"It is very difficult to talk about sorcery without becoming
entangled in syntax. Metaphorically, sorcery is a multifaceted
gem which lies in deep shadow. It is possible to illuminate a
facet, and through the reflections obtained to get a glimpse of
the whole. But the sides are not coplanar, and often seem to
contradict one another. And the heart of it is not touched.
It is beyond syntax, and even language."

Prof. Von Helsing
