"The expansion of the cosmic tides and compression of gross matter, formed into a plenitude of elemental portals, the most important of these reside in the ocean depths and are the emanation of those remnants of old who dwell in those depths, as well as rivers and streams, and all watery places. These secrets were long ago transmitted to land-dwelling creatures, and knowledge of which is guarded by certain star-worshipping spirits of field and fen. These beast spirits, are not only guardians of those mysterious portals, but also in possession of the mystery of the stars, which are living keys capable of opening mystic doors to other worlds."
Arcanum Arcanorum Animalis
"And in this manner, in Constellations, Words and Characters, Stones, and such like, do lie hid the greatest influences or vertues in deed, which are in stead of a miracle. So also are words, which being pronounced, do forthwith cause creatures both visible and invisible to yield obedience, aswel creatures of this our world, as of the watry, aëry, subterranean, and Olympick supercelestial and infernal, and also the divine."
Arbatel de magia veterum
"You see, my son, each one has its virtue, its peculiar virtue, but to make use of it you must understand the language of the Magicians in order to pronounce the mysterious words engraved thereon. I will teach them to you before working with you on the great performance with the spirits and the animals who are submissive to my authority and who obey me blindly."
