1.
It is absolutely necessary that all experiments should be
recorded in detail during, or immediately after, their
performance.
2.
It is highly important to note the physical and mental
condition of the experimenter or experimenters.
3.
The time and place of all experiments must be noted; also
the state of the weather, and generally all conditions which might
conceivably have any result upon the experiment either as
adjuvants to or causes of the result, or as inhibiting it, or as
sources of error.
4.
The A∴A∴ will not take official notice of any
experiments which are not thus properly recorded.
5.
It is not necessary at this stage for us to declare fully the
ultimate end of our researches; nor indeed would it be
understood by those who have not become proficient in these
elementary courses.
6.
The experimenter is encouraged to use his own
intelligence, and not to rely upon any other person or persons,
however distinguished, even among ourselves.
7.
The written record should be intelligibly prepared so that
others may benefit from its study.
8.
The book John St. John published in the first number of
the “Equinox” is an example of this kind of record by a very
advanced student. It is not as simply written as we could wish,
but will shew the method.
9.
The more scientific the record is, the better.
Yet the emotions should be noted, as being some of the
conditions.
Let then the record be written with sincerity and care, and
with practice it will be found more and more to approximate to
the ideal.

Physical Clairvoyance
1.
Take a pack of (78) Tarot playing cards. Shuffle; cut.
Draw one card. Without looking at it, try and name it. Write
down the card you name, and the actual card. Repeat, and
tabulate results.
2.
This experiment is probably easier with an old genuine
pack of Tarot cards, preferably a pack used for divination by
some one who really understood the matter.
3.
Remember that one should expect to name the right card
once in
78
times. Also be careful to exclude all possibilities of
obtaining the knowledge through the ordinary senses of sight and
touch, or even smell.
There was once a man whose finger-tips were so sensitive
that he could feel the shape and position of the pips, and so judge
the card correctly.
4.
It is better to try first, the easier form of the experiment,
by guessing only the suit.
5.
Remember that in
78
experiments you should obtain
22
trumps and
14
of each other suit; so that, without any
clairvoyance at all, you can guess right twice in
7
times (roughly)
by calling trumps each time.
6.
Note that some cards are harmonious.
Thus it would not be a bad error to call the five of Swords
(“The Lord of Defeat”) instead of the ten of Swords (“The Lord
of Ruin”). But to call the Lord of Love (2 Cups) for the Lord of
Strife (5 Wands) would show that you were getting nothing right.
Similarly, a card ruled by Mars would be harmonious with a
5,
a card of Gemini with “The Lovers.”
7.
These harmonies must be thoroughly learnt, according to
the numerous tables given in
777.
