"As we hear of them now, they offer elements to our consideration which are certainly not to be found in the old legends of the Black Sabbath and in the old records of sorcery, which were a coarse and crass phantasmagoria produced upon a scale which befitted the nature of the participants. Their horrors were chiefly ridiculous — the peasant’s dream exteriorised. But in these days the grace of literary skill has exercised itself upon the subject; the romantic writer has adorned it, as a Parisian, who is a man of parts, for the Parisians who are his brethren and are fitted to appreciate exotics."--Studies in Mysticism and Certain Aspects of the Secret Tradition (1906) by Arthur Edward Waite |
