  How? I have no idea—any more than I know why a ‘charm’ from the Bible should enable Fred Martin to cure warts. The answer may lie in the writings of W. B. Yeats, with his suggestions about the connection between symbols and the unconcious, or in the psychology of jung. As to myself, I am content to regard the ‘symbolic’ magic as an unsolved mystery. What continues to fascinate me is the mind itself, and our increasingly clear recognition that, like the earth, it contains immense and violent forces beneath the solid-looking crust. Science is an attempt to harness the forces of nature; magic is an attempt to harness the forces of the mind. The history of witchcraft could yet prove to be one of the most important pages in the story of human evolution.
