1354. These spirits come craftily to the region of the left eye, by which the understanding is symbolized. They go toward the junction of the optic chambers, where the nerve of the other eye joins in, for the right eye symbolizes holiness, and there at the junction, the two join together, and in a manner not to be mentioned they join themselves and copulate. Thus joined together they go away, and sit; but later they are separated. (The way they sit joined together, and are separated, is not to be mentioned, being profane.) Then when they have been separated, the spirit is turned upside down, and his head put into a barrel, but he is placed upright with the barrel on his head, which he struggles to take off, but in vain; and when he is set free, he is again covered by the barrel. His indignation also increases at being thus imprisoned, deprived of sight. So he is miserably punished, for with the use of his intellect he had contaminated holiness. 1748, 15 March.
