TEXT

1. GC: You will give an aura chart of the entity, [538] born February 22, 1880, in Hopkinsville, Ky. You will indicate the symbols, colors, and the meaning of each, that they may be made into a drawing that will be of help to the entity.
2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity known as or called [538].
3. In making an aura chart a practical help, much - as has been indicated - depends upon the artist's concept of that as may be given or indicated.
4. Much should be indicated in the chart of the entity's activities through varied experiences in the earth. These may be indicated by symbols of an astrological nature, as well as by the material figures or signs of the times - as indicated in those that have been given.
5. Then, there is not always the complete record of experiences, yet sufficient of these that the symbols for the entity should carry that conviction of this chart being representative, in a manner, of either the individuality or the personality of the entity.
6. As has been given in most, the hopeful - or that to which the entity may attain - should be stressed, to be sure, in all.
7. In preparing a chart for this entity, then:
8. As a background make that as would represent a scroll; this indicated from the turn at the lower lefthand corner and the turn - smaller - in the upper right hand corner of the board or paper upon which the design would be drawn. A fine line would outline the scroll, - this in gray or black.
9. Then upon the scroll would be these, for this entity:
10. In the center at the bottom put a vignetted figure of the pyramid; this with a good deal of foreground. In the SIDE of the foreground indicate a well with one palm tree about same, and the FLYING birds to the right side of the pyramid. The pyramid would be shaded in sand or stone - in the base, and to the top the brighter hues. For, we would indicate JUST the tip of the rising sun in the background toward the righthand side of the pyramid. In the left corner, opposite this central figure, put the symbol of Mercury; this in white and gold. There would be a star at the top and at the bottom, - an eight-pointed star at the bottom, a five-pointed star at the top - in pink. Then about this would be the sign of Aquarius; and at least three of these, in the form as to make something of a circle, see? Then upon the right opposite this, on the other side of the pyramid, put the symbol of Jupiter; this also to be in green and edged with gold and about same - top and bottom - a star. The bottom star would be eight-pointed, the top star the five-pointed. Then about same would be the sign of Libra.
11. This portion of the chart would indicate, then, the place, the consciousness, the water, the sun, and the sign of security; while that upon the left would indicate MIND - and as directed to portions of the anatomical body of the individual as an activity, and - as indicated to the public, or in Jupiter - the effect or the balance, or the liberation - AS indicated in the anatomical body, and illustrated by the signs there.
12. Above this, - not too large and yet not in an oval, though the figures in the background shaded together would indicate an oval, - the central figure, or the larger, would be the goddess Isis, WITH Horus upon the lap; this indicating especially the body of the goddess with the headdress, to be sure, of Taurus, or in that form, with the figure of the sun as the symbol in or between the horns of same. All of this would be in bronze color, save the center sun symbol which would be white. Indicate the special significance to Horus in the heart, or the manner of the entity's development towards children, motherhood, and the activities.
13. Upon the left side of this central figure would be the sheaf set up, as of wheat, and this the color of wheat; the straw, the head in same. All of this would be vignetted, NOT as superimposed or the like; and this representing ABUNDANCE. Beside same would be the sickle, - this in red; indicating wrath, but the handle in oaken color.
14. On the right side of the figure of Isis put the flax plant, indicating strength; not the papyrus, but the Egyptian flax that became a part of the security. And beside this plant, - or rather this plant would be before the home or house, or the entrance to a house, - this of board, NOT as of shingle or lattice but upright board - but only the entrance indicated; indicating the abundance, the consciousness, its purpose, and the home building.
15. On the left of this figure, very small, would be a cluster - at least three - of five-pointed stars, - this as a pyramid of the three, - this upon the left and upon the right side of same; indicating the strength, the purposefulness, and the entity's activities through those experiences.
16. The central figure above that - and this becoming, as it were, the central portion of the chart - and indicating a correct balance for the rest of the figures in the chart - would be two columns; these indicating a door, but opening from EACH or either column and away from and not towards the front of picture. Through this would be indicated a scene - valley, over which the sun would be beginning to rise, - this in pink, pearl gray, with sandstone as the column and the beam across the column at the top with the letters upon same, or character, EL.
17. Upon the left side of this indicate the symbol for Uranus, - this half red or coral, half white; and on the other side Saturn - this indicating a circle, or the ball - in silver gray, while the band about same would be very delicate purple.
18. This again would indicate the place, the activity, and the worship of the sun; yet indicating a beautiful vista through the portals of the columns, - as of strength that the entity brought to those experiences, which brought the activities indicated in Uranus as well as Saturn, and the strong figures and the strong characteristics of individuals as acted upon by the temperament and the tentative activity of the individual entity.
19. Above this the central figure would be as three figures, rather than one, yet each indicating an activity. The central would be the cup, - this as a goblet, but long, sloping sides. Upon the left side of this would be the hemlock leaf. Upon the right side would be a scroll, - this filled with fine lines of gold; indicating the activity in which mind, reason, poison, as well as learning, were a part of the activity of the entity through that experience.
20. Upon either side, in the characters, would be indicated - Mercury upon the left side, about same four figures of the sign Sagittarius - while upon the right would be the figure or symbol of Venus, and about same at least four figures of Pisces.
21. In the central figure above, - here we would set a crown, - with seven stars in the crown, opened as with the ball or torch of light, - this golden and white, with the shading of blue for the figure or shadow UNDER the crown.
22. There would be seven candles upon either side of this crown. In the center of the seven candles - above same - put the cross - upon either side; this indicating that to which the entity is measuring up - by the light of the cross, in the crown of glory in the Christ-Child.
23. Hence the Christ-Child face as a cherub, not touching - but below the crown.
24. We are through for the present.
