originally called Curiosities
from The Hidden Side of Things by C.W. Leadbeater
Many people like to surround themselves with all sorts of collectibles (curiosities), curious little objects-- figures, pieces of pottery, carvings in ivory and ebony and so on. Most of these things are harmless enough, though it means a great deal of trouble to keep them scrupulously clean, and unless they are so kept, they become a nuisance of an aggravated type. But with regard to some of these little mementos a certain amount of caution is desirable.
Many of such things are old, and some of them have a history attached to them-- sometimes a
terrible history. It is widely known, for example, that a lady in London had in her house
for some time an Egyptian mummy-case, the influences connected with which were of so serious
a character that she was speedily forced to get rid of it altogether, because of a series of
disasters which overtook all who came into contact with it. That is an extreme case, but other
kinds of curiosities also have undesirable or mischievous auras.
Many such objects tell their own story, though the owner is often unaware of it. A sensitive person sometimes finds landscapes which are entirely unknown to him or scenes from some foreign land starting up unbidden in his mind. These may come from various sources. They may be mere pictures formed by the imagination, his own or that of some other person in the neighbourhood, either dead or living; they may be examples of casual clairvoyance at a distance; but they may be, and often are, instances of unintentional psychometry, and can be traced to some object in the room.

For every body, of whatever nature it may be, carries within it the power of showing,
to those who can see, pictures of its past history, and sometimes these come to the
surface unexpectedly. Some are good and some are bad; some are harmless and others are
actively unpleasant.
When a man acquires some ancient object of unknown history, he has usually no means of telling immediately whether it will prove helpful, harmful or negative, but if he watches carefully he will soon see. Certain types of curiosities are obviously undesirable from the outset-- such things, for example, as spears, swords, daggers, or anything which may have been connected with bloodshed.
