Even St. Augustine said that what we call the Chris tian religion only began to be called “Christian” after the coming of Jesus Christ — that the religion itself ex jsted even among the ancients long before Christ. When we understand that simple thought — we cam understand WHY the Philosophy of Fire, or Fire Wor- thip, has been a part of every great religion since man ‘emerged from caves and came into God's light of day! The foundation of Fire Worship is in God and no man ean say itis 4 heathen practice who has riven it any consideration. Its symbolism is Purity itelf!

All races, in many of all ‘complexions adopted the enstom and changod it only i fmall ways to moet their particular needs. According to W. 8.

Gradually, this symbolism of “warding off evil” took on a rather different aspect became # purifying ‘agent.

Interior decorators, artists and others who work with colors, know this to be true, Manufseturers of automobiles, cosmetics, dresser, ‘tes use colors which please and soothe the eye and thus help cell their prodacts. How often does a man say, “This red tie is my favor- ite”, "How many times have you known a woman to be ‘partial (o blue™ or some other color? ‘This leaning toward a color is due to harmonious vibrations which are given off by certain colors causing, fn unconeciou= peyeologieal reaction on our part. Remember we have said “harmonious vibrations". In ther words the vibrations given off by the color rust tbe attuned to our own personal vibrations ... 0 that they Flend and make @ pleasing result sre are many schools of thought conceining the ymbolism of color and its influence upon the individual. However, perhaps the most poptilar opinion is that in regard to the usage of Astral colors Among the Asteologere, it is a well recognized prim iple that the actions of each person are governed by the Sign under which they were born. Each sign, in turn, js governed by certain planets and to each Sign have hheen aesigned ceriain gems and colors which are said to Iie attuned to those born under each sign, ‘These evtors are known as ASTRAL COLORS.
