[Orion]

Człowiek z XIX wieku, Mag, autor. Napisał jedną książkę "White and Black Magic" w której jak mówi sam tytuł są Biała i Czarna Magia, nie przypomina to niczego co wcześniej czytaliście np. u Cunninghama.
Książka "White and Black Magic" nie została nigdy opublikowana po polsku, jest tylko angielska wersja, czyli rodzima autora, jest pdf i można poczytać.
Przeglądałem go i wygląda to interesująco, acz nie czytałem bo taki angielski przyprawia mnie o ból głowy.

[VerumPL]

Sam podział na białą i czarna magię uznawany jest przez wielu za sztuczny i wymuszony.
Nie opanowałem na tyle angielskiego by czytać w tym języku księgi.
Ale z ciekawości są tam opisane jakieś rytuały?
Jeśli tak to jakiej natury?

[Orion]

Jest pełno rytuałów z tego ile ogarnąłem, są techniki różne magii i rzeczy, których nie ma u Eliphasa Leviego i nigdzie.
Polecam przyjrzeć się bliżej temu autorowi.

[VerumPL]

Dziękuję, no dobrze namówiłeś mnie z moim łamanym angielskim i słownikiem.
Opisze po polsku jak znajdę coś ciekawego.

Jest tam dział o tworzeniu iluzji lecz gdy zobaczyłem ten nawał tekstu mógł by ktoś z większa znajomością angielskiego wyłapać ogólny sens tego działu?
