Case 2213
He was an Irish adventurer who become famous for his abilities as a pickpocket in England. His crimes would eventually see him deported to Australia where he would become superintendent of convicts. By some accounts, he also authored several histories of his adopted Australian home.
In 1926, a woman who had experienced great difficulty raising her unmanageable sixteen-year-old stepson requested a reading. The boy’s mother had died, as had the boy’s father after his second marriage. Apparently, the boy had run away from home and gone to sea to be an adventurer. A life reading was procured and stated that the child would not return to the United States until he was middle-aged. In the past, the child had developed an innate interest in such things as the sea, mystery, and the love of many lands, firearms, and the occult. She was told that, in the past, her stepson had been the pirate, Captain Kidd. (See also “Kidd, Captain.”) One month later while discussing the life readings in general, reading 254-32 suggested that an interesting parallel could be drawn between the lives of George Barrington and Captain Kidd since they were the same soul.
Boleyn, Anne
ca. 1507-1536
Case 1521
Anne was the second wife of Henry VIII after he divorced Catherine of Aragon and broke with the Roman Catholic Church. At first, Henry was infatuated with Anne, but he lost interest after only a few years of marriage. During their marriage, Anne gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, who would eventually become queen, as well as a stillborn son. In 1536, Henry had Anne arrested, tried for adultery, and beheaded.
In 1938, parents of a baby girl were told that their daughter had been Anne Boleyn:
Before this we find the entity was in the English land, when there were those tenets of the Church and the State that were at a period of disturbance.
During those experiences the entity then was close in the activities of those that were in authority; being in the name Anne Boleyn, or that one who lost in its attempt to hold to those forces and influences that would hold to its religion and its moral life, and to that in which it was associated in material and political affairs of the land.
1521-1
In previous lifetimes in the Holy Land, she had developed her intuition and had acquired a personal awareness of the presence of God. She had also served as a prophetess. In ancient Egypt she had been with her father and had assisted him in a rebellion against those in power. Cayce stated that her life direction in the present would be entirely dependent upon the guidance and direction she received as a child.
Although raised in a Catholic home, her father, a writer of some reputation, had a great deal of frustration with many aspects of his religion. [1521]’s parents later obtained physical readings for their daughter on a variety of childhood ailments, including an unusual amount of hair that grew across the back of the child’s neck and shoulders. As she grew to adulthood, [1521] maintained an interest in spirituality and would study both Catholicism and Judaism (her husband’s religion).
At one point, [1521] became a very successful newspaper reporter. One of the last reports on file states that she and her husband had two sons and that she had just been accepted to law school.
Brutus, Marcus Junius
ca. 85-42 B.C.
Case 1976
Brutus achieved fame for his part in the conspiracy that resulted in the assassination of Julius Caesar. A skilled politician, he was admired by his contemporaries for his idealism. He loved the republic which was Rome, although he was extreme in his financial dealings with others. Philosophically opposed to assassinations, he joined the conspiracy against Caesar nonetheless in the hopes of restoring a republican government. When it became clear that the republic would remain an empire under Antony and Octavian, he committed suicide.
In 1939, just before [1976] was about to be born, the child’s father went out to a small stationery store to buy some birth announcements. While he was waiting to make his purchase, his eyes scanned a row of books. Even though he had not read more than one or two books since college, he was suddenly overcome with the desire to buy one of the volumes on the shelf. The book was The Life of Julius Caesar. Later, his wife made fun of him because she had never seen him read a book. When it came time for his wife’s labor, the man took the book with him to the waiting room of the hospital and read it while his wife gave birth. Imagine the couple’s surprise when a life reading for the baby at one month stated that their son had been Brutus:
One that will need discipline, and even in the early stages the routine as a soldier or those characters of conditions that make for such should be the rule of the life in its formative experience; else the entity may become a wanderer.
For there is the inclination to see and be a part of so many affairs.
Hence we will see more and more that of hero worship, even in the early years of the experience …
The name in that period was Brutus—hence the divisions and yet the longings to be as Caesar in that experience.
Then, let the entity learn discipline—teach the entity discipline from every angle—but in love, in patience.
1976-1
Cayce stated that the child would tend to be materialistic and that he would be strong in body and mind and determined to have his own way in life. Throughout the reading Cayce emphasized that the child needed discipline and guidance or else he would have the tendency to become a “wanderer.” For that reason, when [1976] was older he was encouraged to receive some routine military training.
Throughout his formative years, the boy was seen as a model child. He did well in school and became president of his high school class as well as a class officer in college. Graduating with honors, he joined the ROTC and spent two years in the navy as a commissioned officer. Eventually he did labor relations work for a public utility company and was successful. Desiring to get ahead faster, he eventually switched careers to life insurance and investment funds, where he did very well.
By all accounts, [1976] was always interested in civic affairs and had a “natural bent and flair for this type of thing.” Over the years, he headed up PTAs and funded political campaigns; his father predicted that eventually [1976] would run for political office on a national scale.

Bulwer-Lytton, Edward George
1803-1873
Case 3657
Edward George Bulwer-Lytton (First Baron Lytton) was a member of the English Parliament and a writer of historical romances, novels, and plays. His works include The Last Days of Pompeii (1834) and Richelieu (1839).
A fifty-eight-year-old jeweler and optometrist was told that his talent with gems and precious metals could be traced to a life he had lived in Egypt “as a carver of gold, a carver of stones—as of rubies, diamonds, emeralds and those prepared for those in authority and in power.” However, over the years he had become dissatisfied with his occupation and longed to do something else, but he didn’t know what. His discontent and unhappiness had even led to a bout with alcohol, which he had overcome. His reading stated that he had great talents that had gone untapped:
Here we have an unusual individuality—and he’s certainly missed his calling!
While there are those tendencies, inclinations, abilities in any scientific or mechanical activities, the greater abilities of the entity might, in this experience have been expended in a constructive manner, as heretofore, as an author. For this was one Bulwer-Lytton!
