Venus degree. “A student with a lantern in hand stands at the entrance to a cave, from which clouds of barely perceptible vapors with the scent of a rose emerge.” — Indicates a person whose desires and inclinations are directed toward uncovering secrets concealed by mystery. From other sources, he has brought knowledge to earth that allows him to find the entrance to a cave of hidden treasures, though it is doubtful he will enter, as the passage is guarded by subtle yet powerful forces—manifestations of vibrations higher than the human body can endure. An intangible mist nearing an “ultra” state, more potent and effective than fiery dragons. This is the symbol of Initiation (I. Kosminsky).
