Sepharial
“A person climbing a rock in the in midst of a fierce storm. Flashes of lightning reveal the figure in dark outline. It appears strong and climbs well.”
It denotes a person who will give evidence of much force of character. One who will make his way against almost insuperable difficulties, but whose efforts will be finally crowned with a position of security and comfort. The native will pass through many perilous adventures and will make many conquests, but they will all be due rather to his own perseverance and force of character than to favoring circumstances. The degree seems to be one of UKCERTAINTY, PERIL, and FINAL SUCCESS.

Charubel
“A large iron cross lying on the ground. All looks dark, sad, and gloomy. There is perfect stillness in the scene; not a ruffle; not a sound of any kind.”
This denotes much more than I am able, to explain; but the main or leading points are these: The native will be a sufferer through life. His, or her, cross will prove too heavy to carry. The distress will be of such a nature that it will be out of the power of another to help. It may be the native is born a cripple, or lacks some other Important faculty, such as the eyesight, or some other sense; but, whatever it be, he will pass his days in gloom and darkness.

Kozminsky
“A feudal knight in full armor standing on the walls of his castle defying a multitude of”
armed people—a mysterious figure at the back of the crowd strikes a note on a curious six-stringed harp, the massive walls crumble and fall, and the defier is at the mercy of the defied. Denotes one who is apt to place infinite reliance on materialistic things and to exult in the strength which their possession gives him over the masses of men. In the midst of his power a spiritual force, acting on invisible agencies and sending forth a note softer than the trumpet sounds of Jericho, may rudely disturb him. Then, if his soul truly awakes, the native becomes a valiant knight in the cause of enlightenment, but if the soul slumbers back again into the sludge of materialism, then will the native again place all his hopes on things that seem, and the defier will be truly at the mercy of the defied. It is a symbol of False Security.
