INTERIOR VISION. two kinds of magic: one good and beneficent, ruled and gov erned bjr the Adonim ; the other foul, malevolent, revengeful, lustful, and malignant. They antagonize each other. The one revels in the saturnalia of the passions ; the other, the true Rosicrucian, moves in the light-producing Shadow of the Over Soul.
