    It is quite impossible to obtain satisfactory results from this or any other system of  divination unless the Art is perfectly required. It is the most sensitive, difficult and perilous  branch of Magick. The necessary conditions, with a comprehensive comparative review of all  important methods in use, are fully described and discussed in “Magick”, Chapter XVII.    The abuse of divination has been responsible, more than any other cause, for the dis‐ credit into which the whole subject of Magick had fallen when the Master Therion undertook  the task of its rehabilitation. Those who neglect his warnings, and profane the Sanctuary of  Transcendental Art, have no other than themselves to blame for the formidable and irremedi‐ able disasters which infallibly will destroy them. Prospero is Shakespeare’s reply to Dr. Faus‐ tus.
