AM.8/1


[w_ Wednesday_]  February 12,  1918  [e.v.]

      With Mrs Elsa Linke. After dinner.
      I see the wizard standing up. The egg is there; the
child is sitting under a tree with the roots showing
where the rain has washed the dirt away. The lion, the
turtle and the mountain path are all there. Also the
remains of the charred fire sticks where I built the
first fire with the wizard. I greet the wizard. _Salam_
_Aleikum._ He lifts his left hand and drops pearls or
jewels from his fingers. He says ``Amaranthus.''

   Q: ``What is the connection with Amaranthus?''
   A:    I see a ship going South, loaded with Oriental things--
teak wood . . . I see a gold-fish washed upon the shore of
the sea. Amaranthus seems to mean something holy--
Holy Light. I see something about a lotus.
   Q: ``Is T. going to do any great work at the altar we are going
to set up in Egypt whence we are going to find that
egg?''
   A:    The wizard's function with me is to get the truth. He
knows the truth for me and is a guide to me. He expects
me to go to Egypt to get the egg. He expects T. to go.
T.'s work is some great work.
   Q: ``What is the magical name of Mrs L?''
   A: ``(Barzedon).'' _(Seven, secret, put away, hiding place, shining_
_light, for rising sun. T[herion].)_  I see a great white cloud
upon which there is a glow which turns into a ram's
head. There is a frog on the ground. The w[izard] says,
``From the toad much is to be learned.'' The toad is the
symbol for Barzedon.
   Q: ``When Barzedon is in danger is she to visualise the toad?''
   A: ``No. It is a more general symbol.''
   Q: ``Is it expedient to start to find the egg and when should
we start?''
   A:    The egg is a work which must be done--the great work.
By doing the work we get to the key.
   Q: ``Is it the same vision as in the Virakam vision?''
   A: ``The work must go on and there must be an altar, created
in Egypt--starting in Egypt.'' I see the Arab, the one
that was at the well some time ago. He will be at one of
the corners of the altar. The king is there.

   AM.8/2


   Q: ``Who is the king?''
   A:    I see O.I.V.V.I.O.   T. is the High Priest.
   Q: ``Who is the High Priestess?''
   A:    I see a tall rather beautiful woman, i.e. her face had a
beautiful expression. She has dark hair.*
T. knows his work, his special work and this is only the
means of doing it, like speaking of the cosmos, but the
egg is the special work.
   Q: ``What special work has Barzedon to do?''
   A:    I see the toad again. Her work is something like a
mother's; shielding. There is always a golden light,
giving a glow.
   Q: ``W.B.t.s.i.t.W.?'' _(Will Barzedon then sit in the West?)_
_(This means will she say in U.S.?)_
   A:    I see growing grain and a fox among it. There are baskets
of corn, an eagle, and an egg on the ground near the
corn. The eagle watches the egg.
   Q: ``Who is the eagle?''
   A:    I see the path and something forming out of indefinite
material like in the egg of the first vision. The eagle is in
the sky on the other side of the w. I see the crock again.
21.
   Q: ``When are we to go to Egypt?''
   A:    I see two queer animals--rats as big as horses drawing a
chariot at a great pace. I see T. standing surrounded by
four knights who are pressed close to his body. There is a
wonderful expression on T.'s face. An expression of
consecration to some great work.
   Q: ``W.J.t.o.b.t.r.t.t.s.[t.]j.?'' _(Would June 21 be the right time to_
_start the journey?)_
   A:    I see a horse's head. The w. holds out his hand forming
a rabbit's head. There is an object in the w.'s--4 shells
forming a square cross--Something like scallop shells.
   Q: ``Would the w. be pleased to take B[arzedon] on the astral
plane now?''
   A: ``Yes.''
