Pyramid: The Will Against the World: A Background for In Nomine Sorcerers The fall of Rome destabilized the entire region, allowing sorcerers to gain power, and though many angels and their agents hunted practitioners of the Dark Art with zeal, the sorcerers were hidden in all walks of life, some were even members of the clergy. These sorcerers often argue that the Garden of Eden was a test that Adam won when he chose knowledge over immortality, and that sorcery was given by God to humanity in order to help solve His riddle and prove their master of the reality that was created for them. Practical alchemy is the process of imbuing objects with the effects of Songs or sorcerous rituals, whereas spiritual alchemy is a philosophy that derives from practical alchemy and is based around the transmutation of the body and the spirit, and the eventual achievement of immortality. www.sjgames.com /pyramid/sample.html?id=5421   (3020 words)

Jordan Danz The skill of the magician is in getting an audience to focus its attention where he wants it at a specific instant.

Sigils, Servitors, and Godforms, Part II Magicians using the Information Model, in which the servitor is essentially self-replicating code programming energy, might disagree, since this Model does not require the magician to use his or her own life force, except perhaps to launch the servitor. Traditional ceremonial magicians, of course, habitually do this, summoning, for example, a demon of lust and charging it with the task of causing an object of his or her amorous attentions to fall in love with the sorcerer. Although many magicians might disagree, magick is also an attempt by the magician to integrate disparate elements of his or her personality into a unified whole, which is, of course, a primary goal in psychotherapy. www.chaosmatrix.org /library/chaos/texts/servitors.html   (9142 words)

Parashat VaEra - Prof. Haim Halperin It was therefore essential to perform the miracles in Egypt, the land of magicians and sorcerers, whose expertise, according to the Ran, is "one of the branches of science,"[2] for only there would they recognize that the signs performed by Moses and Aaron did not follow the laws of science or nature.

To Prevent a "Shipwreck of Souls": Johann Weyer and "De Praestigiis Daemonum." Elisa Slattery He admitted that the term magician was not as clearly delineated as witch and poisoner28. One wonders if Weyer used the figure of the magician not to increase the number of potential victims of persecution29 but as a safe vehicle with which to launch an attack on the ills of contemporary society.
