Those in bodily life who are the kind to use inner cunning to attract to themselves companions and friends, and by superficial conduct slip into their company, have a quite effective aura for doing the same in the other life. And because there are so many who live for the world, enjoyment, and passions, they are also easily allured into the society of people who have such an aura, and sometimes reluctantly or unwillingly. This has been shown today by an actual experience that came about by way of permission, so that I would know, and they would know, what they were like. 1748, 5 Aug. * Swedish for "witchcraft."
