“The songs of our ancestors are also the songs of our children”
Philip Carr-Gomm

“Ultimately, the purpose of magic is to free our potential, not bind us to ideas.”
Philip Carr-Gomm, The Book of English Magic

“The risks involved in the pursuit of magic are--put simply--either getting frightened by unpleasant perceptions or becoming deluded. Unfortunately it is possible to suffer from both symptoms at the same time.”
Philip Carr-Gomm, The Book of English Magic
