cannot be eternally lost; but she has suffered fearfully: for 300 years she must make atonement.
“Odon shall draw her in her robes of penitence. She much resembles yourself in face, but in no other respect.”
At that time I had never heard of reincarnation, nevertheless, the idea suddenly occurred to me, May I not have had some pre-existence, and been this same Valerie?
Gilda then wrote in response to this thought:
“A soul made of God once lived upon the earth: this was Valerie Amade, whom God chastised through suffering: you are Adelma Vay.”
This spirit knew nothing of reincarnation.
January 25th, 1865. Odon drew Valerie Amade, also another spirit, en penitence. The portraits were executed now with great rapidity and lightness of touch, the medium frequently feeling an intense desire for it, and experiencing considerable relief after the completion of each picture.
The automatic writing was invariably apropos to the occasion. Occasionally Thomas and Gilda were inclined to write nonsense, but I begged them to be earnest and desirous to instruct. Thomas wrote:
“I am still frail; but if you pray to God, He will send your worthy father, who is more advanced than I. Do not give up the writing, it will do you good and is a great blessing to us. Be not impatient if I write frivolous things. God determines all things: the world is governed by His will. In the spirit world there are many grades of developement.
“All souls are the offspring of God, and every prayer can reach Him. The spirits who passed away in the war of 1859 will return to earth in 1910.”
This spirit evidently knew something of reincarnation: I asked if such were possible.
Thomas. “I know that it is so. Trust in God, and all shall be made clear to you in time. Gilda will now draw the spirit who watched over and protected Odon, during the late campaign.”
My husband took the pencil and first drew a peruke, then a face all awry, which was afterwards crossed out and the portrait drawn again; this was very well. It was Marietta, Odon’s guardian spirit in the late war.
Question. “Why was the first picture a failure?”
Answer. “A certain spirit, named Vay Laczi, came between Odon and Gilda and spoilt the drawing. This Laczi often annoys us: he is very passionate. He lived 300 years ago, and had a heart of stone.”
Later on we had the opportunity of observing the passionate nature of this Vay Laczi. He spoilt many of Odon’s drawings and woefully tried our patience. He also desired us to turn treasure-hunters, furnishing us with full particulars as to where, as he said, many Huns were buried with their gold and jewels. Moreover he would knock loudly upon the table, and wanted to appear tangibly to us, so that he could work marvels.
Thomas however warned us of him, and begged us not to seek for such tests.
February 11th, 1865. In the evening Thomas wrote through me:
“God has heard your prayer; your beloved father is here and will write presently.”
A feeling of tranquillity stole over me: the writing completely changed. I had the consciousness of repose, of another spiritpresence, and was inspired with lofty and devout aspirations. Bye and bye, my hand was moved to write.
“Your father, Ernst, is here. I see you my children, and will help you. Your call reached me: God permits me to come. My dear children, be true to yourselves, and pray for me. Death brought me pain, then joy and deliverance. Doubt not that pure spiritual communion is beneficial: it redeems, and is sanctioned by the Great and Merciful God.”
The same evening, Gilda drew through my husband, the portrait of the Emperor Carl I. and Thomas wrote:
“By his expression you will perceive that after his decease he was not so blessed as the Church supposed. He was much astonished at finding himself no longer an Emperor, and had to make reparation for the cruelty he had wrought on earth.”
February 12th, 1865. Odon, controlled by my father, Ernst, drew a very remarkable picture, which, it was explained to us, was that of a highly progressed spirit.
