“Magic is that which it is; it is by itself, like the mathematics; for it is the exact and absolute science of Nature and its laws . Magic is the science of the Ancient Magi: and the Christian religion, which has imposed silence on the lying oracles, and put an end to the prestiges of the false Gods , itself reveres those Magi who came from the East, guided by a Star , to adore the Saviour of the world in His cradle.” WorldEndsChristianLawLyingStarsSilenceMagicAbsolutesMathematicsAncientEastAdoreCradleSaviourPrestigeOraclesFalse Gods Book:Morals and Dogma Source: Morals and Dogma

But not barren the experience.” TwoSpiritGivenStarsCreativityCreativeSawsGreaterParticularAspectPerfectionAbsolutesMoodCosmosMakersBarren Author:Olaf Stapledon
“Our friends should be our incentives to right, but not only our guiding, but our prophetic, stars. To love by right is much, to love by faith is more; both are the entire love, without which heart, mind, and soul cannot be alike satisfied. We love and ought to love one another, not merely for the absolute worth of each, but on account of a mutual fitness of temporary character.” ShouldMindHeartSoulCharacterStarsFriendsOughtAccountsAbsolutesSatisfiedMutualTemporaryIncentivesLove One AnotherPropheticHeart Mind And Soul Author:Margaret Fuller
