Making the sign of a triangle, an eye, and a tree in the air, with the
forefinger of his left hand, he slowly repeated the words
"Barjakva--ookpoota--trylisa." and the concluding syllable was no
sooner uttered, than the trio found themselves standing in Berners
Street. But of Karaver's house--the house they had just quitted--there
was no trace.
FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote 19: According to Brahminical teaching there are seven
main classes of spirits; some having innumerable sub-divisions.
They are--
1. Arrippa Devas, with forms.
2. Arrippa Devas, without forms. (Both Classes 1 and 2 are
intelligent, sixth principles of certain planets. I style them
Planetians, and classify them with all other spirits hailing from
Jupiter Neptune, etc.)
3. Mara rupas (identical with Vice-Elementals).
4. Pisachas, _i.e._ male and female elementaries. (I have termed
them Impersonating Elementals, since they consist of the astral
forms of the dead, that may be utilized by Elementals.)
5. Asuras, _i.e._ gnomes, pixies, etc. (Corresponding to those
I have designated Vagrarian Elementals.)
6. Monstrosities. (These I include among Vice-Elementals and
Vagrarians.)
7. Kaksasas, viz. souls of wizards, witches, and of clever people
with evil tendencies, scientists with cruel or harsh
tendencies--such as vivisectionists and sophists. All these come
under my division of "earthbound phantasms of the dead"--spirits
tied to this earth by passions or vices; and I should add to the
list--militant suffragettes, strike agitators, hooligans, apaches,
pseudo-humanitarians, religious bigots, misers, all people
obsessed with manias, idiots, epileptic imbeciles and criminal
lunatics. All such may at times be encountered on the lowest
spiritual plane.]
[Footnote 20: Composed of 2 drachms of myrrh, 1/2 oz. of sweet oil,
2 oz. of attar of roses, 1/2 oz. heliotrope and 1/4 oz. of musk.]
[Footnote 21: These words are so arranged as to set in vibration and
loosen the atmosphere, that keeps the spirit incarcerated in the
physical body, and so set the latter free.]
