MAGIC DOGMA

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“There is only one dogma in Magic: The visible is the manifestation of the invisible. The visible bears an exact proportion to the things which are inappreciable by our senses and unseen by our eyes.  Above, immensity: Below immensity! Immensity equals immensity. This is true in things seen, as in things unseen.”

after Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, The Doctrine of Transcendental Magic.  From MORTALITY MECHANIC’S MANUAL by Lawrence R. Spencer
