Wilderness. Loneliness; doubt; darkness; spontaneity of thought and idea; the vestibule wherein a material sense of things disappears, and spiritual sense unfolds the great facts of being.


Will. The motive-power of error; belief; animal magnetism; the might and wisdom of God.

“For this is the will of God.” (1 Thess. iv. 3.)

Wind. A simple idea of Intelligence, indicating the might of Omnipotence; the movements of God's spiritual government, encompassing all things, and coming from the four corners of the earth; destruction; anger; mortal passions.


Wine. Inspiration; understanding; error; a belief that Spirit is in matter; temptation; passion.


Year. A solar measurement of time; mortality and immortality.
