Nothing is concealed from the wise and sensible, while the unbelieving and unworthy cannot learn the secrets.
Heinrich Cornelius AgrippaSo requisite is the use of Astrology to the Arts of Divination, as it were the Key that opens the door of all their Mysteries.
Heinrich Cornelius AgrippaI confess that Magic teacheth many superfluous things, and curious prodigies for ostentation; leave them as empty things, yet be not ignorant of their causes. But those things which are for the profit of men -- for the turning away of evil events, for the destroying of sorceries, for the curing of diseases, for the exterminating of phantasms, for the preserving of life, honor, or fortune -- may be done without offense to God or injury to religion, because they are, as profitable, so necessary.
