Dear Peter, >> It is just that the Hermetic and Kabbalahistic perspective can explain the scientific viewpoint but not vis a vis. << Yes and I should think that that would be the key to integrating the two perspectives. In other words, don't try to explain Hermetics and Kabbalah with the limited perspective of science. On the other hand, Hermetics and Kabbalah can greatly increase your scientific understanding. >> Now, questions! In several places within his books Bardon speaks about something called 'mummial magic', yet never quite expands upon what he means by that. << By "mummial", he meant magic which uses hair, finger/toe nails, bones, teeth, blood and/or semen.
