Dear Peter, >> I was under the impression that the use of the sigil has a sympathetic link with the spirit as is the decoded name of the spirit. Henceforth being the only connection the magician has with the spirit before he travels with the mental body to meet the spirit in it's respective sphere. Otherwise it would seem as if it would be a hit and miss exercise of trying to find a specific spirit within the vastness of a planetary sphere that has innumerable spirits living within it. << Yes, but such a perception would require a greater degree of separation from the astra-physical body than is achieved in Lesson Three of the Archaeous. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 21 Jan 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
