Zhongyongdaoist Posted December 17, 2014 I started being dissatisfied with what I was later to term neo-magic in the early 1970s and in particular in the period from '72 to '74, did a complete rethinking of the theory of magic based on Volume One of Agrippa's Occult Philosophy and experiences with laboratory alchemy and readings in alchemical literature. Based on some things that Dion Fortune had said in some of her books, even around 1970 I was interested in Chinese martial arts for qi cultivation with a look to learning about cultivating "etheric" energies and "ectoplasm". Jerry Alan Johnson mentions ectoplasm at several points in his books on Daoist magic. Â Nice to see that the neo-magicians are finally catching up with me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
