Acknowledgments Because a book of this nature is based largely on the writings and interpreta- tions of other authors, as well as on the creative genius and spiritual awareness of the ancient magicians, I must express my debt of gratitude to all those who have trodden the path of magic before me, leaving their golden footprints on the sand for the human race to follow. Their wisdom taught me that what we know as magic is a natural state of mind, a concept largely substantiated by modern psychology. Accordingly, this book, pre- sented on the premises of the ancients, purports to show that magic is simply the ability to cause changes in the material world through the power of the will, an ability present in every one of us. L also wish to thank all the people who have helped me during the research for this book, especially that long-suffering and staunch friend of the writer—the public librarian. My deep-felt thanks also to my dear friend and mentor Arthur Ceppos, who suggested I should write the book and without whose constant prodding I would not have undertaken this project. Lastly, I would like to thank my family, especially my younger son Joey, who helped me very much in the preparation of the manuscript. Contents Irirdction THEORY 1. What Mask? 2.

MAGICISA DREAM COME TRUE, A PRAYER ANSWERED, A HOPE REALIZED. MaGIc is also a newborn baby, the petals of a rose, a Beethoven symphony. Magic is many things, but above all magic is an act of creation. A standard dictionary defines magic as “the pretended art of producing effects or controlling events by charms, spells and rituals supposed to govern certain natural and supernatural forces.” The words pretended and supposed are examples of the cautious and often skeptical attitude many educated people adopt toward magic. This is part of the myth that contends that only the uneducated and the ignorant believe in the supernatural. Nothing could be further from the truth. Primitive societies like those of the Australian aborigine and the South American Indian share a belief in magic with some of the greatest minds of all time. Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and René Descartes are only a few examples of the many great scholars who believed in magic and practiced the magical arts. Many of the works of Shakespeare are delicately interwoven with magical beliefs. Sigmund Freud was notoriously superstitious, and Carl Gustav Jung made of magic such a serious and profound study that many of his detractors accused him of falling away into mysticism. To Jung magic carried a perception of reality drawn from the nonconscious and intuitive levels of the mind. He believed that “there is a dimension ofhuman experience that is not external to us in the sense that it can be directly and tangibly grasped. Rather it is within us. . . . This is the essence of the esoteric and occult methods of the past... . People _ who do not understand this and take those teachings at face value miss the point altogether, and therefore they think that these approaches are nothing but superstitions. ”* Magic as a subject of study was long considered to be outside the sphere of academic interest. For many centuries it was frowned upon as being unworthy of scientific study and as an enemy of. religion and the social order. This is no longer considered to be true by modern scholars, who recognize magic as an important key to understandin g man’s social, mental, and spiritual development. Because of this recognition magic is being carefully reevaluated by science, especially in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and specifically psychology. As a result of this renewed interest many major American universities are now offering *Ira Progoff, Jung, Synchronicity and Human Destiny. New York, 1973. 8 WHAT IS MAGIC? A 9 courses in the study of the occult, mysticism, and related arts such as witchcraft, astrology, and meditation. The anthropologist’s interest in magic is basically to discover the source of magic rituals and beliefs and to explain how they relate to man’s general development. For example, a magic ritual for love described in detail in one of the medieval grimoires,* such as The Key of Solomon, may have originated in Assyria, where it was used to bring forth rain. The various elements of the ritual could then be traced back many thousands of years to another ritual used for fertility. This would show that to man love, rain, and fertility were irrevocably linked and perhaps share the same meaning in his unconscious. It would also provide a clue as to how magic was transmitted from one culture to another, often spanning many thousands of years and traveling from one end of the world to the other. This concern with magic in different parts of the world is of interest also to the sociologist, who is interested in the transmission of knowledge between cultures and in the formation and development of human societies. Perhaps no other science stands to benefit more from the still unrevealed but promising secrets of magic than modern psychology. Intensive study of the various magical arts may reveal that the so-called supernatural powers of the magician are in reality the result of carefully developed unconscious forces that are present in all members of the human race. The proper understanding and canalization of these unconscious drives could result in great benefits for all mankind. It has been recognized by modern psychology that behind the conscious awareness of both humans and animals there is a driving force or instinctual energy that was called id by Freud and libido by Jung. This raw energy surfaces from the unconscious mind to the conscious and manifests itself in what are known as the fundamental instincts. These are the self-preservation instinct or will to live; the sex instinct or will to procreate; and the herd instinct or social urge. Jung recognized a fourth instinct, which he called the religious instinct. According to him the religious instinct is the balancing force that allows man to control and direct his more basic urges. It is also the underlying drive behind man’s complex systems of morality. Man’s desire to discover the truths of nature, his need to define his relationship to the universe, his belief in the existence of God are all expressions of the religious instinct. We must not confuse the term religious instinct with an actual drive in man toward what is known as organized religion. Rather this instinct implies an awareness of a reality that extends beyond the physical world of the senses to a world of nonphysical or spiritual substance, an awareness unsupported by material evidence but existing solely on the strength of intuition. Both magic and religion are expressions of the religious instinct. There is, *A grimoire was a magic treatise giving information on the hierarchy of hell and instructions on how to invoke spirits, There are several famous grimoires, such as The Grand Grimoire and The Grimoire of Pope Honorius, most of them dating from the Middle Ages. lusrever, one big dferencebetnee th two.
