💬 Quotes from the book
“The true power of the Goetic spirit lies not in its dominion over the physical, but in its capacity to illuminate the hidden pathways of the subconscious, if approached with proper intent and discipline.”
“Before attempting any evocation, one must first master the inner landscape, for the outer realm of spirits is but a mirror reflecting the chaos or order within the practitioner's own soul.”
