"Hither, Soul, come hither! Hither, Little One, come hither! Hither, Bird, come hither! Hither, Filmy One, come hither!" [98] As this mannikin is the exact reproduction in every way of its bodily counterpart, and is "the cause of life and thought in the individual it animates," it may readily be endowed with quasi-human feelings, and "independently possess the personal consciousness and volition of its corporeal owner." Thus we find the following appeal addressed to the soul in the charm just quoted:-- "Do not bear grudges, Do not bear malice, Do not take it as a wrong, Do not take it as a transgression." These quasi-human attributes of the soul being so complete, it is an easy stretch of the imagination to provide it with a house, which is generally in practice identified with the body of its owner, but may also be identified with any one of its temporary domiciles. Thus in the charm already quoted we read-- "Return to your own House and House-ladder, To your own House-floor, of which the planks have started, And your Roof-thatch 'starred' with holes." The state of disrepair into which the soul's house (i.e. the sick man's body) is described as having fallen, is here attributed to the soul's absence. [99] The completeness of this figurative identification of the soul's "house" with its owner's body, and of the soul's "sheath" or casing with both, is very clearly brought out in the following lines:-- "Cluck! cluck! Soul of this sick man, So-and-so! Return into the Frame and Body of So-and-so, To your own House and House-ladder, to your own Clearing and Yard, To your own Parents, to your own Casing." And this is no mere chance expression, for in another charm the soul is adjured in these words:-- "As you remember your own parents, remember me, As you remember your own House and House-ladder, remember me." [100] The soul "appears to men (both waking and asleep) as a phantom separate from the body of which it bears the likeness," "manifests physical power," and walks, sits, and sleeps:-- "Cluck! cluck! Soul of So-and-so, come and walk with me, Come and sit with me, Come and sleep with me, and share my pillow." [101]
