It is not the possession of the formula that creates the sorcerer, it is the living sorcerer who makes even a pun thaumaturgical.
Count HERMANN VON KEYSERLING.
‘Almost all my fellow researchers advised me to keep silent, while all the laymen of those so-called ‘occult’ sciences encouraged me to speak.
If I had had to reveal only obscure recipes of the kind to be found in magic books, or secrets already revealed such as those generally published by magazines in their witchcraft columns, of picturesque, or less invented, reports on the manifestations more than invisible forces, I would not have hesitated.
My purpose was altogether different, in that I had the intention of making public, of revealing the new techniques capable of enabling anyone to gain access to the marvelous powers, of reproducing in the laboratory, and with far more sure efficacy, all the works that soothsayers boast of accomplishing with or without the help of the devil.’
