Permission Policy Guidlines

The Edgar Cayce readings are copyrighted by the Edgar Cayce Foundation. The first notice of copyright for the readings was in 1945, although they were not “published” at that time. A series of copyrights were registered for periodic published excerpts over the next several years. The entire readings were first registered for copyright with the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress in 1971. Material was added and previous material modified for various electronic (CD-ROM) versions of the readings (including background, reports, and indexes) several times from 1993 through 2005. The new or modified material in these versions have been registered. In 2005, the basic copyright notice in a document quoting from the readings is:

Permission to Use Quotations without Written Request : Writers and others wishing to quote from the Cayce readings in books or other published literary forms may do so without written E.C.F. permission if the total word count of all cited Cayce quotations is no more than 500 words. The quotation itself must be presented according to the following conditions:

    • The material quoted should consist mostly of Cayce’s original words of the reading (as provided on one of the CD-ROMs of the readings or in the member section of the A.R.E. website).
    • If original words or phrases are removed (without significantly changing the intended meaning), the omission must be shown by an ellipsis (e.g., . . .).
    • If an original word or phrase is replaced or supplemented by another to clarify its meaning, the replacement or supplementary word or phrase must be enclosed in square brackets: [ ].
    • The reading number must be identified in its two parts: e.g., 254-5, identified as “Edgar Cayce Reading 254-5.”
    • In the front pages of the book or elsewhere in the text where the reading is quoted, the following copyright notice should appear:
