And for evidence you can give them this: Tse Kung who, you remember, was always comparing this man with that asked which was the better, Shih or Shang. "Too far," replied Confucius, "is not better than not far enough." To my ears there is more occultism in that than in a thousand ethical injunctions.
In telling of her, suddenly his eyes lifted, his mouth contracted, a spasm of pain or was it dread? had gripped him. A moment only. His face relaxed. It had gone. "I have since wondered, could he have evoked the goddess then? For Phémé typified what modern occultism terms the impact the premonition that surges and warns.
And all advanced students of Occultism understand why the pigs were used as intermediate instruments of the driving back of the Astral Intelligences to their own plane of life, which reason, however, is not in place or keeping in this work intended for general public reading.
The elder man was generally disposed to conversation at this hour; and after Dorothy had retired, Paul alluded to the strange scene he had witnessed through the chimney, and expressed a desire to learn something of occultism. Taking his long-stemmed pipe from his lips, the old man gazed earnestly into the fire.

Nevertheless, this "practical occultism," abnormal and egotistic though it be, may develop marvellous powers, at which we may wonder as we do at the skill of an acrobat or the pugilism of Sullivan.

"Do not forget your promise to show me something more of your power in the region of occultism," said Henley, "for I am greatly interested." "I will keep my word, but I warn you to prepare for a shock!" "I am ready, and should like nothing better than to witness an example of your greatest power!" The old man looked solemn, and then slowly answered: "You shall be gratified.
If her passion for chemistry was giving way to a budding taste for decadent, symbolical verse, it was because one evening, whilst discussing Occultism with Hyacinthe, she had discovered an extraordinary beauty in him: the astral beauty of Nero's wandering soul!
