Sepharial
“An eagle carrying its prey in mid air.”
This is the index of a mind that is given to extraordinary flights of fancy, making of purely mundane things the substance of many and prolonged cogitations and solitary musings. The nature is rather isolated and misanthropic, while the mind is endowed with faculties of no mean order, so that the world will afford few attractions, and ordinary subjects will form only the pabulum of a more ethereal and spiritual food There will be wasting of flesh in nightly vigils, and much strengthening of the spirit in lonely meditations. Contented, supremely indifferent to the things of this world, his taste of happiness in this life will be evanescent and brief. It is a degree of LOFTINESS.

Charubel
“A man desponding, standing on a barren plain with leaden colored clouds overhead.”
Denotes a gloomy and monotonous life; uneventful, and generally poor in worldly substance.

Kozminsky
“A woman looking on an empty cradle in an attitude of deep grief, the figure of a child near”
her, surrounded by a bright light, striving to pierce the gloom of her atmosphere. Denotes one whose life will be one of experience and who will suffer greatly through ignorance of certain knowledge which would free him if he knew it. He should try and comprehend that the deeper the expressed grief, the harder it is for the truth to be known; the blacker the darkness, the greater the danger into which he may walk. It is a symbol of Admonition.
