precious; second meant aeons, and crash
ing into the light, I furiously sought for
her, for the one. Alas! We turned the
sharp corners of the possible, and were
lost to each other forever. OF what avail
my travail: OF what avail my countless
cruel preparations? Oh, chance! Oh, fate!
l am one of the acoursed. silent multitude
Of the frustrate!''
When I was able to comprehend and en-
joy the inner meaning of this, l had not
slept for four successive nights. l then
stopped eating meat, consulted an as
trologer to have my lucky day, and bought
a bonnet that made me look hideous, but
which I wore conscientiously, because it
was my astral color
The Astral Color.
1t is very necessary to know your astral
color A great deal depends upon it in
devil worship. Color being one register of
the vibrations of the ether, and your soul
being another, to have perfect harmony in
your general makeup, the vibrations of
your dry goods and millinery must accord
with the motion of your soul In other
words, as l said, you must know your astral
color and wear It, though, in consequence,
the only man on earth you love turns to
another woman, who lives in open violation
of every astral principle.

Studying mystic numbers I came into
possession of the knowledge that the uni
verse is riding on the seventh wave of its
existence. and that so far as human life is
concerned. this amounts to tidal wave OF
destruction. Worse still. of more imme-
diate interest to me, found that the num-

Development of Occult Powers.
The more flesh and less sleep I got the
more my occult powers developed until
discovered that I was able to communi-
cate telepathically with my cook. This was
of immense practical well psychical
Importance. For instance, if after getting
to bed at night, I recollected having or
dered mullins for breakfast and recollected
furthermore that mullins are bad for the
complexion, by the aid of a Hindu move

me to reveal to an incredulous public,

would descend to breakfast the next morn

mullins on the table. To be sure. the ctok
frequently explained such phenomena, say
ing she had forgotten to order eggs the day
before and SO could not make mullins.
How ever, this had no weight with my
opinion of the character of my relation
with her, nor did it enter into the Judgment

and advanced devil worshipers, / forward
