4576. CONCERNING THE REPRESENTATION OF THE SHOULDER: A MAGICAL AFFAIR. Shoulders, also, are represented magically, spreading out towards the left and right, like shoulders of a man. This occurs on the right, in the plane of the human shoulder. They appear like naked post-like things; and, when they appear, it is a sign that the sorcerers are thinking about bending back those things, which others are thinking and speaking, to a different place. When I spoke, then the right shoulder was moved, and thus the ideas of the thought and of speech were bent back elsewhere, or to others; nor was it directed towards him to whom I spoke. When the sorcerers have this in view, such shoulders are then represented there.
