Those who have not "tasted magical superstitions" may here find
them ready to their hand. "In brief, in this book are kept the
principles of magical conveyances." It may be conceded at once that
the undertaking is scrupulously fulfilled; what the operator must
do and how he should perform it, so as to "draw spirits into
discourse," are matters set forth so plainly that the wayfaring man
need not err therein. Assuming the sacerdotal office of the
operator, or a priest for an accomplice, it is all so simple that
failure could not well be ascribed to a blunder on his part. The
procedure is divided into two parts--a general method for the
evocation of the Spirits of the Air, who are undoubtedly demons,
and a set of angelical conjurations proper to each day of the week.
The second section presumably belongs to the department of White
Magic, as the intelligences concerned are said to be good and
great, though their offices are mixed and confusing, including the
discovery of treasures, the detection of secrets, fomenting war,
opening locks and bolts, procuring the love of women, inclining men
to luxury and sowing hatred and evil thought. Obviously, White
Magic of this kind is much blacker than it is painted.
