Alas, for my illustrious name as the Sovereign of the World Alas, for my Daitu, seat of sanctity, glorious work of the immortal KublaiAll, all is rent from me COL. YULE, in Marco Polo. As for what thou hearest others say, who persuade the many that the soul, when once freed from the body, neither suffers. I know that thou art better grounded in the doctrines received by us from our ancestors, and in the sacred orgies of Dionysus, than to believe them for the mystic symbols are wellknown to us who belong to the Brotherhood. PLUTARCH. The problem of life is man. MAGIC, or rather Wisdom, is the evolved knowledge of the potencies of mans interior being which forces are Divine emanations, as intuition is the perception of their origin, and initiation our induction into that knowledge. We begin with instinct the end is OMNISCIENCE. A. WILDER. Power belongs to him WHO KNOWS. Brahmanical Book of Evocation. IT would argue small discernment on our part were we to suppose that we had been followed thus far through this work by any but metaphysicians, or mystics of some sort. Were it otherwise, we should certainly advise such to spare themselves the trouble of reading this chapter for, although nothing is said that is not strictly true, they would not fail to regard the least wonderful of the narratives as absolutely false, however substantiated. To comprehend the principles of natural law involved in the several phenomena hereinafter described, the reader must keep in mind the fundamental propositions of the Oriental philosophy which we have successively elucidated.

Everything that happens is the result of law eternal, immutable, ever active. Apparent miracle is but the operation of forces antagonistic to what Dr. W. B. Carpenter, F.

S. a man of great learning but little knowledge calls the well ascertained laws of nature. Like many of his class, Dr. Carpenter ignores the fact that there may be laws once known, now unknown to science. Nature is triune there is a visible, objective nature an invisible, indwelling, energizing nature, the exact model of the other, and its vital principle and, above these two, spirit, source of all forces, alone eter. Vol. 2, Page 5. ISIS UNVEILED. The lower two constantly change the higher third does not. Man is also triune he has his objective, physical body his vitalizing astral body or soul, the real man and these two are brooded over and illuminated by the third the sovereign, the immortal spirit. When the real man succeeds in merging himself with the latter, he becomes an immortal entity. Magic, as a science, is the knowledge of these principles, and of the way by which the omniscience and omnipotence of the spirit and its control over natures forces may be acquired by the individual while still in the body. Magic, as an art, is the application of this knowledge in practice. Arcane knowledge misapplied, is sorcery beneficently used, true magic or WISDOM. Mediumship is the opposite of adeptship the medium is the passive instrument of foreign influences, the adept actively controls himself and all inferior potencies. All things that ever were, that are, or that will be, having their record upon the astral light, or tablet of the unseen universe, the initiated adept, by using the vision of his own spirit, can know all that has been known or can be known. Races of men differ in spiritual gifts as in color, stature, or any other external quality among some peoples seership naturally prevails, among others mediumship. Some are addicted to sorcery, and transmit its secret rules of practice from generation to generation, with a range of psychical phenomena, more or less wide, as the result. One phase of magical skill is the voluntary and conscious withdrawal of the inner man astral form from the outer man physical body. In the cases of some mediums withdrawal occurs, but it is unconscious and involuntary. With the latter the body is more or less cataleptic at such times but with the adept the absence of the astral form would not be noticed, for the physical senses are alert, and the individual appears only as though in a fit of abstraction a brown study, as some call it. To the movements of the wandering astral form neither time nor space offer obstacles. The thaumaturgist, thoroughly skilled in occult science, can cause himself that is, his physical body to seem to disappear, or to apparently take on any shape that he may choose. He may make his astral form visible, or he may give it protean appearances. In both cases these results will be achieved by a mesmeric hallucination of the senses of all witnesses, simultaneously brought on. This hallucination is so perfect that the subject of it would stake his life that he saw a. Vol. 2, Page 5. A SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF MAGIC. But, while the astral form can go anywhere, penetrate any obstacle, and be seen at any distance from the physical body, the latter is dependent upon ordinary methods of transportation. It may be levitated under prescribed magnetic conditions, but not pass from one locality to another except in the usual way. Hence we discredit all stories of the aerial flight of mediums in body, for such would be miracle, and miracle we repudiate. Inert matter may be, in certain cases and under certain conditions, disintegrated, passed through walls, and recombined, but living animal organisms cannot. Swedenborgians believe and arcane science teaches that the abandonment of the living body by the soul frequently occurs, and that we encounter every day, in every condition of life, such living corpses. Various causes, among them overpowering fright, grief, despair, a violent attack of sickness, or excessive sensuality may bring this about. The vacant carcass may be entered and inhabited by the astral form of an adept sorcerer, or an elementary an earth bound disembodied human soul, or, very rarely, an elemental. Of course, an adept of white magic has the same power, but unless some very exceptional and great object is to be accomplished, he will never consent to pollute himself by occupying the body of an impure person.

In insanity, the patients astral being is either semi paralyzed, bewildered, and subject to the influence of every passing spirit of any sort, or it has departed forever, and the body is taken possession of by some vampirish entity near its own disintegration, and clinging. The corner stone of MAGIC is an intimate practical knowledge of magnetism and electricity, their qualities, correlations, and potencies. Especially necessary is a familiarity with their effects in and upon the animal kingdom and man. There are occult properties in many other minerals, equally strange with that in the lodestone, which all practitioners of magic must know, and of which so called exact science is wholly ignorant. Plants also have like mystical properties in a most wonderful degree, and the secrets of the herbs of dreams and enchantments are only lost to European science, and useless to say, too, are unknown to it, except in a few marked instances, such as opium and hashish.
