The Aim of Magick

A sentence or two written many years ago by William Quan Judge in his pamphlet An Epitome
of Theosophy express so exactly the impression to be conveyed that it is convenient to quote:
"The real object to be kept in view is to so open up or make porous the lower nature that the
spiritual nature may shine through it and become the guide and ruler. It is only 'cultivated' in
the sense of having a vehicle prepared for its use, into which is may descend."
This conception is likewise the point of view of our magical system. The technical forms of
Magick, such as Pentagram and other rituals, astral assumption of God-forms, evocations (though not necessarily to physical manifestation) of elemental and planetary spirits, skrying in the spirit-vision, and the invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel, are all performed with that single objective held ever before one. Theurgy and the exponents of the Eastern mysticisms are thus in complete accord on the fundamental theoretical principles.
