PRELIMINARY INVOCATION.

Goetia The Lesser Key Of Solomon THE INITIATED INTERPRETATION OF CEREMONIAL MAGIC.

Now, this fact is our base. What is the cause of my illusion of seeing a spirit in the triangle of Art?

Every smatterer, every expert in psychology, will answer: "That cause lies in your brain."

English children are taught that the Universe lies in infinite Space; Hindu children, in the Akasa, which is the same thing.

This being true for the ordinary Universe, that all sense-impressions are dependent on changes in the brain, we must include illusions, which are after all sense-impressions as much as "realities" are, in the class of "phenomena dependent on brain-changes."

Magical phenomena, however, come under a special sub-class, since they are willed, and their cause is the series of "real" phenomena called the operations of ceremonial Magic.

These consist of

Sight.

The circle, square, triangle, vessels, lamps, robes, implements, etc.

Sound.

The invocations.

Smell.

The perfumes.

Taste.

The Sacraments.

Touch.

As under .

Mind.

The combination of all these and reflection on their significance.

These unusual impressions produce unusual brain-changes; hence their summary is of unusual kind. Its projection back into the apparently phenomenal world is therefore unusual.

Herein then consists the reality of the operations and effects of ceremonial magic, and I conceive that the apology is ample, as far as the "effects" refer only to those phenomena which appear to the magician himself, the appearance of the spirit, his conversation, possible shocks from imprudence, and so on, even to ecstasy on the one hand, and death or madness on the other.

But can any of the effects described in this our book Goetia be obtained, and if so, can you give a rational explanation of the circumstances? Say you so?

I can, and will.

The spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain.
