Review # 1 was written on 2021-07-24 00:00:00 Kurt Berlin One can read one translation of 'Natural Magic' here: And I was reading the new Black Letter Press translation, which is not logged into GR (yet, at least). My edition is, of course, beautiful, but also costly. As for the book itself, there is a lot of embarassing 'eye of newt and toe of frog' style nonsense. But there are also philosophic ideas: 'So, if you would work magic, understand the workings of your own soul, and its relationship to the cosmos.' And useful ideas about magic: 'In all works of magic, be constant in your belief in success, and have no doubt regarding its effect.' The enumeration of binding methods is the most complete ever, I think. After all, probably not as interesting as I had expected, but curious enough; I'll now make a pause, but then return to the other volumes.
