The Impossible Machine
AURAS, ARMOR,
BARDS, AND
DRAGONS
Light has long been
attributed to spirit or spiritual
signs,
conversely, its been seen as
elemental of deception
('tricks of light') or illusion
('he used a mirror'),
in so-called new-age science
the aura is said to be a read
of personality and so on;
partly this must be based on
east asian traditions
The idea of independent light
spirits is of unknown origin,
perhaps dating backwards to
ancestor worship or early
intellectual traditions
'Aurae' may inhabit a garden
or participate in a local
convention of personality
