Sepharial
“A well-appointed table, with the remnants of a feast lying upon it.”
It indicates a person of worldly tendencies, with an appetite for the good things of life, which will not be denied. The nature is extravagant and reckless, prone to all kinds of excess and passionate impulses, whereby the fortunes will be most seriously damaged. These things arise from a certain richness of heart and camaraderie, but goodwill in this individual finds expression mostly through the sensuous nature. It is a degree of SENSUALITY.

Charubel
“I see that side of the Moon which is never seen by the inhabitants of this planet.”
As this is a thing I dare not look at, Inspection being dangerous, I will simply give the character it typifies. A strange character, one whom no one will ever understand. A person possessed of powers unknown to the present race, and who, unless tile mind has been much distorted, will pursue studies with which the age us not conversant. He will not be tied down to any religious tenets, as he can never be brought to submit himself to any. He will be a magician, but not of ant- known type. Such an one may be called insane, whilst the brain and intellect generally are quite healthy. But the powers arc what I call, Moon-set! That is, such a man is out of the ordinary groove of everyday life; but he is not insane. All that the average person may be taken up with, is uncongenial to him. There is ever a gulf between such a character and ordinary humanity.

Kozminsky
“A drunken reveler in fancy costume asleep at a table, the contents of his overturned cup of”
red wine pouring on to the floor. Denotes a romantic but erratic nature who leads himself to esteem the follies of the world before wisdom. In his pursuit of happiness he will find nothing but exhaustion and fatigue and emptiness. It is a symbol of Misdirection.
