What is left of her journals and inventory failed to reveal the source of agate from whence this slice originated.  This was not unusual, as few of the numerous agate slices were and there were quite a few of them.

The slice measures approximately 3 7/16" x 2 15/16" x  1/4",  weighing 73.8 grams.

She does tell us these agate slices display metaphysical properties that would cleanse her environment and "set the energy levels for magic to work."  She claims of using them for spirit transference, which she describes as, "seducing spirits through the doctrines of Christ."

She also notes of viewing the sun and moon through many of her agate slices.

 The slice is of fine cut and polish.

Moh-tau-hai'-to-ni-o's Mahogany Obsidian Cuboctahedron 

~!~

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia tells us; A cuboctahedron, rectified cube, or rectified octahedron is a polyhedron with 8 triangular faces and 6 square faces. A cuboctahedron has 12 identical vertices, with 2 triangles and 2 squares meeting at each, and 24 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a square. As such, it is a quasiregular polyhedron, i.e., an Archimedean solid that is not only vertex-transitive but also edge-transitive.[1] It is radially equilateral. Its dual polyhedron is the rhombic dodecahedron.

Our own research revealed; The cuboctahedron is a primary symbol in occult and sacred geometry traditions, often referred to as the Vector Equilibrium that is revered as a "zero-point" form representing a state of perfect, absolute balance where all forces are equal and in harmony.

It is considered a "code of creation" in esoteric studies.  It has unique properties that lead to several spiritual interpretations, one being the Vector Equilibrium a name coined by Buckminster Fuller in which he describes the cuboctahedron as the only polyhedron where the distance from the center to each vertex equals the length of each edge.  Occultists view this as the "zero starting point" for all energy and manifestation.  With its 8 triangular and 6 square faces, it is seen as a bridge between the masculine (active, grounding square) and feminine (dynamic, receptive triangle) energies.  This is the three-dimensional expression of the Flower of Life and a key component of Metatron's Cube, which contains the building blocks of the universe.

In Hinduism, the Akash Kandil (a cuboctahedral lantern) is sacred to Vishnu the Preserver, symbolizing the force that maintains cosmic order and equilibrium.  It is the shape that forms halfway between a cube and an octahedron, symbolizing alchemy and "shape-shifting (the transition from the material earth/cube to the spiritual air/octahedron).

Practitioners who use sacred geometry utilize the cuboctahedron for specific energetic purposes such as meditation.  It is used to align energy fields to achieve deep inner harmony and balance chaotic energy bringing it into equilibrium with great power.  Aligning one's intention with the "perfect balance" of the shape, practitioner can manifest balance and harmony in physical reality.

The Cherub's Orgone Blood Portal Pyramid

Her inventory lists this item as a "Cherub's Orgone Blood Portal Pyramid" that was gifted to her as a Christmas gift from the managers of  a shop called The Barefoot Mailman.  Although there are no journal or inventory mentions of this lot prior to coming to this estate, she does tell us she and her associates frequented this local shop named The Barefoot Mailman.  The name of the store was a homage to South Florida's "barefoot mailmen."  Between 1885 and 1892, when no roads existed between Palm Beach and Miami, they delivered mail on foot, along a 68 mile route.  Described as "Spencers on steroids," there is a web and Facebook page dedicated to them.

The Pyramid
   
Examination reveals a 1 7/8" x 1 15/16" x 1 15/16" holograph pyramid depicting a cherub blowing a horn, thought to be glass at the time of initial examination.  The green felt bottom appears to be original to the piece.  The point is damaged which caused us to decide this piece worthless and discard it.  Her notes convinced us to retain it.

  This group, by their own admissions, practiced Blood Magic and her entry tells us "Compelled to knap the point in order to draw blood, luck was with me as the strike" and here the damage to the ledger makes the balance of that entry illegible.  Piecing together what we could, it does appear it was used to draw blood from the palm of her left hand to activate this pyramid, then placing it on the agate slice which was placed on the inverted lid of the box then viewed above with backlighting to induce a hypnotic trace that would be the prelude to outer body experience.

With this in mind we attempted to follow her instructions as best we could.  By we, is describing Uncle Waddy and Kayte.  And what we gathered from their statements is they did not draw blood and used a Sure-Fire flash light from above which they should have photographed.  The pyramid lit up with a decidedly green glow and sixteen points of the lights reflection encircling the cherub depiction, which, when rotated when gazed upon does indeed induce a state of hypnosis!

Not being familiar with what Orgone was, our own research revealed;

Orgone
From Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, for the most part...

Part of a Series on Alternative Medicine

Fringe Medicine and Science

Orgone is a pseudoscientific concept variously described as an esoteric energy or hypothetical universal life force.  Originally proposed in the 1930s by Wilhelm Reich,  and developed by Reich's student Charles Kelley after Reich's death in 1957, orgone was conceived as the anti-entropic principle of the universe, a creative substratum in all of nature comparable to Mesmer's animal magnetism (1779), to the Odic force (1845) of Carl Reichenbach and to Henri Bergson's élan vital (1907).  Orgone was seen as a massless, omnipresent substance, similar to luminiferous aether, but more closely associated with living energy than with inert matter.  It could allegedly coalesce to create organization on all scales, from the smallest microscopic units—called "bions" in orgone theory—to macroscopic structures like organisms, clouds, or even galaxies.

Reich argued that deficits or constrictions in bodily orgone were at the root of many diseases, most prominently cancer, much as deficits or constrictions in the libido could produce neuroses in Freudian theory.  Reich founded the Orgone Institute ca. 1942 to pursue research into orgone energy after he immigrated to the US in 1939; he used it to publish literature and distribute material relating to the topic for over a decade.  Reich designed special "orgone energy accumulators"—devices ostensibly collecting orgone energy from the environment—to enable the study of orgone energy and to be applied medically to improve general health and vitality.  Ultimately, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) obtained a federal injunction barring the interstate distribution of orgone-related materials because Reich and his associates were making false and misleading claims.  But an associate of Reich violated the injunction, and a judge later sentenced Reich to jail and ordered the banning and destruction of all orgone-related materials at the institute.

 Reich denied the assertion that orgone accumulators could improve sexual health by providing orgastic potency.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health lists orgone as a type of "putative energy", writing that "putative energy fields (also called biofields) have defied measurement to date by reproducible methods.  Therapies involving putative energy fields are based on the concept that human beings are infused with a subtle form of energy.  This proposed vital energy or life force is known under different names in different cultures, such as qi ... prana, etheric energy, fohat, orgone, odic force, mana, and homeopathic resonance".

After Reich's death, research into the concept of orgone passed to some of his students, such as Kelley, and later to a new generation of researchers.  An Institute for Orgonomic Science was founded in New York in 1982, dedicated to the continuation of Reich's work; it publishes a digital journal and collects corresponding works.  However, there was no empirical support for the concept of orgone in medicine or the physical sciences, and research into the concept concluded with the end of the institute.

History

The concept of orgone belongs to Reich's later work after he emigrated to the US.  Reich's early work was based on the Freudian concept of the libido, though influenced by sociological understandings with which Freud disagreed but which were to some degree followed by other prominent theorists such as Herbert Marcuse and Carl Jung. While Freud had focused on a solipsistic conception of mind in which unconscious and inherently selfish primal drives (primarily the sexual drive, or libido) were suppressed or sublimated by internal representations (cathexes) of parental figures (the superego), for Reich libido was a life-affirming force repressed by society directly.  For example, in one of his better-known analyses, Reich observes a workers' political rally, noting that participants were careful not to violate signs that prohibited walking on the grass; Reich saw this as the state co-opting unconscious responses to parental authority as a means of controlling behavior.  He was expelled from the Institute of Psycho-analysis because of these disagreements over the nature of the libido and his increasingly political stance.  He was forced to leave Germany soon after Hitler came to power.

Reich took an increasingly bioenergetic view of libido, perhaps influenced by his tutor Paul Kammerer and another biologist, Otto Heinrich Warburg.  In the early 20th century, when molecular biology was in its infancy, developmental biology in particular still presented mysteries that made the idea of a specific life energy respectable, as was articulated by theorists such as Hans Driesch. As a psycho-analyst, Reich aligned such theories with the Freudian libido, while as a materialist, he believed such a life force must be susceptible to physical experiments.

Reich wrote in his best-known book, The Function of the Orgasm: "Between 1919 and 1921, I became familiar with Driesch's 'Philosophie des Organischen' and his 'Ordnungslehre'... Driesch's contention seemed incontestable to me.  He argued that, in the sphere of the life function, the whole could be developed from a part, whereas a machine could not be made from a screw... However, I couldn't quite accept the transcendentalism of the life principle. Seventeen years later I was able to resolve the contradiction on the basis of a formula pertaining to the function of energy.  Driesch's theory was always present in my mind when I thought about vitalism.  The vague feeling I had about the irrational nature of his assumption turned out to be justified in the end.  He landed among the spiritualists."

The concept of orgone resulted from this work in the psycho-physiology of libido.  After Reich migrated to the US, he began to speculate about biological development and evolution and then branched into much broader speculations about the nature of the universe.  This led him to the conception of "bions," self-luminescent sub-cellular vesicles that he believed were observable in decaying materials and presumably present universally. Initially, he thought of bions as electrodynamic or radioactive entities, as had the Russian biologist Alexander Gurwitsch, but later concluded that he had discovered an entirely unknown but measurable force, which he then named "orgone": a neologism probably formed from the Greek root org- "impulse, excitement" (as in org-asm), plus the Greek neutral suffix -one (as in ozone).

For Reich, neurosis became a physical manifestation he called "body armor"—deeply seated tensions and inhibitions in the physical body that were not separated from any mental effects that might be observed.  He developed a therapeutic approach he called vegetotherapy that was aimed at opening and releasing this body armor so that free instinctive reflexes—which he considered a token of psychic well-being—could take over.

Evaluation

Orgone was closely associated with sexuality: Reich, following Freud, saw nascent sexuality as the primary energetic force of life.  The term itself was chosen to share a root with the word orgasm, which both Reich and Freud took as a fundamental expression of psychological health.  This focus on sexuality, while acceptable in the clinical perspective of Viennese psychoanalytic circles, scandalized the conservative American public even as it appealed to countercultural figures like William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac.

In some cases, Reich's experimental techniques do not appear to have been very careful or include precautions to remove experimental bias. He was concerned with experimental verification from other scientists.  Albert Einstein agreed to participate, but thought Reich's research lacked scientific detachment and experimental rigor, and concluded that the effect was simply due to the temperature gradient inside the room.  "Through these experiments I regard the matter as completely solved," he wrote to Reich on 7 February 1941.  Upon further correspondence from Reich, Einstein replied that he could not devote any additional time to the matter and asked that his name not be misused for advertising purposes.

Orgone and its related concepts were quickly denounced in the post-World War II American press.  Reich and his students were seen as a "cult of sex and anarchy", at least in part because orgone was linked with the title of his book The Function of the Orgasm, and this led to numerous investigations as a communist and denunciation under a wide variety of other pretexts.  The psychoanalytical community of the time saw his approach to healing diseases as quackery of the worst sort.  In 1954, the US Food and Drug Administration obtained an injunction to prevent Reich from making medical claims relating to orgone, which prevented him from shipping "orgone devices" across state lines, among other stipulations.  Reich resisted the order to cease interstate distribution of orgone and was jailed, and the FDA destroyed Reich's books, research materials, and devices at his institute relating to orgone.

Some psychotherapists and psychologists practicing various kinds of body psychotherapy and somatic psychology have continued to use Reich's proposed emotional-release methods and character-analysis ideas.

In Popular Culture

Dušan Makavejev opened his 1971 satirical film W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism with documentary coverage of Reich and his development of orgone accumulators, combining this with other imagery and a fictional sub-plot in a collage mocking sexual and political authorities.  Scenes include one of only "ten or fifteen orgone boxes left in the country" at that time.

The 2025 first-person shooter video game Psycho Patrol R references Reich's ideas.  In the game's setting, orgone has been scientifically verified and is used as a power source for advanced technologies.

She and her associates had some specific thoughts on cherub depictions, naming them as Putto and Cupid and using them as a visualization tool in their invocations.

Putto

 A putto (plural putti) is a figure in a work of art depicted as a chubby male child, usually nude and winged.  Putti are commonly confused with, yet are completely unrelated to, cherubim.  In the plural, "the Cherubim" refers to the biblical angels, which have four faces of different species and several pairs of wings; they are traditionally the second order of angels.  Putti are secular and represent a non-religious passion.  However, in the Baroque period of art, the putto came to represent the omnipresence of God.  A putto representing a cupid is also called an amorino (plural amorini).
