An Iron Chain Is Less

Passing Beauties Are Only The Fugitive Reflectios Of The Eternal.

Magic Is The Divinity Of Man Achieved In Union With Faith.

There Exists In Nature A Force Which Is Immeasurably More Powerful Than Steam, And By Means Of Which A Single Man, Who Knows How To Adapt And Direct It, Might Upset And Alter The Face Of The World.

Hermeticism Is The Science Of Nature Hidden In The Hieroglyphics And Symbols Of The Ancient World. It Is The Search For The Principle Of Life, Along With The Dream (for Those Who Have Not Yet Achieved It) Of Accomplishing The Great Work, That Is The Reproduction By Man Of The Divine, Natural Fire Which Creates And Recreates Beings.

To Practice Magic Is To Be A Quack; To Know Magic Is To Be A Sage.
