The questions for this episode are derived from the book, The Black Arts, by Richard Cavendish. He writes, “The driving force behind black magic is hunger for power … Carried to its furthest extremes, the black magician’s ambition is to wield supreme power over the entire universe, to make himself a god.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Cavendish writes, “Modern occultism brings in the notion of the astral corpse. When a man dies his body remains on earth, but in his ‘body of light’ – a replica of the earthly body made of finer and subtler material – he goes to the … astral plane. His soul eventually mounts to still higher planes, leaving the (astral body) as an astral corpse. Just as the earthly body retains enough innate life force to grow its nails and hair for a time after death, the astral corpse retains a faint spark of life. It has an intense desire to live again … and can be attracted back into the normal world either consciously by necromancy or sometimes unconsciously. It can then absorb enough life-energy from living creatures to prolong its shadowy existence almost indefinitely. Some occultists believe that Spiritualist seances really summon not ‘spirits’ but astral corpses.” What can Creator tell us?

Cavendish writes, “Magic depends heavily on mimicry. … When a magician musters the full power of his will and acts in a certain way, he believes that he causes the forces of the universe outside him to act in the same way. This is an extension of the rule ‘as below, so above.’ As the magician behaves ‘below’ so will the forces of the universe behave ‘above.'” What is Creator’s perspective?

In a recent show on superstitions, Creator said, “The widespread practice of putting salt at locations, at the borders around a location, as in the four corners of a room of a home to create a kind of sanctuary, might be self-reassuring as a ritual but that is only a self-soothing gesture and not a significant deterrent in any way to spirits and what they can do.” Creator’s use of the word “significant” is noted because that implies that salt might have some properties that are at least disagreeable to dark spirits? Cavendish writes, “All devils are supposed to detest (salt) and no salt should be used in ceremonies designed to attract them. Salt is anti-demonic because it is a preservative. Demons are creatures which corrupt and destroy. Anything that has preservative qualities (including spices) is contrary to their nature, and disagreeable to them.” So while perhaps not a hard deterrent, do dark spirits find salt and spices to be “disagreeable to them?” What can Creator tell us?

Cavendish writes about the law of return, “The law of return is the principle that the force of a spell which fails, rebounds on the head of the sorcerer.” What of a dark spell that succeeds? Why do black magicians believe that successful harmful spells avoid the law of return? What can Creator tell us?

Cavendish writes, “(In magical theory) the name of a thing is a miniature image of it, which can be used as a substitute for the thing itself.” Cavendish further writes, “(In the Bible) The angel who visited Manoah, that father of Samson, refused to reveal his name – ‘Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?’ The angel wrestled with Jacob also to tell his name, presumably because he thought Jacob could use it to defeat him.” Cavendish further writes, “In Jewish tradition, still frequently observed, a child should never be named for a relative who is alive, because the relative will die if his name is taken for the child.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Cavendish writes, “Numerology is simply an extended study of vibration and the numbers from 1 to 9 make a complete cycle of vibration. … The numerologist’s universe is like a gigantic musical instrument which has innumerable strings.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Cavendish wrote, “… The planets do not doom you to failure or unhappiness and once you know your deficiencies you can try to correct them.” Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the very best means to correcting our deficiencies?
