The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES A. An unwholesome fluidic emission, made with a bad intention; for example, to know the secrets of others, or to arrive at unworthy ends. Q. What is the result of it ? A. It puts out of order the fluidic instrument of precision, both in the case of the magnetizer and of the magnetized. To this cause one must attribute the immoralities and the follies with which a great number of those who occupy themselves with magnetism are reproached. Q. What conditions are required in order to magnetize properly? A. Health of spirit and body; right intention, and discreet practice. Q. What advantageous results can one obtain by discreet magnetism ? A. The cure of nervous diseases, the analysis of presenti- ments, the re-establishment of fluidic harmonies, and the rediscovery of certain secrets of Nature. Q. Explain that to us in a more complete manner. A. We shall do so in the third part of this work, which will treat specially of the mysteries of Nature. 107
