13th degree of Pisces
Sabian symbol
“An ancient sword, used in many battles, is displayed in a museum.”
Through the effectual use of his will a consecrated man can become a symbol of courage for all those who follow in his footsteps.
Sepharial
“A circle within a circle, both concentric.”
This indicates a life that is bounded by another, a happiness that can never be shared alone. To such as one as is born under this degree the circle of existence will embrace the close relationships of domestic life in perfect accord. The nature will be symmetrical and of abundant endowments, and the life will be rounded by a full experience of all those sweet influences which are engendered by a life in accord with environment, a mind at rest within itself, and a nature disposed to harmony. To him will be given the guarding and cherishing of those of smaller attainments, and less mature life. It is a degree of GUARDING.

Charubel
“There is no symbol to this degree.”
But I perceive that this degree is charged with evil, and wickedness of the most diabolical nature belongs to this degree, or is denoted by it. This nature will be subtle but plausible in appearance. Destitute of one spark of REAL sympathy’. One who will ever prove treacherous to those who take him into their confidence. He is reserved, he is studious, but his favorite pursuit is black magic. Much of this is liable to modification, providing a benefic be on the ascendant or aspecting the same: but under the most favorable circumstances such a person will find very strong leanings to injure his fellow men rather than do them good.

Kozminsky
“A man crossing a bog on an old tree which has long ago fallen.”
Denotes one who meets with public favor and support whose temper will be severely tried and tested. Although possessed of radical feelings, he will find himself compelled by circumstances to obtain conservative support even though that support be grudgingly given. Still it will serve. It is a symbol of Preserving.

Janduz
“A soldier is ready to shoot at no particular target with his bow while a woman drifts down the river in a small boat without oars.”
