Magic is a science. It is the only science which occupies itself, theoretically and practically, with the highest forces of nature, which are occult. It declares and proves that the universe, in its totality as in each of its smallest parts, is subject to certain fluid influences and that science can prove this, the day that it will, to be the basis of all psychic and physical phenomenon. To operate with these forces, according to the laws which regulate them, it is necessary, first of all, to concentrate them in a point or on a given surface. One can, then, guide and channel them at will. These operations, which are very important and which offer the possibility of many varied realizations, can be made in four different fashions: 1. The operator can make use of his own energy proper. 2. He can act with the outer forces by means of induction and of the correspondences. 3. He can bind the outer force to an individual object which has been chosen for this. 4. He can bind these forces to an object that, in general, is of the material of his choice. This last procedure has been known for thousands of years as talismanic magic. It is also used for that which is called "The Charging of Volts," which we have spoken of in a preceding chapter. Meanwhile, in verifying the technique of these preparations, we have found that in practice, a shortage of laboratory knowledge often induces one to use insufficiently pure materials for the condensation of the fluids. Also, quite often, only some of the necessary materials are chosen, thereby giving the formula only partially and diminishing the efficacy of the talismans and "Volts." To avoid this error and to obtain, henceforth, perfect results, we have studied and completed three types of irreproachable fluid condensers—two liquid and one solid —which all may use satisfactorily. 1. The first type of condenser is employed by us in the form of a coat of paint, which we apply gradually on objects to which we wish to attach talismanic virtues. 2. The second we conserve in a special bottle for the preparation of very effective liquid drugs. 3. The third type, the solid condenser, is employed in our laboratories for the fabrication of "Volts." Here is the table of proportions to use in the preparation of our drugs: Liquid Condenser for painting on White Wine Juice of leaves of Lily Juice of leaves of Mandrake
