Sepharial
“A spade protruding from the soil.”
It is the symbol of mind that is capable of sustaining great and arduous work, one to whom some of the dark secrets of Nature will be revealed. He may show some taste for agriculture culture or may follow the fortunes of some great mining industry or archaeological research, and in such he will be a discoverer. Whatever his walk in life, his work will be difficult and protracted, but success will ultimately crown his labors. Endowed with a sharp, incisive mind and strong purpose, he will ignore the advice of friends and rely wholly on is own efforts. It is a degree of DISCOVERY.

Charubel
“A man standing alone in a dark and gloomy valley, and a ray of brilliant light coming direct from the heavens on the crown of his head.”
Denotes one who will have a mission to execute; a cyclic man, not a time man; one who lives a life beyond his day; not always understood, he suffers accordingly.

Kozminsky
“A shield, with a gorgon’s head embossed on it, attached to a column.”
Denotes one of active mental power who is indispensable to his friends and a thorn to his enemies. He is capable of seeing events far in advance of their materialization and counts the years of human progress in its pendulum-like motion. He has in him a strong spirit of fight and a feeling of naught else but victory. It is a symbol of Supremacy.
