OMEN OF THE OWL

The owl lives in the dark and dirty places and its sharp and fearful hooting is termed inauspicious throughout the world. In Britain its rough and dreadful voice is considered unlucky. In South Africa it indicates death. In Canada three days of regular hooting of an owl foretells death of a family member. In China the hooting of an owl denot...es death of a neighbor. In Greece and Rome its hoot is taken to bring misfortune. In New Zealand its hoot during consultation is considered bad but it is termed auspicious for war consultations. It is considered as a sign of success and prosperity when an owl flies overhead. In Turkey the white owl’s hoot is considered auspicious whereas those of other owls are considered a bad omen.

1. If an owl sits on a house top or on the head of a man it indicates destruction.

2. Seeing an owl on the left side is considered a good omen.

3. The hoot of an owl heard on the right side is good. To see an owl behind a traveler is a good omen.

4. If a man sees two owls mating, his life will be shortened.

5. The claws of an owl are very auspicious for gain of money, if they are kept in the house or in a cash box.

6. The owl’s bones are used for causing a rift between two persons.


Note: For record purposes only.

OMEN OF THE BLACK CAT

A “black cat is regarded as unlucky”. Superstitions of the black cat are still widespread. The actions of a black cat at various times and occasions have significant meanings.

The omens do not apply to domesticated cats.

It is believed that black cats are witches disguise according to a medieval book titled BEWARE OF THE CAT (1584). The book says that killing the cat does not necessarily mean killing the witch, for a witch like the cat has nine lives.

Not only in Philippines and India but also in other countries of the world, the cat is regarded as unlucky. For instance in Anatolia, it is believed that the greatest misfortune will befall a dead person if a cat jumps or over upon his coffin, the body will not decompose and the deceased person will not go to heaven. According to Cornelius Agrippa, in Salvonia, women believe that they can compel a man to fall in love with them if they can persuade him to eat the beast of a black cat killed on New Moon night. Sir J.G. Frazes cites many instances of the costums in Continental Europe, one of which is burning a sackful of cats during Easter, or mid-summer.

1. If a cat cuts across in front of a man while he is leaving for work, it indicates hindrances or fruitless results in his work.

2. If a cat mews without having a piece of food in its mouth when a man sets out on a journey, it is inauspicious.

3. A cat crossing the road from any side during the course of a journey is inauspicious.

4. When a person, proceeding on a journey, sees a cat on the left side of the road, it is auspicious.

5. When a cat, having a piece of food in its mouth, mews at the time of commencement of journey, it is auspicious.

6. A cat falling on a sleeping person is inauspicious and indicates his death or some disease.

7. If a cat sniffs the feet, it is bad.

KAPANGYARIHAN SA TITIG

Pagbibigay kapangyarihan sa titig ng mga mata upang mapigil ang masamang tangka ng kapwa:

Narito ang isang mabisang paraan upang magkaroon ka ng "power" upang mawala ang masamang tangka ng kapwa. Kaya maliligtas ka sa mga kapahamakang lilikhain ng ibang tao. Maraming tao ang nagsisikap na mag-aral ng ibat-ibang palakasan tulad ng boxing, Judo, Karate at pagbaril at marami pang iba upang mapagtanggol nila ang kanilang sarili at ang mahihina sa oras ng kagipitan o pangangailangan subalit ang lahat ding ito ay nangangailangan ng tinatawag na self-defense sa sarili. Kaya't wala ring katiyakan ang iyong kaligtasan. Subalit magagamit mo pa ba ang iyong napag-aralan kung naunahan ka na ng iyong kalaban?

Dahil dito ay higit na mabuti ang kaunti ang nalalaman sa palakasan ay nabubuhay naman nang tahimik at ligtas sa kasamaan ng kanyang kapwa.

Ang pamamaraan: Lagyan ng itim na tinta na parang nunal at kasinlaki ng palito ng posporo ang puno ng ilong o pagitan ng mga mata. Maupo sa isang silya na nakaharap sa salamin na may kalahating metro ang layo. Gawin ito sa isang silid na tahimik at walang nakakamalay. Titigan ang nunal sa puno ng iyong ilong na walang kurap o kisap at banggitin ang pangungusap na ito:

"Ang kapangyarihan ng aking isipan at kalooban ay nalabas.Walang sinumang magtatangka sa akin ng masama at kagigiliwan ako ng sinomang tao na aking lalapitan."

Ulit-ulitin ito habang tinititigan mo ang iyong nunal sa puno ng ilong. Gawin ang pagtitig sa loob ng limang minuto (5 min.) sa unang linggo, sa ikalawa sampung minuto (10 min.) sa ika-apat ay dalawampung minuto (20 min.).

Kung magagawa mo ito ng mahusay at walang patlang sa loob ng apat na linggo ay magkakaroon ng power na mahalina ang sinomang taong iyong lalapitan at walang makakatitig sa iyo ng matagal.

Jack The Ripper (Case solved by Robert James Lees)

Solving a murder case is not an easy job. A long series of investigations, inquiries, hunt for clues, interrogations; a patient plodding detective work goes into solving a murder mystery. A slip-up on the part of the murderer, an anonymous phone call either from a nosy neighbor or someone from the gang betraying his party may make the job easier. Then, there are policeman's illogical hunch just like a dog's sensing power or an investigator's unexplained instinct. But when all else has failed, the case is too weak and the file is marked 'unsolved'. Is there still one last hope?The Psychic Detectives! Is it possible for supernatural sleuths, psychic detectives to see beyond where no one else can look? Can they succeed in giving those vital clues which are required for solving the case, with the help of their spiritual powers?

He killed 17 girls before he could be identified and caught. No one had ever seen him. The Scotland Yard Police had no clues to identify, let alone book him. A very expert murderer, Jack the Ripper, never left any clues behind at the place of crime. The fearful women residents of East end of London as well as the businessmen of the city area had put up a petition against these horrific unsolved murders to Queen Victoria. The Queen notified the White chapel police ordered them to work with their full might in solving this most puzzling murder mystery of 1890s.

Robert James Lees was a celebrated spiritualist. He was under the wings of the Royal family. Robert Lees had developed psychic powers during childhood and from tender age of thirteen he had been spiritual consultant to Queen Victoria. His outstanding psychic powers made him the Queen's favorite. Apart from the royal contacts, Lees had a good reputation among the general public. So when Lees approached the Police Investigative Cell in connection with the jack the Ripper murders, they could not just ignore him. His claim of having a psychic vision of one of the murders being committed, was treated with consideration and referred to senior officials. Lees described the vision in full harrowing detail. He saw a court with gin palace nearby. He could see the name of the court clearly. He could even see the time in the clock on the wall of the gin palace - it showed 12:40 a.m. He further saw a man a woman entering the court. The man was sober but the woman was dead drunk. In her drunken state, she leaned against the wall for support. It was a dark, secluded corner. The man quickly closed her mouth with one hand. With the other hand he drew a knife and slit her throat. She fell on the ground. The man repeatedly stabbed her. Then coolly wiping the blade on her dress, he walked off.

The following night, Ripper killed a prostitute in the same manner at the same time and in same court, as foretold by Lees.

The news of this murder greatly disturbed Lees. Shaken by the horrific vision and subsequently its turning into reality or lived too much for Less. He was so shaken up by the experience that he went away to France for a brief holiday. It was only a few weeks later, when he nerves calmed down, he returned to England. During this period, Ripper murdered four women, but Lees remained untroubled by vision during his stay in France.

Once back in London, Lees had another vision of the Ripper murders. He saw that one of the Ripper's victim had her ears cut off. He also noted the peculiarity of the mutilations: "One ear was completely severed, the other was left clinging by a mere strand of flesh".

This time Scotland Yard had to take him seriously. As a matter of fact, they had already received a warning letter from the Ripper. It was written in red ink adorned with two bloody finger frints. It read:

"Tomorrow night I shall again take my revenge, claiming from a class of women who have made themselves most obnoxious to me - my ninth victim.

Jack the Ripper

PS: To prove that I am really Jack the Ripper, I will cut off the ears of the victim".

The contents of the letter were kept highly secret and there no was chance of Lees ever knowing about it.

Shortly, they discovered the body of the Ripper's ninth victim, whose ears were cut in the same manner as seen by Lees in his vision.

After a few days, Lees again contacted the police and told them about another vision. This was the murder of Mary Kelly, the 17th victim of Jack the Ripper.

On that fateful night, Lees was dining at a restaurant in Piccadilly with two Americans. Halfway through the meal. Lees cried out, "Great God! Jack the Ripper has committed another murder." They checked the time - it was 7:49 p.m. All three of them rush to Scotland Yard.

The police there had no inkling of any such happening. Nevertheless, they recorded Lees 'statement'. When Lees in the middle of his dictation, a telegram arrived stating that a body had been found in Crown Court. It was discovered at 8:10 p.m. They all drove to Crown Court. On reaching the spot, Lees pointed towards a dark corner and said, "Look at the wall. There is something written there".

The inspector ran forward. Chalked on the wall was:

"Seventeen, Jack the Ripper".

The inspector needed no more convincing.

It was at this point that he decided to carry out an experiment and make use of Lees' marvelous though incomprehensible psychic powers.

The plan was to use Lees as a 'psychic bloodhound' pick up the trail of the murderer. Though it sounds strange, comparing dog's sense powers to man's psychic abilities is just not fair. Nevertheless, Lees agreed to it. From the scene of crime, Lees set off through the London streets.

All that night Lees allowed strange magnetic influence to guide him. At 4 a.m. he landed at 74, Brook Street in Mayfair. when Lees pointed towards the elegant mansion, the police party stood stunned. For 74, Brook Street belonged to Sir William Gull, personal physician to Queen Victoria and her son, the Prince of Wales. Dr. Gull had been the apple her eye since he saved the life of the Prince of Wales 16 years ago by successfully treating him for typhoid. Gull was now 70 years old. He was partially paralyzed from a stroke.

Seeing the policemen hesitating, Lees repeated, "There is your murderer - the man you are looking for"

The dismayed policemen were now curious at the confident declaration of Lees. Still, considering the delicacy of the situation they decided to wait until daylight. In the meantime, just to get a further confirmation of Lees' psychic powers, the Inspector asked him to describe the interior of Dr. Gull's hall.

Without hesitation, Lees said, "The hall has a high porter's chair of black oak on the right hand as you enter it, a stained glass window at the extreme end, and a large mastiff is at this moment asleep at the foot of the stairs".

At 7 a.m., as soon as the servants woke up, they rang the doorbell. The door opened to reveal a hall exactly as described by Less, except for the dog. But the servants told that it did sleep at the foot of the stairs at night and was let out into the garden in the morning.

"This is the hand of God," whispered the Inspector.

He asked for Sir Williams wife. She told them an incredible story. Her husband was a dual personality. To the outside world, he was always a kindly and sympathetic man. But there were times in the privacy of home, when he turned into a brutal and uncontrollable sadist. To escape his rage, at times, she had to lock herself and the children into the bedroom. Then came the most horrible revelation. When the Ripper murders began to take place, she noticed whenever a murder had occurred, her husband was absent from home.

Sir Williams wife admitted that her husband experienced occasional lapses of memory. She recalled how he came home several times quite late at night with bloodstains on his clothes. On asking, Sir William explained them as frequent nosebleeds he suffered as a symptom of the stroke.

A search of the house brought proof that the Ripper had been found at last. The doctor's respectable personality was overcome by horror. Though the culprit begged to be killed at once, it was never considered. Instead, a team of 12 doctors was commissioned. The Ripper was declared insane and the matter was hushed up by swearing all the parties to secrecy.

The mad doctor was put into an asylum far away, where he was lodged under a pseudo name. However, to account for Sir William Gull's disappearance, a sham death and burial was arranged. The public was convincingly duped. Even the asylum keepers never thought that they had the custody of notorious Jack the Ripper murderer. To them, he was simply the inmate No. 124 till the day he died.

"Jack the Ripper was the unknown brutal murderer. He would kill young girls, mainly prostitutes, mercilessly."

Daniel Dunglas Home: First Psychic

He became a legend in his lifetime. The spirits were kind to him and their help, he performed feats that made scientist bite their nails. For the layman, he was a person with extraordinary powers, who could invoke spirits and make them do his bidding. Daniel Home remained an enigma throughout his life. He kept on proving the existence of spirits and his control over them. Astonished at his feats, famous scientist William Crookes had to admit that Home made science look dwarf before his achievements. Nobody has been able to unravel the secrets of his magical world. DANIEL HOME could be called an unsolved puzzle. Tall and lithe, he was not endowed with physical strength, but he derived his "supernatural powers" from his friendly spirits. He had no parallel as far as his control over spiritual powers was concerned. These spirits seemed to have influenced him from his early childhood. Father Stove declared him to be possessed by evil spirits. During his childhood, he had to live in his own solitary world with only a piano as company.

He was a forceful speaker from an early age. He devoted his time to studies and became a preacher. His voice had magic in it and people stood spellbound as this 13-year-old preacher spoke to them.

The first miracle of his life occurred when he was a child. It happened in 1846, when he was living with his aunt. One night, he woke her up and told her that Edwin's spirit came to him. his aunt wondered if he had gone mad. Home threw his hands in the air three times and like a seasoned soothsayer declared that his friend Edwin was dead. His aunt went to sleep, but soon she came to know that Edwin died in an accident three days back.

Four years after, he proclaimed that his mother would die at the age of 42. But, he would be able to keep contact with her soul for three years. This also proved true. After her death, Home was all alone in this world. He had established his reputation as a preacher. Though he had none whom he could call his own in this world, the doors of another world were always open to him. The spirits were ever ready to guide him through his life. The people had come to know that Home invoked spirits and were eager to see his miracles.

He became a legend in his life time because of his "friendship" with spirits. During his life, Home remained a challenge for the top scientists who could not explain this phenomenon.

Home used to disappear before hundreds of spectators. he would fly in the air with the spirits and dance with them. Many times he turned into smoke, then a dot. his head separated from his body and went out of the window. The spectators were dumbfounded and looked at these feats breathlessly. The next moment they found him on a chair amongst them.

The whole work has astonished at his magical power. World famous physical chemist, William Crookes, wrote about him in the July 1, 1871, issue of 'Quarterly Journal of Science', "When I recollect what I saw, my mind gets clouded. Logic says that from the point of view of science this is impossible. I can assert with certainty that I have not discovered any trick or sleight of hand. How he does all this beyond my comprehension. It is really strange that Home has dwarfed the achievements of science. In comparison, his feats seem taller."

During the first phase of his world tour, he went to Willmantinck where he stayed with Hieden. during his stay he met Dr. George Bush, a professor in New York University. It was a mere coincidence that Dr. bush was interested in supernatural things and was doing a lot of studies to know about it. He took Home along with him, when he lectured on the subject. The audience paid more attention to the simple talk of home as they failed to understand the highly intellectual and verbose language of Dr. Bush. Home made his audience aware of the unknown and mysterious world of supernatural elements. They were deeply impressed.

As his reputation spread, a team of intellectuals of Europe came to see him. The members of this delegation were poet Calin Brant, B.K. Wills, William Edward and David A. Wills, who were renowned scholars. They were simply astonished by what he demonstrated. Poet Brant became so enamored of Home's prowess that he called him 'the golden ray of dawn'. This delegation prepared a document and signed it. They wrote. "We were sitting around a large table. We saw that the table started moving up and was flying in the air. The chairs, on which we were seated, also started moving of their own. Then we found ourselves floating in the air."

"When Mr. Wills tried to hold on to the table, some invisible hand pushed him away, and he found himself on the table." The poet Brant wrote, "I could see the floor in tremor. home was cautioning everyone to keep their feet firmly planted. The room was full of light in which we could see everything clearly. we were in full control of our senses. as such, we can assert that we were not deceived in any manner."

Home then went to New York. The intellectual of the city revived him warmly. A delegation comprising the well-known homeopath Dr. John Gray, Justice John W. Edmons of New York and Dr. Robert Hare, professor of chemistry in Pennsylvania University, came to see his miracles. After the demonstration, these eminent people were all praise for Home and wrote, "We saw the presence of spirits with our own eyes. Their presence was luminous like electricity. We saw that blue light emitted from the tips of fingers and toes of these denizens of the world of spirits."

Editor, F. Elbwer saw Home's demonstration on August 8, 1852, and wrote in his paper, "A blue light materialized and engulfed Home. Then Home started rising towards the ceiling. Home said that his feet were not on the floor. I personally saw that he rose like a balloon and stopped at the ceiling. Then, he gradually came down as if a balloon had been pricked with needle. As soon as he touched the floor, flowers showered from above. Some flowers fell on my and my friends' head and shoulders."

Elbwer wrote in his paper about another breathtaking demonstration by Home. According to him, "It was a beautiful night in the room was flooded with the light of the stars. Everything was clearly visible. Ward, Saith, john and Cheney were sitting along with me around a table. The room also had a large-sized bell. Suddenly, the bell started ringing loudly and the shining hand of a spirit was seen in the room. The hand took the bell towards the ceiling. Then the same hand put the bell on the table. This hand shook hands with Cheney brothers and then disappeared."

Ward Cheney has written about another incident. "It was a Sunday. Daylight flooded the room. Suddenly, the table in the room started tossing about like a ship engulfed in a storm. We felt as if ocean waves were lashing the room. Daniel started pronouncing letters from alphabet. When these letters were put together, they constituted the name of a friend of Nick Chester who was sitting in the room. Home then declared that his friend died by drowning in the sea. His spirit had just visited us. Later, this turned out to be absolutely true."

Home had a millions of admirers throughout the world because of the miraculous demonstrations. Bishop Clarke called him a unique magician and wrote, "Ordinary magicians show their tricks with the help of a bag, springs, gloves, iron rods and many other such items. Home is a man of extraordinary powers and has changed the life-stream of many people."

Home fell sick during his stay in America. Two well-known physicians, Dr. Gerald and Dr. Gray, had already told him in 1853, that his left lung had collapsed. Home did not bother. Continuous demonstrations and travel had badly affected his health. He returned to England leaving his admirers behind in America.

Here too, he was surrounded by admirers. Dr. Wilkinson wrote in Morning Adviser, "I have seen the miracles performed by Home with my daughter. The table in the room moved on its own. Then, it started flying and touched the ceiling, as if it had grown wings. The bell rang without anybody touching it. To top it all, the accordion kept in the room started playing tunes. My daughter was surprised to see all this. Suddenly some invisible spirit started singing on the accordion in a melodious voice: God save the king and Home, sweet Home, sweet Home."

Home had regained his strength in England. He planned a world trip. He first went to Florence which prove momentous to him. Home later admitted that his trip to Florence was more important that his journey in England and America. He was simply adored Florence. Hundreds of people lined the roads when he went for a morning walk. But, there was also no dearth of opponents and many people were jealous of his popularity. Some people asked him to leave Florence and even threatened to kill him.

As a matter of fact, a sort of decline had set in his life. "The spirits had taken leave him claiming that they were no longer suitable medium for Home. He had to remain separated from them for some time."

It was the night of February 10, 1857. Home felt that an invisible hand was caressing his body. Home heard a voice that said, "Daniel be happy." Now that loving hand was caressing his forehead. Daniel was overjoyed. His eyes were full of tears of happiness. His magical world has taken a re-birth.

He gave his demonstration before Napoleon III and Queen Eugene on February 13, 1857. Horrible sounds echoed in that royal room. The doors shut with loud bangs. Suddenly a lot of pigeons appeared in the room. The emperor shouted to anger to stop this display of pigeons. In a moment all the pigeons vanished and rose petals started raining in the room. The queen felt that somebody was pulling her dress. She shrieked out of fear. Home said, "please remove your hand from the table. You will not be afraid then."

As soon as she removed her hand from the table, she burst out with joy and exclaimed, "This hand is of my father." When the emperor touched the hand it shone like silver.

Home made another astonishing demonstration before the emperor. Smoke filled the room and then gradually it converted itself into a child's hand. This hand moved towards the people like an arrow. The chandeliers in the room were shattered to pieces and the glass scattered. Everything in the room shook. Melodious tunes were heard on the accordion. Knots appeared on the silk handkerchief of the queen. Silver bells floated in the room. In the end, the miraculous hand wrote on a paper "Napoleon'. The emperor admitted that it was the hand of Napoleon I.

Home went to Paris. He got a tumultuous reception, but fell sick. To recoup his health, he toured Florence, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Rome and Russia. in Russia, he met a pretty girl named Alexadrona Decrol, whom he married in August, 1858. Then he went on a world trip accompanied by his wife, whom he lovingly called Satcha. Home acquired immense wealth during this period. His wife was sick of her husband's busy life and travels. She fell ill and died on July 3, 1862, after a long sickness.

Now, Home was absolutely alone. He was broken-hearted due to his wife's death. He decided to take leave from his world of miracles. He stopped giving demonstration and started writing his autobiography. His health was fast failing. Eventually, he died on July 21, 1886. Even today, his life is a riddle. Home is still alive in the minds of people because of his world of magic and miracles and his extraordinary prowess in controlling denizens of Supernatural World.

PALMISTRY (Chiromancy)

CHIROMANCY, which includes Chirognomy, concerning which we propose to treat in the following pages, is of very ancient origin. In fact, the Science is that which enables us to divine character, past events, and destiny from the shape, the mounds, and the lines of the hands.

There is more in this science than may at first sight appear to an observer. We know that certain bumps upon the head indicate certain characteristics of human nature. The colour of the hair and eyes, the form of the mouth, of the chin and nose, the shape of the ears, with other signs and attributes of person, and the general form of the body, nails, and fingers afford certain and infallible indications of temperament as varied as the forms of ear or face. Nothing in nature is more remarkable than the fact that, although every individual amongst the millions of living human beings possesses features, and organs of perception, visibly formed for the same purposes, and used for those purposes, no two persons possess them exactly alike. The variety therefore is infinite.

What then, are we to say concerning the hand of man? Character can be read from the features and expression of the face, why not from the marks and lines upon the hand? Because, you will say, the "horny-handed son of toil ”will show you more and ft greater variety of marks (not lines) than the idle man, or the individual who works with his pen, and not with spade, pickaxe, or hammer. We grant that the effects of manual labour will be different, but they will not produce the same lines. Put any two men at the same work, their hands will not be any more alike after a week's work than they were at the beginning of the week. Neither is the lines in the hand caused by the general folding or construction; as an old writer puts it Deus et Natura nihil efficiunt frustra. Certainly nothing has been made in vain, and why, then, should the lines of the human hand not bear some significance? "Nature," continues one old authority, "has impressed lines in the forehead which is not capable of restriction or placation, therefore this cannot hold, that the construction of the hands should cause the formation or appearance of lines in the hands; or between the joints of the fingers many persons have lines, and of different forms. Other people have very few may hap none at all and here there is no flexion. "We therefore support the principle that there is a meaning attached to the lines and mounds of the hand, though we will not take upon ourselves to affirm unreservedly that the meanings attached to those lines or mounds are always unalterably the true ones, as far as the future is concerned. It is against reason and common sense to foretell, beyond power of mutation, events which cannot certainly be known to any human being. That certain identical lines and mounds are visible in the hands of individuals of like temperament is not to be gainsaid. Phrenology has given us standing ground for so much assumption in regard to Chiromancy. Lavater was a master in reading temperament from facial observation. The hand will afford as much information if we study it properly. As to which hand should be inspected, it is the generally received rule that the left hand is the one which the Chiromant must study first, and that the indications which he finds in that hand must be modified or corrected by those found in the right ; and this, it seems to us, is owing to the fact that the left hand is (except in the case of a left-handed subject) comparatively the idle hand, and is therefore the more adapted to the proper formation of the lines and mounds. We have found in an ancient authority a manifestly absurd rule which declares that it depends whether the owner of the hand had been born by night or by day ; that if the former, the left hand is to be inspected, that in the latter case the right hand ; though both are necessary for a complete divination.

" Node etiam natis sinistra magis favet, die vero

et in aurora natis dextra, quamvis utraque manut

probe inspicienda et examinanda est
."

We shall recur to this in the body of the work, and therefore pass on if the consideration of the antiquity and history of Chiromancy, which will lead us to the practical chapters on the science. It is not impossible to ascertain the origin of Chiromancy, nor would it be of much practical use if we could do so. It has been stated that Homer wrote a treatise upon the science, but this is improbable on the face of it The Romans appear to .They been acquainted with Chiromancy; and Dryden, in his Juvenal, says—

"The middle sort, who have not much to spare, To Chiromancer's cheaper art repair, Who clap the pretty palm to make the lines more fair."

Artemidorus, in the second century, wrote of Chiromancy, and we have many later authors, such as Codes in 1504, De la Chambre 1653, with other Italian and French writers, as well as Germans, down to the lady who produced the " Grand Jeu de Socie'te' " in Paris.

The first regular work, however, upon this art or science seems to have been produced in the 15th century by Hartlieb, who produced a very remarkable and now very rare volume entitled "Die Kunst Ciromantia." The date of this volume a rare specimen of the block printing is 1448. Codes above mentioned appears to have made a study of Chiromancy, and it is recorded by the writer of the "Anecdotes de Florence," that he made some successful predictions from an observation of hands and features. Codes himself was the victim of the murder he predicted, and fulfilled his former prophecy to the effect that he himself would die from the effects of a blow upon the head, which did actually cause his death. This prediction came true to the letter, as he was struck with an axe by the man whom he had connected with a "detestable murder," to be performed that very day.

The study of Physiology and Chiromancy (or Palmistry) were not uncommonly united, and many seers tried their hands at the art we have found two very excellent professors, whose works, with other rather more modern and equally scarce pamphlets, we have laid under contribution in the following pages. We have devoted some years to the study of the subject, and, reading the palm as we do, we find much to recommend the art. There is considerable instruction to be gained by its practice, but we would recommend caution in fully interpreting the lines of the hand in public. There may well be occasions when silence even will best meet the case; for, putting aside the objection sensitive people may entertain on the subject, nervous individuals, and those whose minds are apt to dwell upon trifles as likely to affect their future happiness, should not be "operated on."

We have had experience of this in ordinary "fortune-telling," when "tears" tell to the lot of a lady three times successively, notwithstanding some good natured attempts to alter Fate by shuffling the fortunetelling apparatus. The young lady was deeply impressed by the singular repetition of the unhappy fate in store for her, and did not recover her spirits for some days. As a matter of fact, her life since then some fifteen years ago has been singularly unhappy, full of disappointments and pain, mentally and bodily. The prediction was only too true.

But to resume, Chiromancy died out in the seventeenth century, when Physiognomy usurped its place, but within a few months Society has taken up the "craze," as it has been ignorantly called, for there is much more sense in the study of Chiromancy than in ninety-nine of the passing fancies taken up by people who have no time to take up anything. One ancient writer said that. Chiromancy "informeth us to know and discern by the Hand the Complexions and Constitutions of Bodies ; the Sufferings and Sorrows of Humane Life ; the Felicity and Infelicity thereof; and, in fine, all things Good or Bad that may befall or betide Man or Woman." Most singular speculations may be drawn from the lines, he says ; that is to say, " from their Longitude, Latitude, Profundity, Rectitude, Obliquity, Intersection, Application, Opposition, Conjunction, Separation, Continuity, Discontinuity, Proportion, Disproportion, Lucidity, Apparency, Pallidity, Rubedity, Fuscedity (which is a cloudy darkness of color), Mollicity," &c., from their "Position, Calligation, and Form."

Nor is this all that pertains to the correct reading of the hands : there are other indications which the student must take note of and remember, such as the crosses, stars, rays, and branches, ascensions and dissensions, "right or torted;" so Palmistry is not the mere amusement it would appear. Granting, therefore, that these lines were put upon the hands by Nature, as indications of character, or as heritage from our parents and remoter ancestors, whose characteristics we naturally inherit, we shall be able to make certain diagnoses of the kind of people we are.

The explanation of these signs is named CHIROMANCY."

"Seek and ye shall find!" said the greatest and highest Philosopher, but now and then to aid the feeble powers of man, to guide his erring but welt intentioned footsteps, Providence sends a man gifted with powers beyond those of his fellow-mortals, whose efforts, whose researches, and whose natural powers, help man a step farther towards that goal which is already in sight, towards that power which is only just out of reach of our grasp, towards that knowledge which is man's pre-ordained prerogative, but for which, in the days of our forefathers, its seekers were condemned to the prison, the torture, and the scaffold. Such men as this were Hermes Trismegistus, Apollonius, and Paracelsus such men are and have been Gall, Lavater, D'Arpentigny, and Desbarrolles. Gall and Lavater taught methods of divination complicated to acquire and difficult to put into practice. M. le Capitaine D'Arpentigny at length appeared on the scene, endowed with a cool judgment, an indomitable perseverance, and an unflagging watchfulness. The system he inaugurated, under the title of Chirognomy, though vague in places, became elucidated and enlarged as it passed through the hands and brains of such men as Bichat, Montaigne, Rabelais, Herder, and Balzac. To these men came Desbarrolles, with his sister science Chiromancy; what the former wanted, the latter supplied; what was confusing in the latter was explained by the former; and the twin doctrines uniting with their younger and necessarily more fallible satellite, Graphology, became a harmonious whole, " The Science of the Hand. Desbarrolles, having studied all the Chiromantic works on which the Sorcerers, Astrologers, Necromancers, and Charlatans of the Middle Ages founded their pretended knowledge, rejected all as the creations of unscrupulous mystery-mongers, and seeking for Chiromancy its true origin in the Kaballa of primitive India, embodied the principles of our science, by which the instincts of man, his past life, and, to a certain extent, his future may be explained and revealed.

We say "to a certain extent," for were we to say the absolute unavoidable future may be read in the hand, we should lay ourselves open to just condemnation for charlatanry and fatalism. What we do claim for the science is this, that by indicating, by means of the instincts and tendencies shown in the hands, the events which, if left to themselves, would supervene, such events, by the suppression of the tendencies which will bring them about, may be neutralized or avoided entirely. Let us -claim for this Opuscule the merit of opening your eyes to the tendencies of your nature, and the probable results of those tendencies. Let this brochure be the means by which you may so encourage your finer instincts, and so combat and neutralize your evil ones, that by attention to the aptitudes and weaknesses with which you entered this world, you may learn and labour truly to get your own living in that state of life unto which it shall have pleased God to call you.

HOW TO GET YOUR NUMEROLOGY

Lets make an example for you to learn how to get your numerology.

Numerological equivalent of every number:

1 A J S

2 B K T

3 C L U

4 D M V

5 E N W

6 F O X

7 G P Y

8 H Q Z

9 I R

Example:

ADOLPHUS HITLER

A=1 D=4 O=6 L=3 P=7 H=8 U=3 S=1 H=8 I=9 T=2 L=3 E=5 R=9

Then add all the numbers, like this: 1+4+6+3+7+8+3+1+8+9+2+3+5+9 = 69

So numerological equivalent of Adolphus Hitler is 69, his 'master number' add it into a single digit 6+9 = 15 = 1+5 = 6 every double number must be add to a single number. 'Soul number' of Adolfus Hitler is '6'.

Now, you now the basic of numerology. Good luck for exploring the magickal world of numbers.

NUMEROLOGY

"The world is built upon the power of numbers."(Pythagoras)

Numerology considered as one of the Ancient Mystic Knowledge. Those who tried to know its exact origin, they did not found when and where it came from.

"In reality the originator of Numerology is Thoth Anubis---also known as‘ dho-ti’. The inventor of nine cosmic numbers. We can notice that Ancient Egyptian connect their alphabet to number; it is because they believe that number possesses occult power. This concept combined the number and astrology,both of them has strong link to each other. That’s why during ancient time our nature connect to this mystical number. Like 5 senses, 7 colors of spectrum,the 12 zodiacal signs, and others."

In Qaballah or in the philosophy of Judaism, the number has it mystical meaning. In ancient times and even in Middle Ages, we can notice the study of spiritual knowledge based on science of numbers. In reality, the Bible written in Ancient Hebrew, was based in Numerology. Look 666 in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666). In revelation 13:18 stated that you need the wisdom to count the number of the BEAST, so in what way or what system do you use to count the number of the beast? John 'the divine' the writer of the Book of Revelation was initiated in Hebrew Qaballah, so its proper to use this system to decipher the number of the BEAST.

Qaballah was a combination of Egyptian and Babylonian knowledge, it contains secret mystical book of Jews, like magickal and philosophical arts of number known as GEMATRIA, based on 22 letters of Hebrew Alphabet. It is originally came from Egyptian Alphabet.

Most knowledge pertains to numerology, was based on the theory of Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, he was learn and study the numerology in India.He believes that the world is built upon the power of numbers, and all of this things can be explained through numbers the key to cosmological knowledge.

Numerology was also known as Numeromancia or Aritomancia was use in all divination. In present numerologist focus on knowing the traits and character of every individual and it is relation to them. The basis of numerology it believes that the number especially those who start from 1 to 9 gives strong influence to their life and personality.

All entity has their number can be connect to the important event in their life. Number of names and birthday was the first factor can be considered.

ASTROLOGY

Astrology literally means the study (or science, depending on how one translates the Greek word logos) of the stars (astron). Astrology differs from astronomy by confining its attention to the study of correlations between celestial events and humanly meaningful events. Most people are familiar with only a tiny portion of the science of the stars, namely the 12 signs of the Zodiac as they relate to the personality of individuals and the use of astrology for divinatory purposes.

The Zodiac (literally the “circle of animals” or, in its more primary meaning, the “circle of life” or “circle of living beings”) is the belt constituted by the 12 signs—Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. This “belt” is said to extend 8° or 9° on either side of the ecliptic (the imaginary line drawn against the backdrop of the stars by the orbit of the Earth). The orbits of the various planets in the solar system all lie within approximately the same geometric plane, so that, from a position within the system, all of the heavenly bodies appear to move across the face of the same set of constellations. Several thousand years ago, these constellations gave their names to the Zodiac.

The notion of the Zodiac is very ancient, with roots in the early cited cultures of Mesopotamia. The first 12-sign zodiacs were named after the gods of these cultures. The Greeks adopted astrology from the Babylonians, and the Romans, in turn, adopted astrology from the Greeks. These peoples renamed the signs of the Mesopotamian Zodiac in terms of their own mythologies, which is why the familiar Zodiac of the contemporary West bears names out of Mediterranean mythology. The notion of a 12-fold division derives from the lunar cycle (the orbital cycle of the Moon around the Earth), which the Moon completes 12 times per year. From a broad historical perspective, zodiacal symbolism can be found everywhere, and zodiacal expressions are still in use in modern English—e.g., “bull-headed” (an allusion to Taurus), “crabby” (an allusion to Cancer), etc.

The popularity of Sun-sign astrology (the kind found in the daily newspaper) has kept these ancient symbols alive in modern society, so that even such prominent artifacts as automobiles have been named after some of the signs (e.g., the Taurus and the Scorpio). The sign of the Zodiac the Sun is in at the time of a person’s birth is his or her Sun sign (sometimes also called the birth sign). The Sun, as the most important celestial body for Earth-dwellers, is the most important influence in a horoscope (an astrological chart). Consequently, the sign that the Sun is in at birth will usually be the single most important influence on an individual’s personality. Thus when people say that they are a certain sign, they are almost always referring to their Sun sign. Sun-sign astrology, which is the kind of astrology one finds in newspapers and magazines, has the advantage of simplicity—all one needs to know is one’s birthday to be able to figure out one’s sign—but this simplicity is purchased at the price of ignoring all other astrological influences.

The other important celestial bodies, for example, were all located in signs at the moment of birth. Thus, someone with a Scorpio Sun sign might also have a Sagittarius Moon sign, a Virgo Venus sign, a Libra Mercury sign, etc. Each of these other signs has an influence, which is why everyone with the same Sun sign does not have the same personality. The subsidiary influences of the sign positions of the planets is further modified by the angles between them (referred to as aspects), as well as by their house positions (another set of 12 divisions).

These other influences make Sun-sign astrology a hit-or-miss system that works sometimes but fails miserably at others. Professional astrologers tend to dislike Sun-sign astrology because it creates a misconception of the science of the stars (i.e., that astrology is entirely about Sun signs), and because its inaccuracy leads non-astrologers to reject astrology as untrue. Similar remarks apply to predictions of the future by the 12 signs. Sun sign prediction, in other words, is also a hit-or-miss system that sometimes works and sometimes misses the mark entirely. The columns found in popular periodicals also tend to create misperceptions about the nature of astrological prediction. In particular, readers can come away with the impression that astrological prediction is a kind of astrological fortune-telling that portrays the stars as if they foretold an irrevocable destiny for the person having her or his fortune told. Modern astrologers, however, tend to distance themselves from this tradition of predicting specific events. Instead of predicting events, most contemporary astrologers describe upcoming planetary conditions, with the understanding that clients have the free will to respond to planetary influences in different ways. Like a meteorologist, an astrologer can only predict trends and probabilities—not details.

SIGNS OF PSYCHIC ATTACK

IF we look at the universe around us we cannot fail to realise that there must be some over ruling plan co-ordinating its infinite complexity. If we take into our hands and examine minutely any living thing, however simple, equally must we realise that the ordered diversity of its parts is built up on a determining framework. Science has sought in ...vain for this organising principle; it will never find it on the physical plane, for it is not physical. It is not the inherent nature of atoms which causes them to arrange themselves in the complex patterns of living tissues. The driving forces of the universe, the framework upon which it is built up in all its parts, belong to another phase of manifestation than our physical plane, having other dimensions than the three to which we are habituated, and perceived by other modes of consciousness than those to which we are accustomed.

We live in the midst of invisible forces whose effects alone we perceive. We move among invisible forms whose actions we very often do not perceive at all, though we may be profoundly affected by them.

In this mind-side of nature, invisible to our senses, intangible to our instruments of precision, many things can happen that are not without their echo on the physical plane. There are beings that live in this invisible world as fish live in the sea. There are men and women with trained minds, or special aptitudes, who can enter into this invisible world as a diver descends to the ocean-bed. There are also times when, as happens to a land when the sea-dykes break, the invisible forces flow in upon us and swamp our lives.

Normally this does not occur. We are protected by our very incapacity to perceive these invisible forces. There are four conditions, however, in which the veil may be rent and we may meet the Unseen. We may find ourselves in a place where these forces are concentrated. We may meet people who are handling these forces. We may ourselves go out to meet the Unseen, led by our interest in it, and get out of our depth before we know where we are; or we may fall victim to certain pathological conditions which rend the veil.

The Threshold of the Unseen is a treacherous coast on which to bathe. There are potholes and currents and quicksands. The strong swimmer, who knows the coast, may venture in comparative safety. The non-swimmer, who takes counsel of nothing but his own impulses, may pay for his temerity with his life. But we must not make the mistake of thinking that these invisible forces are necessarily evil and inimical to humanity. They are no more inimical in themselves than are water or fire, but they are potent. If we run counter to them, the result is disastrous for us, for we have broken a natural law; but they are not out to attack us, any more than we are out to attack them. We must face the fact, however, that men and women with knowledge of these things, have, both in the past and in the present, used that knowledge unscrupulously, and that we may find our selves involved in the results of their actions. It may safely be said that the Unseen is only evil and inimical to humanity when it has been corrupted and perverted by the activities of these unscrupulous men and women, whom initiates call adepts of the Left-hand Path.

We must consider the outward and visible signs of psychic attack before we are in a position to analyse the nature of such attacks and indicate their source of origin. It is a fundamental rule that diagnosis must precede treatment. There are many different kinds of psychic attacks, and the methods that will dispose of one will be ineffectual against another.

The commonest form of psychic attack is that which proceeds from the ignorant or malignant mind of our fellow human beings. We say ignorant as well as malignant, for all attacks are not deliberately motived; the injury may be as accidental as that inflicted by a skidding car. This must always be borne in mind, and we should not impute malice or wickedness as a matter of course when we feel we are being victimised. Our persecutor may himself be a victim. We

should not accuse a man of malice if we had linked hands with him and he had stepped on a live rail. Nevertheless, we should receive at his hands a severe shock. So it may be with many an occult attack. The person from whom it emanates may not have originated it. Therefore we should never respond to attack by attack, thus bringing ourselves down to the moral level of our attackers, but rely upon more humane methods, which are, in reality, equally effectual and far less dangerous to handle.

People also come into touch with the Unseen through the influence of places. Someone who is not actually psychic, but who is sufficiently sensitive to perceive the invisible forces subconsciously, may go to a place where they are concentrated at a high tension. Normally, although we move in the midst of these forces (for they sustain our universe), we are oblivious of them. Where they are concentrated, however, unless we are very dense-minded, we begin to be dimly conscious of something that is affecting us and stirring our subliminal self.

It may happen that the barrier between consciousness and subconsciousness is dense in some people, and they are never able clearly to realize what is going on. They merely have the sense of oppression and general malaise, which lifts when they go away to another place. Consequently, the condition may never be detected, and lead to years of ill-health and misery.

More commonly, however, if there is a definite psychic attack of sufficient force to make itself noticeable at all, there will soon begin to appear characteristic dreams. These may include a sense of weight upon the chest, as if someone were kneeling on the sleeper. If the sense of weight is present, it is certain that the attack emanates locally, for the weight is due to the concentration of etheric substance or ectoplasm, and is sufficiently tangible to press down the scale of a balance when it is possible to capture it for measurement. A great deal of research has been done with materialising mediums upon the nature of this tangible subtle substance, and the reader is referred to the books on the experiments conducted by Crawford with the Goligher Circle at Belfast, and in Paris with Eva C. by other experimenters, for further information and evidence on this subject. It may be noted that Crawford eventually committed suicide for no known reason.

A sense of fear and oppression is very characteristic of. occult attack, and one of the surest signs that herald it. It is extremely rare for an attack to make itself manifest out of the blue, as it were. We are not in our normal state of mind, body and circumstance, and then find ourselves suddenly in the midst of an invisible battle. An approaching occult influence casts its shadow on consciousness before it makes itself apparent to the non-psychic. The reason for this is that we perceive subconsciously before we realise consciously, and a line of creeping shade indicates the penetrating of the subconscious censor from below upwards.

As the attack progresses, nervous exhaustion becomes increasingly marked, and there may, under certain conditions, which we will consider later, be such wasting of the tissues that the victim is reduced to a mere bloodless shell of skin and bones, lying on the bed, too weak to move. And yet no definite disease can be demonstrated.

Such a case is an extreme example, proceeding unchecked to its logical conclusion. Other issues are possible, however. The resistance may be good, in which case the attack is unable to gain a foothold on the physical plane, and is limited to that borderland between matter and mind which we perceive upon the threshold of sleep. This is a very terrible experience, for the victim is afraid to sleep and cannot keep awake indefinitely. Worn out by fear and lack of sleep, mental breakdown soon supervenes.

Nervous exhaustion and mental breakdown are the commoner results of astral attack among white people, for in Europe at any rate it is not often that an attacker is able to bring the attack to a conclusion in the death of the victim. There are, however, records of cases where the victim has died of pure fright. Kipling's terrible story, The End of the Passage, gives an account of such an occurrence.

But in addition to the purely subjective phenomena, there will also be objective ones if the attack has any degree of concentration. The phenomenon of repercussion is well known, the phenomenon wherein that which befalls the subtle body is reflected in the dense body, so that after an astral skirmish during sleep, bruises are found on the physical body, sometimes bruises of a definite pattern. I have seen the print of a goat's hoof and the ace of clubs marked upon the skin as well-defined bruises, passing from blue to yellow and dying away in the course of a few days, as bruises will.

Evil odours are another manifestation of an astral attack. The characteristic smell is of decomposing flesh, and it comes and goes capriciously; but while it is manifesting, there is no doubt whatever about it, and anyone who is present can smell it, whether they are psychic or not. I have also known a frightful stench of drains arise when a ritual belonging to the Element of Earth was being incorrectly performed.

Another curious phenomenon is the precipitation of slime. I have not actually seen this myself, but I have first-hand information upon good authority of one such case. The marks are sometimes as if an army of slugs had been marching in ordered formation; sometimes there is a broad smear of slime, and at others, distinct footprints, often of gigantic size. In the case to which I refer, of which I heard from an eye-witness, the marks were like the foot prints of an elephant, enormous tracks on the floor of the drawing-room of a bungalow situated near the sea.

Odd footprints appearing from nowhere and leading nowhere, are sometimes observed when there is snow about. I have seen them on two occasions on the roof of an out building. They alighted upon the edge of it, as if the walker had stepped off an aeroplane, went straight across, and ended abruptly at the wall of the main building upon which the lean-to abuts. They did not return. A single line of footprints came from nowhere and ended in a lofty wall.

A similar happening took place on a very extensive scale in Devon some fifty years ago, and an account of it is to be found in that very curious book, Oddities, by Commander Gould. In this case, however, the prints were not human, but were those of what was apparently the hoof of a donkey, proceeding in a single line and going straight through walls and over roofs and covering the best part of a couple of hundred miles in a single night on both sides of an unbridged estuary. Those who want confirmatory evidence would do well to consult Commander Gould's book, where the incident is given in detail.

There is a curious phenomenon known to occultists as the astral bell; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle makes use of it in one of his Sherlock Holmes stories. This sound varies from a dear, bell-like note to a faint click. I have often heard it resemble the sound made by striking a cracked wine-glass with a knife-blade. It commonly announces the advent of an entity that is barely able to manifest, and need not necessarily be a herald of evil at all. It may simply be a knock on the door of the physical world to attract the attention of the inhabitants to the presence of one who stands without and would speak with them. If, however, it occurs in the presence of other symptoms of an astral attack, it would give strong evidence in confirmation of the diagnosis.

Inexplicable outbreaks of fire are also sometimes seen in this connection. These indicate that elemental forces, not human, are at work. Poltergeist phenomena also occur, in which objects are flung about, bells rung and other noisy manifestations take place. Of course there may be multiplicity of phenomena, more than one type appearing in the same case.

Needless to say, the possibility of some natural, material explanation must never be ignored, even in cases where the supernatural element appears most obvious. It should always be diligently sought in every possible direction before any supernormal hypothesis is considered worthy of attention. But on the other hand, we should not be so wedded to materialistic theories that we refuse to take a psychic theory as a working hypothesis if it shows any possibility of being fruitful. After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and if, working on an occult hypothesis, we are able to clear up a case which has resisted all other methods of handling, we have pretty good evidence in support of our contention.

We must also bear in mind that the element of deliberate fraud may enter into the most unexpected places. I have seen a drug addict successfully pass himself off for a considerable length of time as the victim of an occult attack. A recent writer in the British Medical Journal declared that whenever he came across a case of bell-ringing, knocks, the dripping of water and oil from ceilings, and other untoward happenings, he always looked for the hysterical maidservant. Occultists would be very well advised to do likewise before they begin to worry about the Devil. But on the other hand, the wise man, whether occultist or scientist, will not insist upon the hysterical maidservant unless he can catch her red-handed, as he surely will do sooner or later if she is the guilty party.

Forged bank-notes would never gain currency unless there were such a thing as genuine bank-notes. It would never occur to anyone to produce fraudulent psychic phenomena unless there had been some genuine psychic phenomena to act as a pattern for the forgery.

The acceptance of an explanation should rest upon the weight of evidence in its favour, not upon one's dislike of its alternatives. I plead that the possibility of a non- material explanation should be investigated in cases where the materialistic hypothesis does not yield results. Not in diseases of the brain and nervous system, nor of the ductless glands, nor in repression of the natural instincts, shall we find the explanation in all cases wherein the mind is afflicted. There is more to man than mind and body. We shall never find the clue to the riddle of life until we realise that man is a spiritual being and that mind and body are the garments of his manifestation.

S.L. MacGregor Mathers (1854-1918)

S.L. MacGregor Mathers was a prominent occult scholar, author and a leader of the occult revival in the late 1880’s. He had a life long fascination with magic, mysticism and Celtic symbolism that led him to hold high office in the S.R.I.A. (Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia). He, together with Dr. William Wynn Westcott and Dr. William Woodman was a co-founder of the influential secret occult Order known as the “Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn”.

Little is documented about the early life of Mathers, though we do know he came from a humble background and spent most of his life on the borders of poverty surviving mainly on the charity of his friends and peers. He was born on the 8th of January 1854 at 11 De Beauvoir Place in Hackney in London. His father William M. Mathers was a commercial clerk and his mother is known only as “Miss Collins”. His father died during his early childhood after which his mother moved from London to Bournemouth where they lived until her death in 1885.

Early in his life Mathers developed an interest in boxing, fencing and military strategy. During his early twenties with aspirations of a military career, he joined the First Hampshire Infantry Volunteers. A self-portrait photograph he had taken depicts him wearing the uniform of a Lieutenant, though in fact he never rose above the rank of private. His first book was actually a military manual, Practical Instruction in Infantry Campaigning Exercise (1884), which was based on a French military manual and adapted for the needs of the British Army.

Masonic and Rosicrucian interests:

Shortly after, Mathers began to take an interest in Freemasonry and on the 4th October 1877 was initiated into the “Lodge of Hengest - No. 195” in Bournemouth. His sponsor was E.L.V. Rebbeck a well-known real estate agent in the area. Mathers quickly progressed through the grades of Entered Apprentice and Fellow Craft, and was raised to Master Mason on January 30, 1878. A fellow member of the lodge was a student of Hebrew philosophy and Qabalah called Frederick Holland and it was he that introduced Mathers into occult studies. Holland was also a metallurgist, alchemist and avid crystal gazer, and without doubt they did some work together. Holland had a definite influence on Mathers particularly his teachings related to scrying and Spirit Vision.

In 1882 Mathers dropped out of Freemasonry and was admitted into the S.R.I.A. (Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia). He took to Rosicrucianism with serious enthusiasm and used for his motto "S Rioghail Mo Dhream (SRMD)”, which is Gaelic for “Royal is my Race”. Mathers quickly showed his aptitude for ceremonial magic, occult philosophy and esoteric languages, and within four years had become a member of the societies High Council. There he made the acquaintance of Dr. William Woodman (Magus of the society), and Dr. William Wynn Westcott (the Secretary General), he also served as Celebrant of the London College.

After the death of his mother in 1885, Mathers was left in poor circumstances and moved back to London. He took modest lodgings in Great Percy Street, King’s Cross, from where he was able to take up an appointment as the assistant librarian to Frederick Horniman M.P, founder of the famous Horniman Museum and an affluent tea importer. Encouraged by Dr. Woodman and Westcott from the S.R.I.A, Mathers continued with his occult studies and as a consummate student made considerable progress. So much so that with the aid of Dr. Westcott he was able to publish his first translation of Knorr Von Rosenroth's - Kabalab Denudata, which ran through several editions and earned him high regard in occult circles.

Mathers by now was an accomplished ritualist and transcriber of old texts, and it was to him after obtaining some old the Cipher Manuscripts in 1887, that Dr. Westcott approached to flesh out the ritual outlines contained with in them, and to turn them into functional initiation ceremonies (the code of the Cipher is believed to have come from a 15th century code originated by the Abbott Trithemius). Westcott also invited him to join a triumvirate of Chiefs with himself and Dr. Woodman in a newly created order to be called the “Hermetic Order Golden Dawn”. Mathers agreed and started work on the rituals.

In the meantime Mathers had made the acquaintance of Dr. Anna Kingsford and her associate Edward Maitland. They were founders of their own Hermetic Society based on esoteric Christianity, and became very close friends with Mathers. Dr. Kingsford was very knowledgeable on theoretical occultism, and it was to her that he dedicated his later translation the Qabbalah Unveiled. She was also one of the early fighters for women's rights and her belief in equally for women was shared and adopted by Mathers, who would later demanded that women share in the new Order of the Golden Dawn. She was also an anti-vivisectionist and a vegetarian. Mathers was also a vegetarian, and at a time when almost every male in English society smoked a pipe or cigar, Mathers was also a non-smoker. Without doubt Dr. Kingsford as a friend and leader of her own Society, greatly influenced Mathers.
