"The world we live in may seem to be a rag-bag of odd, fortuitously assembled bits and pieces, but magicians believe that it is really a whole- like a design or a machine- and that all its parts are necessarily connected together in a certain way. Human beings are wholes of this kind." (Richard Cavendish, The Black Arts)
"Everything has a purpose, even machines... I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason too." - Hugo Cabret
"As Above, so Below... As Below, so Above"
"Magick is the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will."
- Aleister Crowley
