Smoke and Mirrors “Ceremonial magic is by its nature an art defined by mysticism and mystery, which is to say, by obfuscation. This is doubly true of goetia, with its frightening demonic drama and its grandiose claims. The impenetrable allegories, the coy vagueness, the secrets and initiations, the smoke-and-mirrors...these things are integral to the sorcery, they are part of what makes it work, and so they cannot be lightly tossed aside to assuage a skeptical public. All sorcerers are liars, and there is good reason for it” (p. 5). Zev ben Avram. The Key of Zev ben Avram . Fall of Man Press, 2020. https://fallofman.eu/the-key-of-zev-ben-avram
