One of the most universal beliefs is that a magician can harness the power of spiritual beings to gain influence and power over the physical world. The highest and most beautiful manifestation of this belief is Angel Magic. Angel Magic is a set of ritual practices that is believed to control angels, daimones, divas, genies, and other personifications of the elements, the planets, and the stars. In obscurity for centuries after being banned by the pope in 1318, Angel Magic is at once the most practical and effective of the occult sciences and is rooted firmly in the collective unconscious of the human race.
