11. One sees, at first, clouds of various colors. These clouds appear to form in the material of the mirror, but it is only an optical illusion. In reality, it is greatly concentrated magnetism. 12. Dark, Brunette persons, with black eyes and magnetic temperaments, can charge the mirror more rapidly, but not as powerfully as blond persons of an electric temperament. In general, one can tell which men will not easily see and which women, when the see, will distinguish much and be troubled little. 13. In this fashion, it has been proven that young boys and girls who have not attained the age of puberty, see more palpably and clearly because their magnetism is pure and non-sexual. Purity is, as one knows, a coefficient for all action, magnetic and occult. 14. White clouds, seen in the magic mirror, are of a good foreboding. The response that they give to a question has a positive value. 15. Black clouds are a sign of alarm. Their sense is negation. 16. Violet, Green and Blue clouds are good. 17. Red-Carmine, Bright Orange, and Yellow clouds announce bad influences. 18. If you operate with the magic mirror in order to influence an absent person, evoke their image with the force of your will. When it is before you in the mirror, fix it firmly and concentrate all your imagination on it. Your influence will strike it infallibly, to import only at the point of the earth where it is found. But, don't forget, that you must submit to the backlash that you have incurred: the evil you must pay in evil, the good you must pay in good. 19. Have a patience when you consult the magic mirror. Certain persons see easily, others must wait longer. 20. The surface of the mirror must be submitted to no chemical or optical influence, and one should carefully preserve it from the light of the sun, for it is as sensitive as a photographic plate. The Lunar light is, to the contrary, beneficial. Cold and warm extremes are harmful for extreme temperatures annul the force. 21. All vision, which appears in the magic mirror to the left of the observer, is the image of a concrete truth. 22. That which manifests to the right is symbolic. It must be interpreted according to the traditional significance of the symbols. 23. The clouds or shadows, which move upwards in magical visions, are the affirmative responses to the questions posed. 24. The clouds, or shadows, that descend, are negative responses.
