Magick Geotetick
Magick Geotetick magick performed by the assistance of a
dæmon.Superstitious Magick is
performed by the invocation of devils; and the effects of it are very evil and
wicked, tho’ very strange and surpassing the powers of nature; and are said to
be performed by means of some compact, either express or tacit, with evil
spirits. But their power is not near what is imagined, nor do they produce half
the effects commonly ascribed to them.
Mathematical Magick is
that which, by mathematical learning, and the assistance of celestial
influences, produces seemingly miraculous works; as, walking and speaking
images, as also by mechanical science, and rare art beyond the reach of vulgar
capacities. See Bishop
Wilkins,
&c.
Magick Lanthorn a small optick machine, by means of
which are represented on an opposite wall in an obscure place, many monstrous
and hideous shapes terrifying to the beholder; and which, by those who are
ignorant of the device, are thought to be effected by
magick.
