THE POWER OF KARMA music and colour; and the seven notes of the scale may be compared to the prismatic colours of the rainbow. The colours emerge from darkness-no light, and the notes may be said to come from silence—no sound. “On the other side of silence," says Mr. Harrison, "are the Spirit's harmonies.”
By the employment of hypnotism the impressions evoked by various scents on the emotional centres can be studied in some detail, and a remarkable correspondence has been found to exist between certain colours and perfumes.
The famous exponent of Transcendental Magic, Eliphas Levi, gives a list of fumigations used as incense, to which various colours are assigned, as under :
PURPLE INCENSE, consisting of saffron, cinnamon, and red sanders.
GREEN INCENSE, consisting of benzoin, mace, and storax.
SCARLET INCENSE, consisting of balm, ambergris, saffron, and grains of paradise.
BLUE INCENSE, consisting of violets and roses.
Black INCENSE, consisting of sulphur, scammony, alum, and assafoetida.
WHITE INCENSE, consisting of camphor, amber, aloes, white sandal, and cucumber seeds.
