKYAH WOMAN.

I remember meeting, more than thirty years ago, an Ohueyah woman some hundreds of miles up the Cam- eroons river (Africa), who had her residence in one of the caverns at the feet of the Cameroon* mountains. (In |>arenthesis, I may remark that I could not have existed there for one moment had I not been connected in some form or other with the slave trade. That by the way.) Judge for yourselves whether " S h e ” |of Kider Haggard's occult romance] was not “ evolved ” from Mulie, the well known Obeeyah woman of the Oameroons, or from one of a similar type. Kube stooil close on six foot, and was sup|H>sed by the natives to he many hundred years old. Krect as a dart and with a stately walk, she psf looked to lie two thousand years old. Her wrinkled, mummyifed, gorilla-like face, full of all iniquity, hate and uncleanliness, moral and physical, might have existed since the Creation, while tier superb form and full limits might have been those of a woman of twenty four. "Pride in her |iort and ; demon in her eye " were her chief characteristics, while her dress was very simple, consisting of a head­dress made of sharks' teeth, brass bosses and tails of some species of lynx. Across her bare bosom was a wide scarf or baldric, made of scarlet cloth, on which were fastened four rows of what appeared like large Koman jiearls, of the size of a large walnut. These apfiarent pearls, however, were actually human intes­tines. bleached to a |iearly whiteness, inflated, ami constricted at short intervals so as to make a series of little bladders. On the top of her head ap|>eared the head of a large s]lotted serpent presumably some kind of a boa constrictor the curled skin of which hung down her back nearly to the ground. Hound her neck she wore a solid brass quoit of some four |Miunda weight, too small to |iass over her head, but which had no |ierceptible joint or place of union. Heavy bangles on wrists and ankles reminded one somewhat of the Hindu women, but hers were heavier and were evidently formed from the thick brass rials used in “ the coast trade,” and hammered together in nilu. Her skirt was simply a fringe of fiendant tails of some animal presumably the mountain lynx intermingled with goats’ tails.

In her hand she carried what seemed to Is* the chief instrument of her power and what we in Europe would call a “ magic wand.” Hut this was no wand, it was simply a hollow tube about four inches long, closed at one end and ap|iearing to be made of a highly glitter­ing kind of ivory. Closer inspection, however, showed that it was some kind of reed, about an inch in diame­ter, and incrunted with human molar teeth, in a splen­did state of preservation, and set with the crown out­

wards. When not Imrne in the right hand this instru­ment was carried in a side pouch or case, leaving the open end out.

Strange to say this mystery I never could fathom— there was always a faint blue smoke proceeding from the mouth of this tube, like the smoke of a cigarette, though it was perfectly cold and apparently empty.

MO.MK OK IIKU WONIIKItH.

I shall never forget the day on which I asked her to give me a specimen of her powers. I quietly set­tled down to enjoy the |ierformnnce without expecting to be astonished, but only amused. I nun astonished, though, to find this six feet of humanity, weighing at least eleven stones, standing on my outstretched hand when I opened my eyes (previously closed by her com­mand), and w hen I could not feel the slightest weight thereon.

1 was still more astonished when, still standing on my outstretched palm, she told me to shut my eyes again and reojten them instantaneously, I did so and she was gone. Hut that was not all. While I looked round for her a stone fell near me and lisiking upwards I saw her calmly standing on the top of a cliff nearly live hundred feet in height. I naturally thought it was a “ double," that is, another woman dressed like her, and said so to the by-standing natives, who shouted something in the Kpllic language to her.

Without much ado, she waved—not jum|ied over the side of the cliff, and, with a gentle motion, as though sus|iended by Mr. Haldwin's parachute, gradu­ally dropfied downwards until she alighted at my feet. My idea always was that tills tills-of hers was charged with some to us unknown lluid or gas, which con­trolled the forces of nature; she seemed to be power­less without it.

Further, not one of her ' ‘miracles" was, strictly s|s-aking, non natural. That is, she seemed able to control natural forces in most astounding ways, even to Aus|>end ami overcome them, as in the previous in­stance of the suspension of the laws of gravitation but in no case could she rlolnlr them. For instance, although she could take an arm, lopped off by a blow of her cutlass, and holding it to the stump, pretend to mutter some gibberish while she carefully |iassed tier reed round the place of union (in a second of time a complete union was effected without a trace of previ­ous injury), yet. when I challenged her to make an arm sprout from the stump of our quartermaster, who had lost his left forearm in action some years before, she was unable to do so. and candidly declared her in­ability. She said. “ It is dead; I have no |s»wer,“— and over nothing dead had she any |s>wer. After see ing her changing toads into tic|sdongas (the most deadly ser|s-nt on the coast) I told her to change a stone into a trade dollar. Hut no. the answer was the same, “ It was dead.”

Her |spwer over life was striking, instantaneous, terrible; the incident in ** Hhe " of tile three blanched finger-marks on tile hair of the girl who loved i'alli- krates. and the manner of her death, would have been

J u ly . IH02 STAR OF THK MA(il ! •OBJECTIONS TO THE ASTRAL NUMBER. *

Last July ami August 1 gave an ex|M»>itinn of tin- opening step* of a retrosjiective analysis of a person'a Antral Numlier, but tin* editor of t 'ominy K im l* was not satisfied with thin although I accomplished all I hud proponed'. He failed to nee that the Numlier wan pos- nenned of any •* occult significance " and could not un- derntand why I insisted in •* dragging in the planets ” in connection with their astral numbers. He called for further light on the numlier to sup|s»scdly settle these |M>ints in spite of my inability to reproduce the Astral Number book* in the columns of the Ntak and called for an investigation. He make a frank avowal of hin non acquaintance with Heliocentric Astrology; he “ sup|Mtned " canes wherein he thought the Number might fall; he attempted to show that the Century Ordinate work of the Numlier's analysis was nothing more than a cane of subtraction; he brought in the at tack of another on heliocentric antronomy I wherein it was really claimed that a heliocentric xmliac did not exist), and summed up our exisisition as follows:

•* What he has shewn is this—that if the ‘ tinal d ig it' of the quotient of the year of birth of the century, either by itself or mingled in the complex Astral Num­ber. be applied to the remainder after division by D, a certain number is formed from which the year of birth can again be obtained."

Head this paragraph over again not once, merely, but several times- and you will see that it proves the ‘•iiccult significance " of the work of analysis of the Astral Number, ff the work of analysis is occult, as I claim the above quoted paragraph self-evidently shows, is it not evidence that the Number in “ occult " as well? Mr. Hugh makes light of our method of em­ploying the Century Orilinate, as it is simply a ques­tion of svibtracting IfifiMSU*, before dividing by I), etc. There can be nothing occult about this, he thinks. In­deed! I picture to myself some mystic mathematician trying it in the year MBS with no true result and then, having found that Mr. Hugh obtained his number of ltMiKi4H from tile Ordinate of the nineteenth century and the use we have made of it, carefully setting him­self to And, not a number to be subtracted but one to be m hhil, namely I hr im rtiralar am! indirhliuil ttnllnatr o f hi* tarn rrutury. To ntond on rijij on il* rm l it I* not rnouyh to knote tour yon in nut jlr*l horr th r »-</»/.

Perhaps, as there is nothing occult, according to Mr. Hugh, about our work thus far with tin- Astral Num­ber, he will be able ami kind enough to furnish us with the necessary metlMsi of finding the months of birth of A, B. C. anti all uthrr* horn in thr font rralary, from their “ Mean Astral Power Before Birth," at which |s»int our analysis ended. Let him show us, by the known laws of mathematics of the school! Imw I could have (per­formed my delineation of A and It (C's number being incorrectly cast) in this res|s-ct trilliont the use of the Time Kook. He ought to be able to do this wit bout fail if the Number is devoid of any occult projs-rty or method or significance. Not to slight any skeptic or opponent or mathematician. / r j i r m l thr inritation to all nmrrrnetl. llrrr i* mimrtkinij th ra ll, ytnttrm rn, nottr it by your mat h r mat it* i) yon ran.

I am accused by Mr. Hugh of "dragging in thr inimr* of the planets." If he means that I insist on using a set of numln-rs as mathematical equivalents of the several “ astral powers " of the seven planets then In­is correct, but his language is quite crude, for tin- word “ dragging," Webster tells us, menus '• to draw or pull along by main force, slowly or laboriously, on the ground." While the word is not appropriate It is an index to the spirit with which our exposition was judged by Mr. Hugh in his criticism. It Is in this same undignified spirit that In- says:

“ lift us age him i •• A " | a few years and kill off hi‘ mother or m n trn r l Iris fallu-r, or lutlul his complexion, and then subtract the new working number from this new Astral Number. The result is still HUiNilJS. Con­sequently the first process in sr/MOWIng thr port* is to subtract 1IMWSI4*."

We had already said that we diil not "separate tin- parts " iti analyzing a person's Astral Number, but he here reiterates that we do. To join several numlier* together forming a number of eight visible digits from which ItMiMII-te subtracted leaves a number of seven vis­ible digits would be a queer way to separate the first number into its original parts! Yet Mr. Hugh persists in saying that I perform this mathematical miracle, and then, curiously enough, gravely tells us that there is nothing "occult " about it.

Again I repeat that I can find the constituent parts of a person's Astral Number, but not until I have de­termined the age, sex, complexion und life conditions. Hut Mr. Hugh insists on misrepresenting the method of the Number's analysis. Very well; perforin this unoccult miracle for us. Mr. Hugh.

He further says, •• the mysterious book |theTlme- Kook| gives the Y-Koots for ISO years!" Does it, In­deed! The •-mysterious " Kook of Time gives the lie liocentric positions of the planets on the first day of January for I’ni years |soo lll.'ij; it gives the Y ICoot of 1*00 up to '*)», when the year and page coincide for the balance of the hook, the rules of the Astral Num­ber applying up to the year IIS*), when a new Time- Iksik is required. The last 58 horosco|H-s are not used in connection with the Number.

Mr. Hugh,explaining why lie regards the geocentric system of astrology as being “ immeasurably sU|ierlor" to the heliocentric system, says: "Candidly, I havenever studied the heliocentric system," . . 11 beside*, I was liorn on tin- K.irtli and not on the Hun.” This last remark is one commonly made by many astrolo­gers who have -never studied tile heliocentric sys­tem " of astrology. There is some excuse for this in that heliocentric astrology is deficient at present of a single reliable and thorough text Issik on the subject. Tlie lsN»k* of any account are invariably hand made.

•* I was born on the Kart It and not on the Kun," means, plainly (by inference), two things; That the geocentric system applies entirely to the Kartli and to tlie m tirr Kartli. for if it dis-s not apply to tile whole Kartli it is but a part of true Astrology, Hecond, that a Hun-centered system of astrology cannot apply to tlie Kartli or any part of it. I shall combat this idea in the August Hrau. Wii.i.im K Wuitkiikad.

And to d a y for the studen t of sclrntlffc psychology th r Idea o f pre-ex istrw er passes out of th e realm of theory in to th e realm of fa c t.”

The la te ITofrssor Huxley w rote of th r theory o f re incarnation :

“ Nolle Imt hasty th in k ers will re jec t it on th r ground of inheren t absurdity . I.ike th e doctrine of evolution itse lf, th a t of tran sm ig ra tio n I re in carn a tio n has its routs In th e world of rea lity , and it may claim such support as th e g re a t a rgum ent from analogy is capab le of supplying.”

This th ru ry . as explained by th e teach ­ings of theosophy, implies a g radual d if­fe re n tia tio n from a condition of homoge­neity to th a t of he terogeneity th e word " h e terogeneity ” Implying life e n t e r * showing fo rth more o r less Individuality.

H trictly speaking, tk e word “ re in carn a­t io n ” app lies to th e evolutionary life processes only a f te r th r b u n a * s ta g e has hern reached. T his theory I* hoary with age . Emm tim e im m em orial th e Hindu sages have ta u g h t th a t variation* in man­ife sta tio n were caused by th e la te n t po ten­t ia lit ie s try in g to become ac tiv e powers:

"T h e se in te rn a l efforts being modified by e x te rn a l environm ent. These ideas a re * new ' only in th e sense of b ring so old th a t they have been fo rgo tten .

“ Any theory which *how**uch perennial life must have in it some elem ent of t ru th and he worthy our serious consideration . Hume says th is |rv in c a ra a tiu n | is * th e only theory of im m orta lity th a t philosophy can h earken to . ' “

If th e soul I* im m ortal th en it m ust h r ingenera Me. And to ac c e p t th e idea of im m ortality and re jec t th e idea of pre- ex istence is about as logical a s to declare th a t a stick has hu t one end. A gain, th is theory cannot h r dismissed with th e sneer. “ I* is only an ohl h ea th en id ea!"

It is no more " h e a th e n » th a n it is “ C h ris tian .” T rue , it d i t s n o t belong in th e teach in g s of modern ch u rch ian ity . hut i t did belong to th e teach in g s of ea rly C h ris tian ity .

Even a superficial knowledge of th e e a rly chu rch h isto ry will show th is. T h r

Thus th e C hris tian d o c tr in e o f th e pre- ex istence o f th e soul received It* death blow in th r w e*tern world.
